Signs and symptoms of IVF abortion
IVF abortion refers to the natural interruption of pregnancy obtained through artificial assisted reproductive technology (ART) during pregnancy. Although the failure rate of IVF is high, many people do not know much about the signs and symptoms of abortion. This article will elaborate on the signs and symptoms of IVF abortion from four aspects in order to remind couples who are preparing for IVF to pay attention and seek medical attention in time.
1. Bleeding
Bleeding is one of the most common symptoms of IVF abortion. Early abortion presents mild vaginal bleeding, similar to bleeding during menstruation. The bleeding of mid-term or late abortion will be more obvious, and may be accompanied by blood clots. If the amount of bleeding is greater than the normal amount of menstruation, or accompanied by severe lower abdominal pain, it is likely that there is a problem with IVF during the abortion process.
If signs of bleeding are found, the couple should seek medical advice in time. You can go to the local obstetrics and gynecology hospital for a detailed examination to confirm whether it is IVF abortion, and take appropriate treatment measures.
2. Lower abdominal pain
IVF abortion is often accompanied by lower abdominal pain, which is usually more severe than abdominal pain during menstruation. Lower abdominal pain caused by abortion may last for hours or days, accompanied by bleeding or blood clots. If the lower abdominal pain caused by IVF abortion is unbearable or continues to worsen, timely medical treatment is required.
Obstetricians and gynaecologists can determine the cause of abortion through abdominal examination, B-ultrasound and other auxiliary examinations, and provide corresponding treatment suggestions.
3. Pregnancy symptoms disappear
After the success of IVF, the embryo will continue to develop and cause pregnancy symptoms, such as breast pain, nausea, vomiting, etc. However, if IVF babies have miscarriages, these pregnancy symptoms will disappear quickly.
Couples should pay close attention to the changes of pregnancy symptoms. If the symptoms such as chest pain, nausea and vomiting are relieved or stopped suddenly in the early pregnancy, it may be that IVF shows signs of abortion. In case of such a situation, the doctor should be consulted and checked in a timely manner.
4. Abnormal fetal heartbeat
Under normal circumstances, the heart of the fetus starts to beat from 6 to 7 weeks of gestation, and gradually accelerates. If the heartbeat of the fetal heart is abnormal, there may be a problem with IVF.
Regular B-ultrasound examination can monitor the development of the fetus and detect whether the heartbeat is normal. If it is found that the heartbeat of the fetus is significantly slowed, stopped or cannot be detected, this may be a sign of IVF abortion. Couples need to see a doctor immediately, and obstetricians and gynaecologists can provide appropriate treatment suggestions according to the specific situation.
Summary
IVF abortion is a common but frustrating situation, but adverse results can be minimized by timely finding signs and symptoms and receiving appropriate treatment. Therefore, couples should pay close attention to whether there are signs of bleeding, lower abdominal pain, disappearance of pregnancy symptoms and abnormal fetal heartbeat during IVF. Once any problem is found, seek medical advice immediately and treat it according to the doctor's advice, so as to successfully achieve a healthy IVF pregnancy.
