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 over 50 days. At 8 weeks, a thorough examination again showed no heartbeat, and I had another induced abortion at 60 days, which was done in early November. The second abortion's embryo underwent pathological testing, and the results showed trisomy of chromosome 7. 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 specific examinations should I undergo?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the baby's chromosomes are derived from both parents, which means the second one could be an abnormality in your chromosomes or your husband's chromosomes. Before pregnancy, it is necessary to have a chromosome check for both of you. The third possibility could be a recurrence of chromosomal abnormalities during childbirth. If there are no chromosome issues, it is possible to have a normal pregnancy next time. You should also pay more attention to rest and try to avoid staying up late. Maintain a more regular lifestyle.
