Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
My wife underwent IVF last month with a fertility expert. Post IVF procedure we had done hCG test three times as asked by our fertility expert. However, in the last few days, she experienced bleeding and spotting multiple times. Also, yesterday was her first sonography post six weeks, but she experienced bleeding. However, in the ultrasound, it was revealed that the baby's heart or fetal heart rate was 103 BPM and with no internal bleeding. Upon consultation visit to our fertility expert, she said we are not sure what is the cause of bleeding it can be implantation related or it can be even missed. But seeing the reports of ultrasound it seems everything is fine. Yesterday she was asked to change the dose which she is taking post every four days after IVF. Even today she experienced spotting. Please help us know if everything is going fine with her.
Kindly help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Thanks for trusting us with your health care.
I have gone through your history and report and understand your concerns. As your ultrasound shows everything is fine, so it will be fine. Get your blood beta hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) level monitoring. Are you bleeding and having pain? If not, no need to worry about it. Sometimes early conception cause these findings. Take folic acid tablets and progesterone to support pregnancy. Rest and repeat ultrasound after two weeks.
I hope this has helped you. Thank you.
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
Post IVF when we had eight weeks of sonography done, the baby and sac were not there. Our doctor told us that its a case of missed abortion, she said we need to again attempt the IVF post 2 to 3 months later. She has frozen our two embryos. Will this approach work this time with those embryos frozen? As she said probable cause for failed pregnancy could be anything from blood supply issues, genetic issues in embryos, autoimmune, etc. I asked her to do a PGT test which she said it cannot be done on frozen embryos, is that the case?
Also, my wife had a polyp removal some two years back. The doctor says she did not find any polyps while scanning. She also said we will need to do a hysteroscopy of my wife. Also as a safety measure, she said that my wife needs to rest completely post-IVF. We are really worried about this failed issue. Please let us know if it will work. I am attaching the sonography report that was taken yesterday.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
Thanks for trusting me again.
Here are the answers to your questions. Yes, she is right, early pregnancy losses are generally due to chromosomal abnormalities. Yes, PGT (preimplantation genetic testing) cannot be done on frozen embryos. Also, polyps are a recurrent condition but in your case, if they are not seeing it, it may not be there. She wants to do a hysteroscopy to rule out any abnormalities before going for the next IVF (in vitro fertilization) cycle. You should not worry about it, you can go for IVF cycles for four times for successful IVF pregnancy.
I hope this has helped you. Thank you.
