Hello,

I was recommended to you by a number of people. I have been pregnant 4 times, resulting in 3 children. Most recently, I got pregnant (via IVF) with our 4th, who was aCGH 24 chromosome tested, and we saw a heartbeat at 6 weeks and again at 7weeks. At 7 weeks I was diagnosed with a very large subchorionic hematoma (would have to ask for exact size - but much larger than the gestational sac, from what I saw myself on the ultrasound). I had had heavy bleeding on and off throughout the pregnancy, but was never advised bedrest. I was also on low dose aspirin, and metformin (had never taken this with previous pregnancies). I miscarried at 8 weeks, confirmed on ultrasound that there was a fetus but no longer a heartbeat. I had a D&C a few days later due to excessive bleeding.

The three pregnancies prior to this miscarriage, resulted in my 3 children. However, with all 3 of them, I had heavy bleeding between weeks 5-11, and was diagnosed with large SCH with each of the three pregnancies. I guess I was lucky that those pregnancies managed to progress.

We want to cycle again, but I am worried now that with 4 pregnancies and 4 large SCH that I just got lucky with my 3 children, and fear another miscarriage due to SCH. Do you know if there are any immunologic issues tied to SCH?

Thank you.

Yes SCH usually represent some form of impaltnation issue. They can be thromobphiilc or immune but all can be treated. You should fil out a consult form on the website and we can schedule a free 10 min chat to reveiw your case.
