What Does My Ultrasound Scan Report Indicate?
Question: I had a missed miscarriage naturally at home it was 10 weeks since a period. Sac measured 7 weeks but baby died at 5.5 to 6 weeks. I have a ultrasound scan follow up in 3 weeks.
I am 41 and want to try again when I am emotionally ready.
What is the likelihood of this happening again?
This was my first pregnancy and took 5 years to conceive.
The only good thing that has come out of this is I know I can conceive?
Does it take as long a second time to conceive and can this be a successful pregnancy.
Other than a missed period I would of had no idea I was pregnant this time though I am absolutely heartbroken

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thank You for contacting HCM. I'm Dr. Muhammad Ali Rauf and will look into your problem.
I have gone through your query and would try to guide you in best possible way. First of all, I'm sorry to hear the loss you had. I can understand the emotions that you are going through at the moment. Although changes of conceiving decreases with the advancing age but chances are there (as you have seen yourself). Chances of abortion will persists no matter at what age pregnancy is occurring. As you conceived already once so you can conceive again however it can take 2-3 cycles because your cycle becomes regular again and ovulation occurs for conceiving.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help if not then don't forget to close the discussion and rate it.
Wishing you good health !!
