Patient's question:
During pregnancy, it's always particularly uncomfortable, and morning sickness is also very severe. Please ask, is the 24th week the beginning of the sixth month or the end of the sixth month?Doctor's answer:
Hello, generally, an early pregnancy test can be done around day 35 of a missed period, or a blood HCG test can be taken 10 days after intercourse to confirm pregnancy. After becoming pregnant, it is important to rest and maintain proper nutrition, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Regular prenatal check-ups, such as ultrasound for fetal anomaly screening and Down syndrome screening, should be performed.There are mainly four reasons for embryonic arrest:
1. Reproductive endocrine issues: During early embryonic development, three important hormone levels are required—estrogen, progesterone, and human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG). If the mother’s endogenous hormone levels are insufficient, it can lead to embryonic arrest.
2. Reproductive immune problems: If the body has certain antibodies, they may resist embryonic development.
3. Uterine issues: If the uterine environment is poor or if there is a malformation, the embryo may not develop properly.
4. Chromosomal abnormalities: If testing is conducted, a detailed examination of all four aspects is necessary, and both partners should be tested.
Additionally, external factors such as pollution and radiation can also contribute to the issue.
