Signs of IVF abortion
IVF abortion refers to the situation that the embryo naturally stops developing in the early pregnancy and is naturally discharged from the uterus by the woman. Although IVF abortion is a relatively common phenomenon, it is very important to understand and identify the signs of abortion so as to take necessary treatment measures as soon as possible. The following details the signs of IVF abortion.
1. Vaginal bleeding
One of the main signs of IVF abortion is vaginal bleeding. Vaginal bleeding from early abortion often presents as reddish or brown secretions, similar to the blood during menstruation. Sometimes, vaginal bleeding may be accompanied by mild abdominal pain or discomfort. Although some women may think this is a normal early pregnancy reaction, when there is persistent vaginal bleeding, they should immediately seek medical advice for further examination and diagnosis.
Sometimes, vaginal bleeding may gradually worsen in a few days or weeks, which may be a sign that the embryo stops developing. Irregular and large amount of vaginal bleeding may mean the occurrence of IVF abortion, which needs professional physician's evaluation and intervention.
2. Abdominal pain and spasm
IVF abortion is often accompanied by abdominal pain and cramps. These aches and cramps may appear as mild tingling or discomfort, or may gradually worsen into severe abdominal pain. Abdominal pain and cramps may accompany vaginal bleeding, but may also occur alone. The severity of these pains and spasms varies from person to person. Some women may only feel slight discomfort, while others may feel obvious pain.
Abdominal pain and cramps are usually caused by uterine contractions, a natural reaction that attempts to expel the embryo from the uterus. However, if abdominal pain and spasm persist or worsen, it may be a precursor of IVF abortion, which needs further evaluation and treatment.
3. Fetal cardiac arrest
Through regular ultrasound examinations, doctors can detect the heartbeat of the fetus. If fetal cardiac arrest is found during IVF pregnancy cycle, it may be a precursor of IVF abortion. This situation is usually called embryo stop development, which means that the embryo has problems during development and cannot continue to grow.
Fetal cardiac arrest is usually detected by ultrasound. The doctor will place an ultrasound probe on the abdomen to observe and detect the heartbeat of the fetus through sound waves. If fetal cardiac arrest is found during the examination, further examination may be required to confirm the occurrence of IVF abortion.
4. Fetal growth retardation
During IVF pregnancy, doctors will conduct regular ultrasound examinations to monitor the development of the fetus. If the development of the fetus is obviously delayed or the size of the embryo is not as expected, this may be one of the signs of IVF abortion.
The slow development of the fetus means that the embryo cannot grow at the normal speed and manner. This may be caused by the problems of the embryo itself or the internal environment of the mother. When fetal growth retardation is found, doctors will usually further evaluate and monitor to determine whether measures need to be taken to prevent IVF abortion.
summary
In conclusion, IVF abortion is a phenomenon existing in the early pregnancy, which can be identified by observing and monitoring some obvious signs. Vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain and spasm, fetal cardiac arrest and fetal growth retardation are common signs of IVF abortion. Early detection of these signs and seeking help and advice from doctors when needed can help reduce the risk of abortion and protect the stability of pregnancy.
