Is it necessary to do embryo testing for miscarriage in the first trimester?

For me, it's very necessary.

I am a very anxious and pessimistic person myself, always full of fear of unknown results, and I need a definite result to settle my heart.

After about 10 weeks of my first pregnancy, I suddenly felt that I had lost the meaning of my life's struggle.

Actually, I didn't think that having a child was a necessity in life.

My husband and I both come from rural areas, and our family can't help us financially, so we have to fight for everything.

I put all my passion into working and making money.

The child was not in my life plan at the time.

If you have read my previous notes, you should know that I was diagnosed with a suspected bicornuate uterus for the first time during pregnancy.

As a result, the fetus stopped naturally at 10 weeks of pregnancy, and my thoughts at the time were whether it was my own (genetic, chromosomal or uterine malformation) that caused the abnormality of the embryo, whether I could get pregnant in the future, and whether I would still have my own childWhat is the meaning of my life if I don't have children?

At that moment I was extremely confused, to be precise, I was afraid and pessimistic.

Therefore, after the missed miscarriage, although my classmates in the reproductive medicine department advised me that there was no need to spend more money on embryo testing, and most of the first-trimester miscarriages were caused by chromosomal abnormalities, I still spent 2,400 yuan to do an embryo genetic test.

I need to know an exact outcome to reassure myself.

In about 10 days, the test results were sent to me.

The results showed that chromosome 9 abnormality, which is a chromosomal abnormality of 3 bodies, is a relatively common chromosomal abnormality that causes spontaneous abortion, usually in the first trimester. At that moment, I was relieved.

Later, I did a karyotype analysis and hysteroscopy myself, and the results showed that my chromosomes were normal and my uterus was the more common incomplete mediastinal uterus.

I saw several doctors in the reproductive medicine department, and the doctors advised me to prepare for pregnancy naturally first, and not to deal with it.

Then I did get pregnant.

The key to whether to do embryo testing or not lies in one's own psychological state, and fetal arrest in the first trimester is also a way of survival of the fittest.

I hope that my sisters who have had the same experience as me can have a smooth pregnancy and have a healthy baby.
