Hi mildstrawberry
Did u visit your gynae and have a womb ultrascan after ur D&C?
For prenatal checkup, the gynae actually checked whether there's blood clots, fibroid, cysts,
and womb condition etc. They will prescribe folic acid too.
It's already been 5mths and did your TCM say u r ready to TTC? Some might need a longer time to
tiao their body.
Hi yaya
Sorry to hear about that. U have already done ur best.
Is this ur 1st pregnancy? For 1st tri loss, mostly are chromosomal abnormalities.
I understand from the past posting, chances of re occuring again is v low.
I did not bring for testing.
Have a good mini confinement and tonics. Take good care of ur health as we will feel v weak after D&C.
Most miscarriages occur in the first trimester (first 13 weeks) of pregnancy. In many cases, the cause is unknown. However, a number of factors can contribute to first-trimester miscarriages:
Chromosomal abnormality in the fetus: More than 50 percent of first-trimester miscarriages are caused by chromosomal problems in the fetus (3, 4). Chromosomes are the tiny, thread-like structures in each cell that carry our genes. Each person has 23 pairs of chromosomes, or 46 in all, with one chromosome per pair coming from the mother and one from the father.
Most chromosomal abnormalities result from a faulty egg or sperm cell that has too many or too few chromosomes. The resulting embryo has the wrong number of chromosomes, usually resulting in miscarriage. Chromosomal abnormalities become more common with increasing age, as does the risk of miscarriage.
Blighted ovum: This is a pregnancy sac that contains no fetus. Either the embryo did not form, or it stopped developing very early. Blighted ovum is sometimes caused by chromosomal abnormalities.
In early pregnancy, the woman may notice that her pregnancy symptoms have stopped, and she may develop dark-brown vaginal bleeding. An ultrasound shows an empty pregnancy sac. A blighted ovum eventually results in miscarriage, though miscarriage may not occur for weeks.
Maternal health conditions: Hormonal problems, infections, diabetes, thyroid disease, systemic lupus erythematosus and other autoimmune disorders can increase the risk of early miscarriage. Treatment of these conditions before and during pregnancy can sometimes help prevent miscarriage.
Lifestyle factors: Women who drink alcohol, smoke or use illicit drugs may increase their risk of miscarriage (2). A recent study found that women who consume 200 milligrams (equal to about one 12-ounce cup of coffee) or more of caffeine every day are twice as likely as women who consume no caffeine to have a miscarriage (5). The March of Dimes recommends that women who are pregnant or trying to become pregnant consume no more than 200 milligrams of caffeine per day.
