What Causes Recurrent Miscarriages?
Question: hi doctor my wife recently had 3rd recurrent miscarriage in last 3 yrs. 1st & 2nd time it was anembryonic preganancy & there was no heart beat detected. it was this 3rd time that the heart beat was detected & pregnancy went upto 14 weeks without any complaints. when we went for the nt scan we found the heart beat was gone & the doctor advised her to take pills & expel out the foetus the foetus has now been sent for kayotyping. also previously all tests were done on both me & my wife all tests came out to be negative. now we dont know on how to proceed further. I have also attached the past test reports
Brief Answer:
Possibility of chromosomal abnormalities
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I understand your concerns. Looking at the scenario this looks like there is repeated chromosomal abnormalities in the embryo. These chromosomal abnormalities lead to recurrent abortion, anembryonic pregnancy, missed abortion with missed heart beat.
Best option would be to go ahead with IVF and Preimplantation Genetic Screening (PGS) of embryos.
PGS will help in identifying chromosomally normal embryos and transferring them to your wife so that such repeated abortion is prevented.
Let me know if you need anymore help.
Regards

Hi Doctor, also would like to add on in her 3rd pregnancy doctor had advised her to take aspirin 75 mg additionally . Now the doctor is advising her to take low molecular heparin(LMH) injections when she conceives next but we are sceptical about these injections.
Does PGS ensure the foetus wouldnt develop any chromosomal abnormalities & also would these injections like LMH still be rquired even when if we would go with IVF.
Could you suggest some good fertility clinics near Whitefield in XXXXXXX where these could be performed.
Since she had abortion on 27th April , how long should we be waiting before the next pregnancy.

Brief Answer:
PGS will help you
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
LMWH are heparin injections and are not required for everyone. PGS will ensure that normal embryos are transferred. These are not necessary after PGS.
you can start trying IVF and PGS after 2 months of abortion.
