Elena asks:

Pregnancy was established by the hCG test, which showed 5-6 weeks. I registered with the LCD, took the hCG test again after 2-3 weeks, it showed clearly 9 weeks, growing proportionally as expected. Then at week 12 there was a planned ultrasound, which reported that it was measured at 7.6 weeks .How is this possible if according to the ZGCH there was a good indicator of 9? Everything was taken in a private clinic. Was the ultrasound wrong? Or could the hCG grow normally with a frozen fetus? The vacuum has already been done, we are waiting for the results of the genetic examination.

Answers Palyga Igor Evgenievich:

Hello, Elena! The hCG level cannot rise in the normal progression during fetal freezing. If the fetus froze at the 8th week, then the hCG level should not have increased or decreased from this period. An error occurred in the laboratory.

Natalia asks:

Good day. Vaginity stopped at the end of 8 days. Before pregnancy started again, DHEAS, AT to FS, ovarian anticoagulant, coagulogram, TSH, 17-OPK, prolactin were checked, all infections were checked - everything is normal i. Increased testosterone levels were detected and a COC was prescribed for 3 months, a month after the change, I became pregnant with two. After 5-6 years of age, testosterone had risen again. I took duphaston and folic acid for support, but it was not indicated for other medications. o), they said to try until it turns out wrong. In the Czech Republic, it is still impossible to confirm the diagnosis. After a medical abortion, the following tests were performed: hysteroscopy in Lvov (a double uterus was not confirmed, there were no septums, no pathologies were detected), a normal coagulogram (D-dimer cream 1.0,N less than 0.25) The Leiden mutation was not detected. Antibodies to hCG were detected, IgG 1.67 (>1.15 positive), IgM 1.17 (>1.15 positive)!!! And now prolactin is high 1182 (127-637), testosterone has risen again, jumped and Index NOMA (before pregnancy, the balls are normal). Doctors throw up their hands. They want to get involved with AT before hCG. Ale decided to give me everything to support ECO-vagility in order to get ahead of all possible treatments: low molecular weight heparins, cardiomagnyl, bioven, duphaston, dexamethasone or metipred, verospiron, curantyl. There are no supers on the dose of drugs. I don’t drink Duphaston as a replacement. , there is no doubt about the result for 5 years, but it’s important to know that even after a positive test. Possible reason for all this is fear of repetition .
I am adding previous correspondence for information
Natalia asks:
Hello. I am 29 years old. Over the course of 6 years, I experienced 2 miscarriages and 2 frozen pregnancies at 7-10 weeks. During this period, many tests were taken.
-TORCH complex, urogenital infections are normal;
-antibodies to phospholipids are within normal limits;
-cortisol, FSH, LH, progesterone, prolactin, TSH, AT, TP, 17-OPK-normal; DHEA-S - 2 times higher than normal (the level was controlled with dexamethasone before and during pregnancy, but to no avail)
-Coagulogram is normal;
- no lupus anticoagulant detected;
- homocysteine ​​and folic acid norm;
-karyotype of both is normal;
- fetal histology - without deviations;
- HLA typing analysis of class 2 - low level of homology between gene alleys;
- based on the results of the immunogram, neovir amp was prescribed six months ago. and Wobenzym, because the doctor noticed the presence of some kind of virus in the body;
Pregnancy comes easily. What else can you recommend for examination in order to prevent yourself from repeating the situation? In this case, is it necessary to give your husband a spermogram, and what is DNA fragmentation of sperm and what for? Can hysteroscopy show anything? Is it advisable? in my case, take duphaston even with normal level progesterone.

Palyga Igor Evgenievich answers:
Let's sort it out in order. I would advise you to check the thyroid gland - donate blood not only for TSH, but also for T3, T4, AT to TPO, AT to TG and undergo an ultrasound scan of the thyroid gland. At what dose did you take dexamethasone and from what period? There is no point in taking a spermogram and an NVA test (to detect DNA fragmentation) for a husband, because... You get pregnant without problems.
For the same reason, there is no need for hysteroscopy; if there was pathology in the uterine cavity (polyps, etc.), you would not get pregnant. There is no need to interfere with the uterine cavity again. You have a problem either hormonal or immunological. Ideally, I would advise getting tested for the presence of antibodies to hCG and progesterone, but not every laboratory carries out these tests. After pregnancy, what medications were you prescribed for support?
Duphaston can be taken even with normal progesterone levels, but in the absence of antibodies.

Natalia asks
Thanks for the answer. I had an ultrasound of the thyroid gland and it was normal. Thyroid hormones were all normal. Dexamethasone took 0.25 mg per day (half a tablet) for 2 months before pregnancy and then when the level returned to normal, then during pregnancy I took 0.125 mg per day (until the pregnancy died out at 7 weeks).
After pregnancy, Viburkol, Duphaston, Pregnil injections, Magne B6 were prescribed.

Answers Palyga Igor Evgenievich:

Good day, Natalia! Your appearance is not standard and requires medical evidence when dealing with vomiting. On one side, a psychological official is asking (the fear of wasting vagrancy is to blame). This problem is easily understood by Rozmova and a psychologist. On the other hand, you have a combination factor of non-incarceration, as I suspect, both an immunological factor (presence of antibodies) and a hormonal factor (increased level of testosterone). There is no need for a lot of drugs that you need to use. I would act immediately - at the stage of planned gestation, there is enough folic acid and dexamethasone in a minimal amount (to normalize hormonal levels). Since antibodies to CGL are found to be associated with vaginosis, it means that it must be instilled once at the planning stage. How is your vaga? If the range is 60 kg, then the minimum dose is 5 fl. 5% solution, 50 ml. You can see all the antibodies and have a positive effect on the endometrium. After the onset of vomiting, it is necessary to perform a hemostasiogram. If necessary, low molecular weight heparin is prescribed. If the level of progesterone is low, progesterone support is prescribed (I use injectable progesterone + vaginal supplementation). Bioven is administered after confirming the fact of pregnancy in the same dose, and then 2-3 fl. (the drug lasts 28 -30 days). Zyviy HG (pregnyl) cannot be administered if antibodies are present! Applications of vitamins also only create additional stress on the liver, no more. You have already received a lot of things. If you are unwell, you can come to our clinic. The only thing we are not afraid of is the analysis for antibodies before CGL, it would be important to know that de Vi carried out this analysis. Head of caution in dynamics, skin symptoms may be confirmed by fastening. As you know, we are writing to a professor-immunologist from Kiev, who has been widely vikorystvo for the past three years (although he recommends administering large doses, which is not soon possible from a financial point of view). Our specialists try to balance on the optimal performance-efficiency relationship, otherwise your situation cannot be solved without it. All the best! For the sake of helping.

Evgenia asks:

Hello! I was 24 years old, half a year ago, a frozen pregnancy test then showed me pregnancy only at the 4th week B. then they kept me and cleaned me in no way since the embryo was not visualized by the deadline, but maybe I had late ovulation. I took Yarina for 4 months and quit delay again, the test is silent, I went for an ultrasound of the endometrium, 11 mm. And the ultrasound specialist didn’t see anything, she said that ovulation should come, the follicles are good. But maybe she just hasn’t seen anything yet? With this size of the endometrium, B is possible?

Answers Purpura Roksolana Yosipovna:

It is impossible to rely on the thickness of the endometrium to determine the fact of pregnancy. If you suspect pregnancy, then donate blood for hCG, its indicator will accurately indicate whether you are pregnant.

Your doctor’s tactics are correct, time will tell how the situation will develop in the future, so far I don’t see anything critical. According to statistics, 10% of all pregnancies end in miscarriages, unfortunately. Try to get pregnant under the supervision of a gynecologist, especially since the so-called rebound effect should be observed and it should be easier to get pregnant. I wish you success!

Irina asks:

Good afternoon

My name is Irina (Kyiv), I’m 28. Please help me figure it out and tell me what to do. I have a frozen pregnancy at 3-4 weeks after a successful, healthy first one. Now my daughter is 1.5. After the birth, immunoglobulin was administered, since I was in group 4 (-), my husband was in group 3 (+). As soon as the test showed a positive result for the second time, I immediately ran for a consultation at the LCD, and we agreed with the gynecologist that we would be registered in the 8th week. It all started with a slight brownish discharge at lunchtime, I immediately addressed this problem to the LCD and the gynecologist sent me for an ultrasound, but before that she carefully examined me on the gynecological chair. Now I'm worried whether this could have caused a miscarriage, because the period was sooo short, and if there was also a threat...
1) Tell me how to behave in such a situation in order to avoid this in the future? Is inspection really dangerous when there is a threat and for such a short period of time?
Next, a vaginal ultrasound showed a non-developing frozen pregnancy at 3-4 weeks, and I was immediately sent for curettage!!
2) Again, the question is - is it advisable to carry out curettage at this time, because this operation is much more dangerous than medical abortion or vacuum??!! Sorry, I didn't think about it then.
And again the doctor examined me in the maternity hospital (there was practically no discharge), and I still decided to do another ultrasound and left, but, unfortunately, I did not have time to do another ultrasound, the discharge increased sharply, a clot came out, and I returned for scraping. After the operation, I took antibiotics for 5 days, blood tests (I did not test for antibodies) and urine tests were normal. For some reason, the extract says “incomplete abortion at 5-6 weeks”, and only the remnants of the placenta were removed.
3) And yet, what could have caused the miscarriage in your opinion? And please tell me what kind of examination needs to be done, what tests to take and whether it is necessary to undergo a course of treatment for prevention and what kind (suppositories, for example, as after childbirth)?
The doctor at the residential complex said to take TORCH and see a geneticist.
I'm really looking forward to your answer! Thank you!

Answers Korchinskaya Ivanna Ivanovna:

Unfortunately, spontaneous miscarriages occur at such short notices and this is not uncommon. They are usually caused by a genetic pathology or infection, which is why the doctor referred you to get tested for torch infections. I would not rush to see a geneticist, since your first child is healthy. I don’t think about an examination in a gynecological chair. that he made the situation worse. You were prescribed an antibiotic after curettage for prophylaxis, the discharge stated 5-6 weeks, because obstetric weeks are counted, and you count by the date of conception, you don’t need to take anything else until you donate blood for torque infections. A gynecologist will prescribe a test for group hemolysins and Rh antibodies after you become pregnant in the future.

A month after the tests, after a delay, I did tests at home and took an hCG test in Sinevo (result: 1779
mIU/ml under conditions:
Non-pregnant women up to 1.0
Non-pregnant women (postmenopause)
up to 7.0
Men - up to 2.0 Pregnancy: 3
weeks – 5.8-71.2; 4 weeks–9.5 -750;
5 weeks – 217-7138; 6 weeks – 158-31795;)

I came to the doctor with good news and for advice on further actions, and showed her all the tests that I had taken without her knowledge.
She rolled her eyes and said how I couldn’t tell her about such indicators of Toxoplasma and that in most cases a frozen pregnancy occurs. But she told me to go for an ultrasound. The ultrasound specialist said that the pregnancy is 3-3.5 weeks. Then the doctor looked at my hCG tests (saying, again, that I shouldn’t have taken them) and said that in this case, my hCG level was too high, given the diagnosis of the term by the ultrasound specialist. But I drew her attention to the fact that in Sinevo they give the following explanation: “during pregnancy, the obtained absolute values ​​of beta-hCG are interpreted in accordance with gestational age (weeks of pregnancy from the moment last menstrual period)", and then everything was normal for me (considering that my last period was on October 30). She waved her hand and said to retake the hCG test again in a week and in a week and a half come again for an ultrasound to confirm or refute the frozen one.
Naturally, I am in a state of shock and losing nerve cells at the highest speed... I can’t find a place for myself.
Tell me, what are the prognosis for my pregnancy? And maybe there is something that needs to be paid more attention to?

Thank you in advance!

Answers:

Good afternoon, Mahbz. First, calm down. Secondly, the presence of IgG to toxoplasma before pregnancy is evidence that you have had toxoplasmosis previously, and now you have fully developed immunity to this infection. Thanks to the presence of such immunity, you yourself will never get toxoplasmosis again (IgG to toxoplasma will remain in your blood forever, and will protect you from toxoplasma in all repeated encounters with them), all your children will be protected from toxoplasma throughout pregnancy and 6- 12 months after it. HCG results are indeed interpreted in accordance with gestational age, and if the ultrasound specialist made a mistake and you are 5 weeks old, then everything is normal! The presence of IgG to CMV and HSV1 is only evidence that you, like most adults, are a lifelong carrier of the herpes simplex and CMV viruses. In itself, carriage of these viruses is not dangerous, does not cause harm, and does not require treatment. Treatment may only be required if they are activated. You are not familiar with the rubella virus at all. Of all of the above, the only thing that worries me is the presence of IgG to the early antigens of the Epstein-Barr virus, because in the presence of IgG to the nuclear antigen of the Epstein-Barr virus and negative IgM to the capsid antigen of the Epstein-Barr virus, it may indicate the presence of late primary EBV infection. It is better for you to go to an in-person appointment with an infectious disease specialist. Be healthy!

Lera asks:

Hello. September 28, 2010 I had my last period, ending on 10/02. until 13.10. used interrupted coitus daily, from 19.-21.10. brown daub (can't be called anything else) very little on daily pads. 21.10. I went to an appointment with a gynecologist, she looked, she said her period would soon be due to regular sexual activity, and she took a PCR test for hidden infections in the uterus, although I told her that pregnancy was possible and the fertilized egg was implanting. I left for another city, and on the 11th day of delay (05.11.) positive test, I had an ultrasound (looked at from above) and the diagnosis was pregnancy 5 weeks 2 days (deformed fertilized egg, corpus luteum+), at an appointment with a gynecologist they advised me to definitely save it, because first pregnancy at 33 years old, group 3 negative, deformed fertilized egg - “that’s nothing to worry about”, Elevit and folic acid were prescribed, in addition, because I had a dry cough and she said I could take a decoction of sage with honey orally. I took it for 3 days, 3 times a day, the cough went away, I also had a severe headache for 2 days and I used Doctor MOM ointment. There were no signs of toxicosis during pregnancy, only increased appetite, sometimes evening nausea and frequent urination. I had regular sex life, but I was under nervous tension. The result of PCR tests is negative for all infections. 04.12. Upon arrival home, I decided to register at the medical center - my condition was good, there was no discharge. showed the previous tests, the gynecologist did not look, she immediately sent me for an ultrasound (transvaginally) - the diagnosis was a frozen pregnancy at 5-6 weeks without an embryo, a fertilized egg of an irregular oval shape. gave directions for cleaning. I turned to another gynecologist (the one who took my test for skr.inf (PCR), she looked at the chair and said everything is fine with you, go for an ultrasound only at 12 weeks. but I decided to go for an ultrasound in 2 days without saying about my diagnosis, everything was confirmed - the diagnosis of a non-developing pregnancy at 7 weeks (uterine size length 68mm, width 60mm, p/z 53mm, fertilized egg 33x26mm of irregular shape, right ovary 29x13mm, left 33x20mm with the presence of a single follicular cavity size 17x12mm , the embryo and yellow could not be visualized, the fibroid (for the first time) of a subserous form on the posterior wall of the uterus was 18x18 mm). was, they injected cefazalin, oxytocin, calcium gluconate, vitamins B1, B6, on the second day I started taking Regulon, they were severe pain, they said that it’s because of oxytocin that the uterus contracts; histology result - PREGNANCY (???), also tested for infections (ELISA) - result of chlamydia, ureplasmosis, toxoplasmosis neg, herpes simplex virus (1:5), cytomegalovirus (1:14) if I understand correctly (I am taking treatment ) . On the 13th I was discharged home (they advised me to take nettle and ciprolet) and immediately started bleeding + severe pain (once a large clot with white streaks came out) until the 21st, when I went for an ultrasound, and they diagnosed me with an incomplete abortion, and immediately had a second one manual cleaning. An hour later I went home, and the next day I went to an appointment because... The temperature was 37.3 (there was no pain or discharge) and she prescribed ampicillin. Until today there was no discharge, but today there is severe pain and discharge like menstruation but not heavy. temperature 37-37.3. I only have an ultrasound on the 28th. I wrote in such detail because I have many questions that I cannot find answers to from my doctor. 1. Could the PCR analysis have affected a non-developing pregnancy, and is smear already bad? 2. Was it possible to prescribe treatment for a deformed ovum; could fibroids affect the deformation? 3. Could it have been affected by taking sage and the doctor as a mom, nervous tension, regular sex life, or the fact that the pregnancy occurred as a result of PPA (the latter is absurd in my opinion)? 4. Myoma and cytomegalovirus, given their size (the doctor said that this is possible reasons)? 5. What does the histology result mean? 6. How will it affect the fact that immunoglobulin was not administered (father of a 3+ child)? 7. It’s normal that now on the 5th day I started having discharge and pain after repeated cleaning, what is the likelihood that they didn’t clean it enough again and how many days can the discharge last? 8. How will Regulon affect myoma (I didn’t want to take it, but the doctor insisted on regulating menstruation)?9. The due date at the first ultrasound was determined by obstetrics, although they should have looked at the size of the fetal egg and how is it without an embryo, what’s wrong with the left ovary? 10. When should I start undergoing examination to begin treatment? Please help me figure it out, I really hope for you. This was the first pregnancy, unexpected, but still desired. It was hard to come to terms with the diagnosis. I really want to give birth to a healthy baby. Thank you

Answers Klochko Elvira Dmitrievna:

Frozen pregnancy is more often due to genetic disorders. and unfortunately, nothing can be done. The doctors did everything correctly according to the protocol. Don't look for someone to blame. take Regulon for 1 year, since you are not recommended to become pregnant for 1 year. There was no need to do immunoglobulin - since antibodies in the fetus are formed by 12 weeks of pregnancy, but your pregnancy stopped at 5-6 weeks.

Anna asks:

Good afternoon I ask for your help in my incomprehensible situation:
A week ago I was diagnosed with a frozen pregnancy (5-6 weeks). They cleaned it (in the hospital they put in a drip 5 times (antibiotics - Metrogyl and... I don’t remember the second). Last year my husband and I had a full examination at the Central Medical Center, they found only ureaplama, which we treated. There was early stage dysplasia, also last year after After a long and expensive treatment of ureaplasma, they did a laser. After that, everything was ok.
As soon as I suspected pregnancy (tests, hCG), my doctor took a smear and said that the tests showed everything was clear.
After cleaning the ZB, the doctors gave a referral to DILU for TORCH blood infections. RESULTS: Herpes type 1 and 2 IgM - 0.4 (1.25 positive), in general, I have had herpes constantly since childhood (as far as I understand, the M titer simply did not show an exacerbation, because it did not exist at that time, G would show antibodies?). Rubella IgM - negative, Toxoplasma IgM - negative, cytomegalovirus IgM - negative, Chlamydia IgG - positive 2.1 at =1.0 - positive. HPV types 6 and 11 - not detected. I decided to repeat the tests for chlamydia and do the same with my husband. This time we went together to Sinevo. They wanted to give both a smear and blood, but they didn’t take a smear from me (because I told them that I was given antibiotics, they said that there was no point in taking a smear within 2 weeks, it wouldn’t show anything). So I donated blood, and my husband gave a smear and blood. Blood IgM, IgG (IgA for some reason does not do either Dil or Sinevo). MY RESULTS: IgG to Chl.trachomatis - 14.87 R 1.1 positive, IgM 0.04 R 1.1 - positive. HUSBAND: IgG -13.31 (POSITIVE), IgM - 0.03 (negative), PCR - not detected.
I have never been sick with chlamydia, but my husband was sick about 8 years ago, according to him (we have been married for 3 years).
We called the doctor asking for an interpretation of the tests, the doctor says that we don’t have chlamydia now, there are only indicators of a previous infection. For the husband - ok, of course, he was sick and was treated and supposedly recovered. Where did I get these antibodies from? It turns out that with these results, I definitely have chlamydia? Could it be that IgM is now negative due to the instilled antibiotics after cleaning? But I didn’t treat him purposefully... Why then was nothing found in my husband’s smear? Could he have infected me (maybe he was undertreated during that illness)? I want to take a PCR test as soon as possible, how long should I wait after antibiotics? Or maybe it’s better to take a “cultural sowing” for 100% certainty? True, I don’t know where this can be done and how much it costs. Do I need to take my husband to another laboratory to check the results? Could he have a false negative PCR result? Please help me figure it out, my head is already spinning. We have six months for all treatments, because... We really want children, we were allowed to get pregnant after 6 months. I was also prescribed to drink Logest from the 1st day of my period after this cleansing, I’m afraid it’s hormones, it will suddenly blow me away from them. As far as I know, OK is prescribed after a special blood test, they didn’t do this to me... I still think all the time about the causes of ST, when I didn’t know that I was pregnant, I had a very strong stress, a couple of quarrels with hysterics - could the fetus freeze due to the nervous breakdown I suffered? Is this possible? I also have elevated testosterone, could this be the cause of ST? Thank you in advance for your answers, sorry for the slightly confusing questions.

Answers Consultant at the medical laboratory "Sinevo Ukraine":

Good afternoon, Anna! To reliably understand the situation with Torch infections, checking only IgM levels for its pathogens is not enough. Acute-phase antibodies should be checked only during pregnancy if data on IgG to these pathogens are known in advance. So, first you need to conduct a batch study of IgG for HSV ½, CMV, Toxoplasma and rubella virus. With the results of these tests, be sure to contact us for a second consultation, I will explain what needs to be done next. Or, as an option, you can, without wasting time, immediately after receiving the results of this study, conduct additional blood tests using ELISA for IgG avidity to pathogens, the IgG result for which will be positive. And it will be necessary to conduct a PCR study on them. I provide a list of tests for all pathogens, and you can choose for yourself what you need from it. So, you need to conduct a PCR test of blood (Toxoplasma, CMV, HSV ½), urine (Toxoplasma and CMV), saliva (CMV) for the DNA of pathogens. With IgG, avidity and DNA results, be sure to contact us for a second consultation. Now about chlamydia. There is no need to rush into research. Wait 4 weeks after finishing the course of antibiotic therapy, then go back to SYNEVO (this is important, as it will allow you to track the dynamics of antibodies) and repeat the blood test there for IgG, IgM for chlamydia using the ELISA method, in addition, conduct a PCR test for chlamydia DNA. Contact me again with the results and we’ll sort it out. For now, there is no point in blaming or touching your husband. Moreover, you could have had chlamydia and not know it. Yes, and pregnancy is so early could indeed be interrupted due to stress or due to a spontaneous genetic breakdown. Be healthy!

Ekaterina asks:

Hello. I am 28 years old. I had my first pregnancy at 22 years old. Immediately after conception, I caught a cold, had a severe cough and fever. The gestational age at the last menstrual period was 7 weeks. Did they say Anembryonia on the ultrasound? Later bleeding began and there was nothing left to save. They performed a curettage and told me to undergo examination and under no circumstances become pregnant for six months. My husband and I visited geneticists, and no pathologies were identified. Both have the first positive blood group and everything else is fine. The endocrinologist also says everything is normal. The gynecologist said that apparently a cold in the first trimester of pregnancy could affect development and this contributed to the fading. Half a year later I found myself pregnant again. I caught a cold again in the first month. The temperature was a low 37.2, but apparently that was enough. The pregnancy froze at about 9 weeks, it was not possible to save it, they scraped it out again. During and after pregnancy, I underwent numerous tests for TORC infections. Cardiolipin was questionable, Ig M+A+G 1.9. Cytomegalovirus and chlamydia were positive and after grueling treatment with antibiotics everything returned to normal. I spent most of my time being treated by an immunologist. I was prescribed ampoules and many tablets. This time I took care of my health for a whole year. During pregnancy, I took 2 tablets of Duphaston. I was in storage from 7 to 9 weeks. Then everything went great and I gave birth to a girl. Now I find myself in a situation again. I decided after a successful birth everything would go as expected. I wasn't sick, I felt great. I took duphaston, folic acid, and vitamins again. But the gynecologist at 9 weeks. I saw only 6-7. Ultrasound: gestational age according to PM 9 n.3d. The embryo corresponds to a pregnancy of 6 weeks. 3 days. Cardiac activity is not determined. Conclusion: Frozen pregnancy. Retrochorial hematoma. I went through another week and had another ultrasound. And, unfortunately, the third curettage. Doctors say that in our city you should not trust the results of histology (small city, no necessary equipment). To these three definitely missed pregnancies, you can add a couple more inaccurate ones, when the test showed pregnancy, but after a couple of weeks everything ended spontaneously, even without a trip to the gynecologist. Please answer, what should I do now? Is it possible to do a repeat histology analysis and is it necessary? Will this show the reason for not carrying? And if so, which laboratory should I contact? What tests should I undergo now? Do I need to take TORC again? Do I have a chance to give birth again, because I read they are not great?

Pregnancy tests are a common way to find out about an interesting situation. Almost every woman used this invention. But there are situations when tests show incorrect results.

Does the test show a frozen pregnancy?

Pregnancy is a difficult process. Some people get pregnant on the first try, others have been trying for many years but are unable to conceive. Of course, from the first days of the delay, women try to find out their situation. But the test may not always show the correct result.

What is a frozen pregnancy

Frozen pregnancy is the intrauterine death of the fetus and the complete cessation of its development. More often, the pathology occurs in the first trimester and is characterized by the absence of toxicosis and primary signs of pregnancy, bleeding and pain in the lower abdomen. In the second trimester, the phenomenon occurs, the cessation of movements and heartbeats is noted, the condition is determined using ultrasound examination. In the third trimester, such a process is also possible. That is why it is important to visit a doctor in a timely manner and check the child’s condition.

Determination by pregnancy test

At the first symptoms of pregnancy, most women resort to a conventional test to clarify the situation.


There are several types of tests:

  • test strips are paper products with markings;
  • tablet - a plastic tablet with two windows and a pipette;
  • jet - cassettes are placed under a stream of urine;
  • digital (electronic) – new generation products with the highest possible accuracy.

All tests are based on the definition hCG level, for a woman in an interesting position, it is higher.

Will it be positive?

The test will show a positive result if the embryo stopped developing a couple of days ago. For the reason that it reacts to the hormone hCG in the blood, produced during the growth and formation of the fetus. During a frozen pregnancy, this hormone remains in the blood for some time, gradually decreasing. Therefore, in the early stages, the test may show two stripes within two to three days after the death of the embryo.

When will it be negative-positive?

It often happens that in the process of determining her position, a woman sees a fuzzy result: one bright stripe, and the other barely visible. This indicator indicates either that the pregnancy is too short, or that it is frozen.

HCG level in in this case too small for the sensitivity of the test. Also, such a result may indicate a defective product. Therefore, in this case, it is better to immediately consult a doctor, send blood and undergo an ultrasound procedure.

What will show in the early stages

Most tests determine pregnancy 12-14 days after the delay, when the embryo begins to actively develop and the membrane produces a hormone. Some modern products are able to detect an interesting position, literally on the 7-8th day of conception.

Sometimes fetal death occurs in the very early stages, so most often the test shows a negative result because the hCG level is extremely low. If this happened in the middle of the first trimester, then it is possible that during the first two or three days, the result will be positive, because the amount of the hormone is higher than that of a woman in her normal state. It gradually decreases, and then the test will show one strip.

You need to prepare for the procedure, pour the test material into a clean container, and lower the test. It must be done in the morning; before doing this, avoid taking medications, they can distort the result.

Does the sensitivity of the test play a role in the determination results?

Tests have different degrees of perception of hCG, this affects the result. The higher the sensitivity, the greater the chances of detecting pregnancy in the earliest stages.

Therefore, if a woman wants to find out whether she is pregnant even before the delay occurs, then she needs to purchase a product with the lowest mIU/ml indicator on the package.

Tests are available with sensitivity mIU/ml:

Accordingly, the most accurate products are priced above average.

Dynamics of test behavior


When a pregnancy is planned, the woman, of course, expects that there will be a delay and positive fertilization will occur. You can’t wait to find out the results, so you can resort to a highly sensitive test. Such a product can detect pregnancy within the first week.

In case of normal delay, when there is a suspicion of conception, it is also more convenient to use a quick determination. Conventional tests show a positive result already on the twelfth, fourteenth day after conception.

The procedure should be carried out in the morning and preferably on an empty stomach. Test strips drop material, literally for a minute: either one strip or two. Electronic tests show whether you are pregnant or not.

The following factors may influence a false indicator:

  • incorrect timing;
  • errors in dough storage;
  • individual characteristics of a woman’s body;
  • A pregnancy test can show pregnancy within a couple of months after birth, because hCG persists;
  • taking certain medications, especially diuretics;
  • ovarian tumors;
  • expired product shelf life.


If the rules are followed, the test results are reliable. The only thing they don't reveal is ectopic pregnancy and cannot show the exact death of the fetus.

When planning a pregnancy or if there is a delay, the most reliable and quick way determine the exact position - donate blood for hCG and contact a gynecologist for an ultrasound. Tests as an alternative are quite suitable. They are easy to use, affordable and quickly show results. But unfortunately, it is impossible to find out about the course of pregnancy and the position of the fetus.

In any case, you need to undergo an examination to make sure that everything is fine with the health and the embryo, in case of a positive conception. And for nine months, carefully monitor the child’s development in order to learn about any changes in time.

Fetal freezing is a rare occurrence if future mom takes care of pregnancy healthy baby. The small heart of the embryo stops beating for unknown reasons; a genetic or hereditary factor or physiological pathologies during pregnancy are possible. But in the early stages, will the test show a frozen pregnancy? Some women claim that these pathologies are diagnosed at home - different levels of the “pregnancy hormone” are noticeable. How to identify one of the manifestations of spontaneous abortion at home?

What is important to know about frozen pregnancy

Terminating a pregnancy by any means is a tragedy. It takes a long time for a woman to recover from shock and self-flagellation - what’s wrong?! Abortion doesn't improve your mood either. Fetal fading can occur at any stage, in this case doctors summarize:
  • spontaneous miscarriage;
  • spontaneous abortion;
  • frozen pregnancy.
It is difficult to suspect something is wrong until bloody discharge from the vagina begins. But this is the main factor showing that it’s time to sound the alarm and rush to antenatal clinic. Do not flatter yourself if the pregnancy is frozen - the test shows “two lines”; most likely, there was the same result before.

A fetus frozen in the uterus poses a danger to your life. The necrotic process begins in a dead body; in other words, it is already beginning to decompose in the uterus. A miscarriage is a natural opportunity to “shed ballast,” which is life-threatening. You cannot lead to serious complications by postponing a visit to the gynecologist.

It’s difficult to name good reasons, but most of our women are not “friends” with a women’s doctor. Many people prefer diagnosis and treatment pharmaceutical products, and if the fetus is frozen, the test will show pregnancy. The hCG level (or human chorionic gonadotropin secretion) remains high for some time, so the tests are still “streaky”.

Why does this happen if fertilization occurred without problems? The process of embryo development is influenced by several factors:

  1. Physiological or natural causes;
  2. Genetic (hereditary predisposition to miscarriages);
  3. Mechanical (blow to the stomach, heavy lifting or other impact);
  4. Toxic ( bad habits, the presence in the blood of toxic substances and drugs that are harmful to the fetus);
  5. Occult (negative impact on the intrauterine process through the power of thought or magical rituals).
As a result, in case of a frozen pregnancy, the test shows the norm, but there is a problem. It is impossible to independently identify the cause of fetal freezing, only hypothetically. One can have a different attitude towards science’s denial of generational curses and negative wishes that are not confirmed by medical practice. Women's forums are replete with evidence of influence from people who do not want to have a child. These could be envious people, mother-in-law or relatives with inheritance claims.
Attention: The only way for tests to indicate a frozen fetus is to check hCG dynamics. Tests will have to be purchased daily and the indicators noted. They will decline if the embryo has lost its viability! To do this, use only those indicators that show the level of “pregnancy hormone”.

Risk groups for frozen pregnancy

Alas, sad women's statistics show that up to 10% of desired pregnancies will not end in the successful birth of a baby; in mature women, up to half of the cases. Not to mention abortion activities and careless attitude towards one’s health. The risk of developing pathologies increases with age, but it is already clear whether the test will show a frozen pregnancy, and what will happen if you do not rush to remove the consequences.

Risk statistics often include women who have had a series of abortions during their first pregnancy and subsequent conceptions. Girls who have been taking oral contraceptives for a long time may have problems. The body “out of habit” can reject the fertilized egg. If the fetus is frozen, a weak test will not show early pregnancy.

Rejection often occurs due to a conflict of Rh factors. For example, if the mother is Rh positive and the father is Rh negative or vice versa. In reality, young people are in no hurry to learn such “little things” and do not know about important things.

It happens when the expectant mother cannot say for sure who the father of the unborn baby is, for example, if she is promiscuous or dates several men at the same time, having sexual intercourse. Such frivolous ladies put themselves at risk, not thinking about what the test shows during a frozen pregnancy - they do not use them.

Important to know: The 8th week of pregnancy is considered the key moment; this is the most dangerous period in the development of the fetus - the most important organs begin to form.

The risk does not depend on how many pregnancies there were before, the first or the fifth; sometimes women themselves do not know for sure if there were spontaneous failures in the early stages. The “8 weeks” stage is too susceptible to teratogenic influences, the likelihood of pathologies and fading increases.

In the early stages, the risk is greatest, at this time frozen pregnancies occur more often, what does a pregnancy test show? Doesn't say anything or signals a weakly positive "striped" result. But it needs to be compared with previous testing.

The main risk groups for frozen pregnancy are:

  • Women who have had multiple consecutive abortions;
  • “old-born” (after 30 years), young mothers and “first-born”;
  • survivors of ectopic pregnancy and other pathologies;
  • ladies with hormonal imbalances, as well as severe obesity, diabetes and other severe forms of metabolic disorders in the body;
  • girls of the “youthful type”, with abnormalities of the reproductive organs and with an undeveloped “childish” uterus.
Doctors call this sad fact differently:
  1. Up to 28 obstetric weeks– called a frozen or failed pregnancy, as well as a spontaneous (involuntary) miscarriage.
  2. More than 28 weeks after conception – antenatal fetal death.
Fetal freezing in the early stages is difficult to determine, so it is recommended to carefully monitor changes in the new “position”. For every woman at risk during a frozen pregnancy and at home, it is important to monitor what the test shows in the early stages. In each case, it is important to follow all medical recommendations and see your doctor.
Important: If you are offered to go to a gynecologist for preservation, you should not refuse!

What are the signs of a frozen pregnancy?

You can’t look inside yourself - the independent possibility of determining the fading of the fertilized egg is minimal. Without medical examination cannot be avoided, and a lot depends on the timing. It happens that when everything seems to be fine, suddenly an ultrasound records the immobility of the embryo. A laboratory blood test shows a low hCG level, although it was high before and is normal.

It is difficult to understand in the early stages what is wrong with pregnancy, especially if it is the first. Let's figure it out if the pregnancy is frozen - what will the ultra-sensitive test show? For example, the hCG was 1650 units, after a few days the regular detector “does not streak”, but the electronic one displays a figure almost half as much.

The fertilized egg travels through the reproductive organs, but it is so small that the expectant mother is not able to feel it. The end of the journey of the fertilized egg is the lining of the uterus, the embryo is implanted for further development. But could he fail to gain a foothold? In all likelihood, yes. Where does the egg go then? Most likely, it dies, then it should erupt from the uterus with slight bleeding. This is possible after stress.

If you listen to the changes in your body, you cannot help but notice deviations. When few days have passed, the test does not always show a frozen pregnancy. For example, when a spontaneous miscarriage occurred, and the uterus cleared itself. The woman perceives this as a delay, “and now, finally, menstruation!” But it was a pathological pregnancy that did not reach its logical conclusion.

And hormonal levels must be checked, plus measurements basal temperature to identify abnormalities after days of ovulation. In the doctor’s office, you should discuss all your doubts, take all the necessary tests and show your temperature marks. In the 1st trimester, it normally remains at a level of 37.1-37.3°C. If your test shows a decrease in hCG, it means that the pregnancy has stopped.

Also, if in the 1st trimester a decrease in basal temperature is recorded, progesterone (the hormone responsible for pregnancy) drops, the doctor will draw the appropriate conclusions and decide what to do next. After a series of “delays”, which can be perceived as irregular periods, it is difficult to wait for a full pregnancy. At home, if the pregnancy is frozen, we know what the test will show - the hCG level will fall.

There are other reasons for serious concern:

  1. There are no sensations accompanying pregnancy, plus sanguineous discharge or bleeding, toxicosis suddenly stops (early term).
  2. Cramping spasms and pain in the lower abdomen, if a frozen pregnancy constrains the lower back, a temperature jump, the test will show changes in hormonal levels.
  3. During a hardware examination at the time of delivery, it is impossible to make a fetal cardiogram - the small heart has stopped beating.
  4. Colostrum and milk are released from the breast, which should appear when the uterus is “empty” (after the fetus is removed).
  5. The fetus stopped moving at a late stage.
There is no need to sound the alarm ahead of time, if there is one symptom, tests and ultrasound will show what is wrong with the embryo. Often, expectant mothers resort to antenatal clinics if an active baby “does not beat” in the stomach. There is a “Method of 10 movements”, the expectant mother can feel them from morning to 21:00. But it is quite possible that before this he was cramped, and now he lies down in a comfortable prenatal position - head down and just sleeping. Everything is fine!

If the pregnancy is frozen, what does the test show?

It is useful to monitor your condition with tests at home. This is not to confirm fertilization, but to see how the level of hCG in the urine increases or decreases. Will the test show a frozen pregnancy? We will already find out that yes. But the cheapest “striped girls’ friends” will not be suitable for this, only highly sensitive ones.

If the first electronic test gives an affirmative “pregnon” (pregnancy), and after a while, after the sudden cessation of toxicosis, it is already “non pregnon” (no pregnancy), consult a doctor immediately!

Advice: If there are prerequisites for pregnancy failure, ask the pharmacy for those sensitive test systems that show the level of hCG or its concentration in the urine. During fading, the level will drop daily, approaching zero.

Removing a frozen fetus is an unpleasant ending, but it is necessary to save the woman’s life (the decaying embryo is poisoned with cadaveric poison). Abortion is indicated in the early stages medications, in the later stage – stimulation of labor. If the frozen fetus is small, labor should be stimulated early; curettage (under anesthesia) is applicable.

Do not be afraid of these procedures; if you have a frozen pregnancy, you need to cleanse the body of the dead body. And the sooner the better. No matter how many women ask on forums “whether the test will show if there is a frozen pregnancy”, with an unpleasant answer from the indicator, medical intervention cannot be avoided. Next, treatment is recommended in order to stop inflammation after curettage and bring hormonal levels back to normal.

It is advisable to know the reason for the failed attempt at motherhood in order to draw the right conclusions - get treatment and treat the next fertilization more carefully. If this happens, do not despair and stop trying; modern medicine helps even in the most hopeless cases, including surrogacy. Serious approach for childbirth guarantees the full bearing of a healthy baby. Take a break from your worries and try again!

During a frozen pregnancy, fertilization of the egg occurs, but at a certain stage the development of the embryo stops. An empty fertilized egg can exist in the uterus for some time, after which it is rejected. Fading of pregnancy can happen both in very early and quite late stages. If this occurs at a period of more than 28 months, this pathology is already characterized as fetal death.

There can be many reasons for a frozen pregnancy. Most of them are associated with poor heredity, previous sexually transmitted diseases, and the use of medications or alcoholic beverages. The risk of developing this pathology increases with a woman's age.

Diagnosis is quite difficult. Only a specialist can do this. For more accurate diagnosis The most commonly used method is ultrasound. At the same time, there are signs that give reason to suspect the cessation of embryo development.

An alarming signal is a sudden cessation of toxicosis, a decrease in basal temperature, and bloody discharge from the genital tract may also appear.

What does the test show during a frozen pregnancy?

During a normal pregnancy, a standard home test should show 2 lines. This is a sign that fertilization has occurred, the embryo is developing and the body produces human chorionic gonadotropin. It is the increase in the concentration of hCG in the urine that underlies the principle of the test.

The concentration of the hormone in the urine increases every few days. The longer the pregnancy, the more reliable the test result should be.

When embryo development stops, the body stops producing a specific hormone, and its concentration in biological fluids begins to gradually decrease. The rate of decrease in concentration is individual for each case. It may depend on various reasons.

Immediately after embryonic development has stopped, the test will still show a positive result if the concentration of hCG in the urine was sufficient to determine pregnancy. If at the time of pregnancy the pregnancy was very short, after 2-3 days the test will show a negative result.

If embryonic development stops at a later stage, it takes time for the concentration of human chorionic gonadotropin to decrease enough for the test to show a negative result. In medical practice, there are cases when a rapid analysis gives a positive result even within a month after the death of the embryo and its rejection.

Experts assure that a positive test value cannot serve as a guarantee that the pregnancy is developing normally. If you experience any alarming symptoms, you should consult a doctor.

Frozen pregnancy is a terrible diagnosis, which is a consequence of pathological development of the fetus. Why and in what cases this happens – there is no clear answer. In some cases, the genetic factor becomes decisive; in other situations, the course of pregnancy is influenced by stress, physical impact, medication, etc.

Only a doctor guided by ultrasound data can make a diagnosis. Other diagnostic methods may not be effective long after the incident.

What does the test show during a frozen pregnancy?

When the development of the embryo stops at a certain stage, the empty fertilized egg remains in the uterine cavity for some time. Rejection may occur after a week or two, or not at all.

There are many reasons for this condition to occur.

  • bad heredity
  • venereal diseases suffered in the past
  • use of illegal medications, alcoholic beverages or drugs during pregnancy
  • first pregnancy in adulthood

With a properly developing pregnancy, a regular home test should show two lines. This is a sign that fertilization has occurred, the development of the embryo and the body’s production of special hCG hormone, which underlies the operation of the express test. The constant increase in hormone concentration makes home testing more and more reliable every day. But when its production stops, the concentration of hCG in a woman’s biological fluids begins to decrease. This happens gradually, and it can take quite a long time for the element to completely disappear.

Immediately after the development processes are suspended, the test will show a positive result, especially if the pregnancy has already lasted several weeks. If at the time of the incident the period was too short (3-6 weeks), after a day or two only one strip will appear in a special window.

If the fetus stops developing late in pregnancy, it will take a long time for the pregnancy hormone to leave the woman’s body. Only after the hCG level has decreased can a negative test result be obtained. The practice of obstetricians shows that in individual cases, an express test can show two stripes for another month after the death of the embryo, its rejection and gynecological cleansing.

Doctors strongly recommend that women regularly visit the clinic during pregnancy so that a specialist can assess the general condition of the mother and her unborn child, monitor the growth process of the embryo (and then the fetus), conduct the necessary studies, and make recommendations. If any alarming signs occur, you should immediately consult a doctor, because the home test is not an indicator of normal intrauterine development.
