Chemical Pregnancy Early Miscarriage

How can a pregnancy not be a pregnancy?

For couples longing for a baby, chemical pregnancy can be heart-breaking.

What is a chemical pregnancy?

A chemical pregnancy is an early miscarriage. Blood test, urine test called “chemical” test that can check the early stage of pregnancy. Although the pregnancy that can see yolk sac, the fetal heartbeat will be in a phase of the ultrasound scan, called “clinical” pregnancy.

Technically, a chemical pregnancy is a very initial miscarriage that occurs in the first few days of pregnancy. The embryo produces sufficient amounts of HCG for the pregnancy hormone to be detected on the initial pregnancy test, but does not progress into a clinical pregnancy.

Fertility patients know more about chemical pregnancies than women who conceive naturally. That’s because they test 12 to 14 days after their embryo transfer. They’re majorly on the case. Whereas non-IVF patients may just think their period is late.

A chemical pregnancy doesn’t always have signs. You may have some cramping. Or a discharge. Or a little bleeding before your ‘main’ bleed. Or no symptoms at all.

Cause of chemical pregnancy

Genetic abnormalities are the primary cause of biochemical pregnancy. Chromosomal abnormalities in the embryo prevent implantation and halt embryonic development.

Treatment of chemical pregnancy

There is no treatment for biochemical pregnancy but there still has the way of prevention by preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) before the embryo transfer.

Nowadays assisted reproductive technology (ART) can provide genetic defects detecting from changes in chromosome number (Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy: PGT-A) and heritable genetic mutations carried by biological parents (Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Monogenic: PGT-M). PGT can provide an accurate result at 98%, preventing recurrent miscarriage and improve pregnancy rate.

So, you should consult a fertility specialist to help determine the potential cause of the losses.

Fertility Problems

Dr. Rimmy Singla said there are early warning signals of infertility, which is defined as a failure to conceive after one or more years of sexual exposure without any contraceptive method. Another warning sign is trouble with menstruation. If a woman’s menstrual cycle does not occur on a normal basis. there’s a probability she will not ovulate normally as well. She said three major causes of infertility in women and four in men:-

Female Infertility Problems
1. The most common cause of infertility in women is birth control pill related problems. Dr. Rimmy Singla Says, “After spending several years on the pill, some women have difficulty becoming pregnant.

2. Another major cause is Pelvic infections. There are the host of organisms that do a little damage here and a little there until eventually the damage causes infertility, she said.

3. The third is endometriosis which is called the “career Women’s disease”. Endometriosis is the abnormal accumulation of menstrual tissue in the Pelvic cavity.

Male Infertility reasons:

1. A major cause of infertility among men is a varicocele, which Dr. Raman Singla described as a varicose vein of the testicles. The varicocele causes heat which kills sperm.

2. Another cause is a reduced sperm count due to some outside factors, such as stress.

3. The third major cause of infertility among men is drug-induced. Medication for Hypertension as one and alcohol as another.

4. Sperm production problems are the fourth major cause and may result from trauma to the testicles. Such a problem could be irreversible, however, while the sperm count might not be high enough to result in natural conception through artificial insemination or in vitro fertilization(IVF) pregnancy could be possible.

Dr. Rimmy Singla (renowned IVF Expert) said advancements are being made in the treatment of these and other fertility problems.

Through Laser surgery, surgeons can literally carve out scar tissue, he said, resulting in a permanent cure and in vitro fertilization has resulted in pregnancies for those who would have no chance to have children otherwise.

    Psychological struggles in Primary Infertility

    • This leads to a sense of hopelessness of bearing a child at all.
    • A  fear of missing out on the experience of being a parent in one’s lifetime.

    Psychological struggles in secondary infertility

    • Societal, parental, and peer pressure of repeated success in pregnancy and childbirth.
    • Feeling of guilt of not being able to have more children.
    • Being unhappy about not having the desired family size.

    Dr. Rimmy Singla, an OB-GYN and IVF Specialist and director of Singla Mediclinic at Mohali, says several conditions can cause secondary infertility like obesity, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), the use of some medications, prior surgery, endometriosis, issues with cervical mucus and the age of both partners.
    “Many health conditions can be present without symptoms, until such a time as the couple wishes to become pregnant. If there is an issue within a year of trying in couples less than 35 years of age or after six months in couples older than 35, it’s time to see your Doctor.”

    September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month

    An ovarian cancer finding means that a woman is faced with surgical removal of an ovary due to cancerous tumors. Ovarian cancer is of great anxiety to all women – and teenage girls- because they face the view of being infertile in their major reproductive years.

    • Abdominal swelling and discomfort
    • Bloating
    • Persistent indigestion, gas or nausea
    • Changes in bowel habits, such as constipation

    • One or both ovaries
    • One or both Fallopian tubes
    • The Uterus

    All women should know all of their possibilities to preserve their fertility for future family planning.

    • Egg Freezing
    • Embryo Freezing

    Best ways to treat Erectile Dysfunction(ED)

    Dr. Rimmi Singla shed some light on the truths and facts of this condition in men that is not widely discussed.

    Erectile Dysfunction(ED) is defined as the persistent inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual performance, ED affects men emotionally as well.

    Patients feel shame and embarrassment. Patient trust that this condition is part of ageing or an illness and are unaware of treatment options. They are also reluctant to talk about their sexual concerns. And some time doctor also do not want to hurt the patient’s ego or infringe on his privacy.

    Risk of ED?

    Many risk factors can contribute to ED, including:

    • Lifestyle factors such as physical inactivity, obesity, use of tabacco, alcohol or certain prescribed or recreational medication.
    • Emotional factors, such as performance anxiety, depression and relationship issues.
    • Patient with diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension or hyperlipidaemia(high levels of lipids in the blood) and previous trauma.

     

    How is an ED patient’s mental health affected?

    There is a two way connection between psychological well-being  and ED. Depression can lead to ED and vice-versa. To complicate things, both can be related to other psychosocial problems such as relationships and past experience. Erectile Dysfunction/ ED can also lead to other emotional stresses and burdens such as low self-esteem, performance anxiety, frustration and anger.

    Dr. Rimmi Singla(Singla Mediclinic) best doctor to treat male infertility, lists these physical problems as potential causes of erectile dysfunction:

     

    • Heart disease
    • Clogged blood vessels (atherosclerosis)
    • High cholesterol
    • High blood pressure
    • Diabetes
    • Obesity
    • Metabolic syndrome — a problem relating to increased blood pressure, high insulin levels, body fat around the waist and high cholesterol
    • Certain prescription medications
    • Tobacco use
    • Development of scar tissue inside the penis
    • Alcoholism and other forms of substance abuse
    • Sleep disorders
    • Treatments for prostate cancer or enlarged prostate
    • Surgical procedure or injuries that affect the pelvic area or spinal cord

     

    Best ways to treat Erectile Dysfunction(ED):

    The treatment his male infertility doctor recommends will be largely based on the reason he’s having difficulty with erections. The primary cause (there usually is one) will be recognized and treated. If that doesn’t correct the erectile dysfunction, his doctor may prescribe medication or pumps as treatment. Male infertility expert Dr. Rimmy Singla said, “A patient’s psychological and emotional health and medical history must be explored and addressed.

    Stem cell therapy offers a best solution for men with ED because of various reasons including penile tissue injury and diabetes, among others. Male infertility experts are advocating the efficiency of stem cells, being able to duplicate themselves, in naturally regenerating and repairing body cells, substituting damaged ones, and restoring tissues that have been damaged.

    If you’re one those who suffer in silence, now is the time really to do something about it. Innovative Stem Cell Therapy is highly effective, minimally-invasive and safe for the treatment of Erectile Dysfunction.  Consult your trusted male infertility expert if the problem becomes a pain, Dr. Rimmy Singla (Male infertility expert) definitely can walk you through your most optimum treatment options.

     

    The most important things you can do if your partner is having trouble with ED are:

     

    See a doctor/specialist — His doctor will be able to get to the bottom of why he’s having trouble with erections and help him come up with a treatment plan.

     

    Be supportive emotionally: Avoid making any negative remarks about it or blaming him if you don’t conceive right away. ED is not something men can usually help on their own, and it’s not their fault if they get it.

     

    Have Patience — when you’re prepared to have a baby and it isn’t happening as fast as you want can be a challenge. When a problem like ED pitches a wrench in your fertility plans, it’s easy to become disheartened. Have a deep breath and remember that ED can always be treated!

    Woman who’s struggling to get pregnant

     

    “Why is it so easy for other people to get pregnant, but not us?” If you have fertility problems, that thought has likely crossed your mind more than once. The truth is, it’s NOT always easy. Millions of couples seek help for fertility problems each year. The good news is there are many reasons to be hopeful.

     

    What Is Infertility?

    Infertility is often defined as not being able to conceive after 6 months to a year of regular, unprotected sex. It may be caused by fertility problems with one—or often both—partners. In some cases, the cause is unknown. There are many myths about infertility.

    Facts About Fertility Problems

     

    • Infertility is a couples problem. Fertility problems are just as common in men as they are in women. It’s also common to find factors that decrease fertility in both partners.
    • Infertility is a medical condition. Fertility problems are not “in your head.” They are caused by problems in the reproductive system.

     

    • When to seek treatment depends on your age. Couples in which the woman is 35 or older should seek assistance if they’re unable to conceive after 6 months of well-timed, unprotected sex.
    • Getting pregnant is not always easy. Even under the best conditions, most couples have less than a 25% chance of conceiving each month. Chances are even lower for women older than 38.
    • Adopting a baby will not help you get pregnant. The pregnancy rate is the same whether you adopt a baby or not.

     

    • Fertility problems also happen to couples who’ve already had a child. Secondary infertility is a common problem for couples who’ve already conceived. It can be caused by a variety of factors.

     

    Working on Other Factors that Affect Fertility

    Certain lifestyle and health habits can affect fertility. Be sure to talk with your fertility specialist about these issues. You may be able to make some simple changes to improve your chances of conception. Keep in mind, though, that it can take time for healthy changes to improve your fertility.

     

     

    Smoking, alcohol, and drugs     

    Smoking can affect estrogen levels and decrease egg production in women. Men who smoke may have lowered sperm count. Excessive alcohol or drug use can also decrease fertility in both men and women.

     

    Weight problems           

    Being overweight or underweight can affect hormone levels. In women, this can impair ovulation. In men, obesity can decrease sperm count.

     

    Medications, supplements, and herbal remedies            

    Some medications, supplements, and herbal remedies can affect hormone levels in men and women. They can also affect the quantity and quality of sperm. Be sure to tell your IVF Doctor about any substances you take.

     

    Testicular heat 

    A man’s testicles are normally a few degrees cooler than the rest of his body. When the testicles are too warm, sperm production may decline. Try to avoid excess heat from things like hot tubs and saunas.

     

    Chemical exposure        

    Certain chemicals can affect hormone levels.  Talk with your infertility expert if you’re regularly exposed to strong chemicals. You should also ask about lubricants used during sex. Some types can be toxic to sperm.

     

    Sexually transmitted diseases  

    Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) such as chlamydia can scar the reproductive organs in both men and women. If you’ve had an STD, be sure to tell your infertility expert.

     

    Other factors   

    Excessive exercise can decrease hormone production. It can also cause irregular menstruation in women. Ongoing stress is another factor that may affect fertility and cause ovulation problems.

    PCOS & Recurrent IVF Failure Evening Clinic

    Research shows at least 1 in 10 females of reproductive age meet measures for the diagnosis of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), and many of them first progress signs in adolescence. The implications of this disease cover beyond the noticeable physical signs of increased body hair, acne and irregular menstrual cycles to include long-term risks of cardiometabolic disease and infertility.

    Sensitive, multidisciplinary care at the Singla Mediclinic Evening PCOS Clinic

    “We’re impending diagnosis and treatment from the Infertility perspective,” says Dr. Rimmi Singla (Senior Consultant Laparoscopic Gynaecologist & Obstetrician, IVF& Infertility Specialist)Director cum In charge –Ivy test Tube Baby Center, Ivy Hospital, Mohali.

    An emphasis on nutrition is central since two-thirds of patients are overweight. “The importance is on a healthy diet — favoring vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and lean meats, decreasing sugar and junk foods — and working portion control as well as regular physical exercise,” Dr. Rimmi Singla says. It is now well documented that even in the nonappearance of obesity, women with PCOS are at increased risk of metabolic problems that can lead to infertility & cardiac disease. Thus, another significant factor of clinical care includes periodic screening for metabolic complications and age-appropriate treatment and preventive strategies. Unnecessary hair growth on face and body, carried on by excess androgen is a main concern for girls with PCOS. While moderating hormones through oral contraceptives, spironolactone, and metformin can decrease hair growth, they do not remove hair already on the face, chest, abdomen and back.

    Woman/Girls with PCOS can suffer from low self-confidence as well as nervousness and depression due to the frustrating physical symptoms, excess weight, and long-term concerns for fertility and health.

    To help minimal the effects of PCOS, try to:

    • Maintain a healthy weight. Reduce loss can reduce insulin and androgen levels and may reinstate ovulation. Ask your doctor about a weight-control program, and meet frequently with a dietitian for help in reaching weight-loss goals.
    • Eat less carbohydrates. Low-fat, high-carbohydrate diets might increase insulin levels. Your doctor can guide you about a low-carbohydrate diet if you have PCOS. Choose complex carbohydrates, which increase your blood sugar levels more slowly.
    • Be energetic. Workout helps lower blood sugar levels. Patient of  PCOS, joining in a regular exercise program may treat or even prevent insulin resistance and help you keep your weight under control and avoid emerging diabetes.
