Miscarriage rates in pregnancy
Common Questions and Answers about Miscarriage rates in pregnancy
miscarriage
All kinds of numbers and miscarriage rates are running around out there after a heart beat is seen, I have seen from 5 to 10% quoted. It sounds like you are doing all the right things and things are going great.
Hope this helps, not sure there is an answer.
First the success in 2 FET pregnacies, maybe not the outcome, but this is a positive. FET pregnancies are against the odds in the 30 to 40 % range of achieving a pregnancy at all and it happened twice.
Second the number one reason for miscarriage is genetics, with a 30 year old donor the miscariage rate is equal to the general population 30%. It is the age of the egg NOT the uterus for the high genetic component to miscarriages.
I've just found out that I'm 5 weeks pregnant at 46!!!. I'm delighted and so is my husband but I'm absolutely shocked to be pregnant at all (thought it was menopause) and very worried about the miscarriage rates for this age group, which I've read is as high as 50%. I don't smoke or drink, I watch what I eat and am taking preg vitamins. All of my blood tests were great and this is baby number 7. Others are between 27 - 6 yrs.
The miscarriage rate is very low, given the age of the donor, likely not greater than 12%-13%. After you reach 13 weeks, it drops to 2%-3%.
I was surfing around ( cause I was worrying about 2 trimester mc rates) and found this site http://www.amazingpregnancy.com/pregnancy-articles/337.html Hope it helps ease someones mind.
There is some data suggesting that implantation rates are lower with IVF; and miscarriage rates are higher for women with MTHFR. So, it is one of the things that REs like to treat prophyllactically.
Biochemically speaking, the Folic acid theory is sound, and extra folic acid is unlikely to cause problems. Aspirin at that dosage is unlikely to "hurt" either.
This is my 4th pregnancy, none of the others with anything like this. I should also mention that I have not had any symptoms in this pregnancy, and have not even felt pregnant, even though I had 3 positive home tests. Also, when I visited my OB she told me that I started bleeding more as soon as she touched my cervix(I had a pad on and it didn't fill it up, but had enough bleeding to be more than spotting). I am concerned this could be a miscarriage, or possibly a sign of defects?
I googled miscarriage rates - at age 48, the chance of m/c is 50-75 percent. On your other issues, I believe only your dr will be able to adequately answer them w/authority. With miscarriage rates this high, chances are that if there's a chromosonal abnormality, the body will miscarry it.
Now women 40+ have a greater chance of a normal pregnancy than in the past - that much I know.
I had a missed miscarriage four months ago @ 13 weeks. Had no sign of miscarriage, no bleeding or cramping at all! Went to my regular check up & found out the babies heart was no longer beating:( Your little ones heart rate seems strong!! If you haven't had any big issues with this pregnancy I would not worry!!! I had issues with progesterone being low in the beginning so they think that was a sign! :/ Just enjoy it & try to relax!
This is so exact, that your doctor or midwife can actually use heart rate to help pinpoint the gestational age of your baby via ultrasound. The miscarriage rate for pregnancies in which a mother has heard or seen a heart beat is less than 1%; however, if your doctor notices that your baby's heart beat is off by a week or more it can indicate that a miscarriage is more likely.
By the beginning of the 9th week of pregnancy, the normal fetal heart rate is an average of 175 BPM.
Sorry to hear about the miscarriage and this cyst. Cysts can grow at different rates. If it is truly a dermoid, it will not go away on its own and will need to be surgically removed. Here is a website that may be helpful - http://ovaryresearch.com/ovarian_cysts.htm.
Tbh your never in the clear you just have a better chance of the baby living after the first trimester but stress can ruin all that if you have a risky pregnancy due to a miscarriage. Just eat healthy drink tons of water and go for short walks on cool days as a form of minor exercise dont over due it and dont get over heated. The days are getting cooler noe do you shouldnt have that problem.
I am a 3 1/2 year survivor myself. Unfortunately, we have not been able to have children. After my right ovary and tube were removed, I had one miscarriage and then an ectopic pregnancy in my only good tube. Our only chances of pregnancy are through IVF, and we're still paying the medical bills from my cancer surgeries.
I'm glad to hear you have a child. That's hope for me!
How old were you when it was diagnosed?
Like myself I am taking progesterone inserts vaginally because after a certain period in my pregnancy the babies stop developing. So when that happens the body deems the undergrowth as a threat to the body. And you know what our bodies do when things don't belong, defense mechanisms. We miscarry to pass thru this. So talk to your doctor the next time and tell them to not only check your hcg levels but to also check your progesterone levels.
God bless you sweetie.
I had a septum in my uterus, and carried my son to full term. Later after a miscarriage, I had a D&C and they removed the septum. My son just pushed the septum aside as he grew. But the reasoning for removing the septum is that it has poor blood supply, and if an embryo implants on it, the embryo might not get enough blood and the pregnancy fail.
It has been linked to higher miscarriage rates, as well as increased risk of pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes and preterm birth. Doesn't mean any of these will be a problem for you, you just have a slightly higher risk. I was very depleted of vitamin D when I had my miscarriage, not sure if that's what contributed, but I took a supplement to boost it before this pregnancy and I'm fairly high now, so supplements seem to work well.
The risk is said to be that if the baby implants on the uterine septum (if you have one), it might not get a good blood supply and you would lose the pregnancy. But the jury is still out on how much the uterus' shape affects the rate of pregnancy loss.
I am so sorry your going through this.
First off, please let me assure you that you did nothing wrong. This is much more common then I think most women realize. In first trimester miscarriage there is rarely anything you can do to prevent or cause it.
Some women have signs and symptoms, others none at all when they get the news through ultrasound.
