Question
Will an embryo chromosome abnormality affect my ability to have a normal pregnancy next time?
Answer
I experienced an early pregnancy loss at 60 days, which was an empty sac. I had a medical abortion in May this year. When I was pregnant for over 50 days the second time, I had a heartbeat, but when I went for a detailed check at 8 weeks, there was no heartbeat again. I had a medical abortion at 60 days. I had the second abortion in early November, and the embryo was subjected to pathological examination. The result showed a trisomy of chromosome 7. I want to ask if this chromosomal issue is with the embryo or if there might be a problem with my or my husband’s chromosomes. With two pregnancy losses, can I still have a normal pregnancy next time? What detailed checks should I undergo? The chromosomes of the embryo come from both parents, which means there’s a possibility that it could be your chromosomes or your husband’s chromosomes that are abnormal. It is necessary to have chromosomal checks for both of you before trying to conceive. There’s also a third possibility that chromosomal abnormalities might occur during the delivery process. If there are no chromosomal issues, it is possible to have a normal pregnancy next time. It is important to maintain emotional stability and avoid excessive emotional fluctuations.
