Patient's question:
Doctor 120: I really want to have a healthy baby, but I have had a miscarriage in the past. This is the second pregnancy where the embryo stopped developing. I have seen many people who had comprehensive check-ups and still experienced this phenomenon when they got pregnant again. I am scared and hope that a kind doctor can give me clear guidance. Thank you, thank you! I look forward to your reply! I have the following questions for you to answer: 1. How long is a normal pregnancy until the fetal pole is visible on ultrasound? 2. Is embryonic arrest a case of habitual abortion? 3. If routine tests are normal but there is still embryonic arrest, could it be an issue with antibodies? What is closed antibody treatment? 4. Which hospitals can perform antibody testing and treatment?Doctor's answer:
Generally, it takes about 40 days to see the gestational sac, followed by the appearance of the embryo. The specific timeline varies from person to person, but it is usually between 40 and 50 days when it can be detected via ultrasound. Habitual abortion is a type of natural abortion. If natural abortion occurs three or more times consecutively, it can be diagnosed as habitual abortion. Embryonic arrest may be a cause of abortion. There are many reasons for embryonic arrest: endocrine disorders, immune system diseases, chromosomal abnormalities, drug effects, sperm quality, etc. Therefore, it is recommended to undergo a thorough examination to determine the exact cause. Comprehensive and reputable hospitals can usually perform such tests.
