Patient's question:
My first child is now 18 years old. Last month, a thorough check-up for the second pregnancy revealed no fetal heartbeat. On the 17th of last month, I underwent a D&C procedure. Today, a follow-up examination showed that my uterus has fully recovered. However, the examination of the miscarried tissue and my chromosomes revealed the same issues again. Please refer to the attached image of my chromosome report. Will the same problem occur if I conceive again in the future? Should I try to conceive again? Is there a way to prevent this? Is there a problem with my chromosomes? I am seeking advice. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
If there are problems with the chromosomes, the chance of having a fetus again with the same issue is 50%. If you want to have a healthy baby, this problem is not impossible to prevent. This situation doesn't mean you can change the genetic gene to normal just by taking medicine, but you can choose high-quality embryos for implantation through in vitro fertilization. This way, you can prevent the inheritance of bad genes. You can go to your local provincial perinatal research center for consultation and treatment. This place specializes in in vitro fertilization, and for your situation, they can solve it.
