Brief Answer:
Better to undergo PGS

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for your query.

I have read you query and I understand your concerns about 2 miscarriages.

Following is my reply:

1) Your doctor is planning to give you low molecular weight heparin injections in next pregnancy.

2) I personally feel that this injection may not help you because the most probable reason for your first trimester abortions are chromosomal abnormalities.

3) You need to undergo Preimplantation genetic screening ( PGS) of embryos after doing IVF / ICSI ( test tube baby ) treatment. Since you are already 33 years old, there is no time to waste. Go ahead with PGS.

I hope I answered you query and addressed your concerns.

Let me know if you wish to ask any further questions. I will be glad to help you.

Regards,
Dr. Mahesh Koregol

Hi Doctor,

We have gone through chromosome test and that was ok and also we had fetus test done for chromosome that was ok too.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Chromosomal test does not screen all chromosomes. Hence PGS is best.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

These medicines are of no help. You don't need them.

There are no tests to determine if baby is going to have the abnormalities.

PGS is the best.

Let me know if you need any more help.
