Brief Answer:
Due to chromosomal defect likely.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Anembryonic gestation is mostly due to a chromosomal defect. It is less likely to be due to the bumpy roads that you have to travel daily for your work.
Office stress is also not the likely reason for this abortion.
You should give at least 6 months gap for your body to heal properly after the abortion. You can use a barrier method of contraception - condoms till then.
You need to start taking folic acid and Vitamin E 400 mg daily at least 3 months before planning to conceive to have a healthy pregnancy and baby.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Dear doctor,thanks for your answer. Please help me with these followup questions. What might be the reason for chromosomal defects? Are there chances of chromosomal abnormalities getting repeated? so can i travel 4hrs to and fro on bumpy roads to office without any worries when i am in my first trimester? i am already taking folvite - 5mg daily after food.should i increase the dosage? and when should i take vitamin e 400mg ?

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
The reason of chromosomal defect cannot be detected without the aborted conceptus pathological evaluation. It can be due to fertilization of a defective egg or a defective sperm. It is not necessary that such defects will be repeated again.
In case you conceive again it is best to take an extra precaution as it can be a normal baby next time which might get dislodged due to inadequate rest.
There is no need to increase dosage of folvite. You can take Vitamin E at night.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.

Brief Answer:
Do not lift heavy weights.
Detailed Answer:
During first trimester it is not healthy to lift heavy weights or travel by bumpy roads as it can cause stress to your abdomen and can result in bleeding. You need not lift more than 2-3 kgs of weight during first trimester. Avoid going to office on bumpy roads till fetal heart beat is properly established on ultrasound scan.
Do go for regular checkup from the very first day and follow your gynecologist's instructions.
You can always com back with further query.
