Patient's question:
Preparing for pregnancy, I had a miscarriage in July 2018 because the fetal heartbeat stopped. I had an abortion at that time, and I was only about one and a half months pregnant. The child passed away, and the doctor at the hospital also said there were multiple different possibilities. Now I want to do pre-pregnancy tests, what detailed tests would be better to do.Doctor's answer:
Your situation should involve blood tests for six hormones, thyroid hormones, a thorough ultrasound examination of the follicles, a routine semen analysis, the five-item pre-natal test, and an endocrine function evaluation. Pay attention to human chorionic gonadotropin; if the mother's endogenous hormones are insufficient, it may lead to embryonic arrest. Identifying the cause and treating accordingly will yield better results. During pre-pregnancy, it is recommended to take folic acid, quit smoking and alcohol, and avoid exposure to radiation.
