Patient's question:
First pregnancy at 60 days, a thorough examination revealed embryonic arrest, it was an empty sac. In May of this year, I had an induced abortion. The second pregnancy showed a heartbeat at 50 days, but at 8 weeks, a thorough examination revealed no heartbeat again. I had another induced abortion at 60 days, done in early November. The second abortion's embryo underwent pathological testing, which showed trisomy 7 of the chromosome. I want to ask if this chromosomal issue is related to the embryo or if it could be a problem with my husband and my chromosomes. With two instances of embryonic arrest, can I still conceive normally next time, and what thorough examinations should I undergo?Doctor's answer:
The chromosomes of the fetus are derived from both parents, which means the second possibility could be that your chromosomes or your husband's chromosomes are abnormal. Before pregnancy, it is necessary to have both of you checked for chromosomal issues. The third possibility could be a recurring chromosomal abnormality during childbirth. If there are no chromosomal problems, it is possible to have a normal pregnancy next time. It is important to maintain emotional stability and avoid excessive emotional fluctuations.
