IVF Pregnancy

IVF Pregnancy

Pregnancy
Ectopic pregnancies, chemical pregnancies and miscarriages seem to be more frequent in women doing IVF. But the fact is that an IVF pregnancy allows women to find out if they are pregnant much sooner than a normal pregnancy; therefore, the bad news is known. The majority of women, who do not need assistance to get pregnant, never know they are pregnant and never know there is a problem.
If you use a HPT too early, the HCG injection could cause a false positive. See HPT HCG levels for the most accurate tests.

Ectopic Pregnancy

This is a pregnancy that occurs in the fallopian tubes but shows as positive on a pregnancy test. It only occurs about 3% of the time and either a shot of methotrexate or (late in the pregnancy) laproscopic surgery is required.to terminate. An ectopic pregnancy can be detected from vaginal bleeding or throbbing pain usually on one side of your lower abdomen

Chemical Pregnancy

This is a very early miscarriage. In many cases, a positive pregnancy was achieved before the woman's period was due but a miscarriage occurred before a heartbeat was able to be seen on an ultrasound. Most chemical pregnancies are due to chromosomal problems. Other possible causes are inadequate uterine lining, uterine abnormalities both congenital or acquired like fibroids, low hormone levels, luteal phase defect or certain infections.

Miscarriage

This is the loss of a pregnancy before 24 weeks, with most miscarriages actually occurring during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. It affects one in every eight women. Studies show that most miscarriages are a result of either chromosome abnormalities or genetic problems or because of body structure problems. Older women and women who smoke are at a higher risk for miscarriage.
