I got my period but found out I was pregnant

Generally speaking, pregnancy will not occur during menstruation, but there are still many people who find out that they are pregnant during menstruation. This situation is medically known as biochemical pregnancy, which is also an abnormal pregnancy. The main causes of this problem include defective fertilized eggs, female ovarian corpus luteum insufficiency, or uterine hypoplasia. Here we will introduce you to the relevant knowledge about biochemical pregnancy!

1. Introduction to biochemical pregnancy

Biochemical pregnancy refers to the combination of sperm and egg. Generally, human chorionic gonadotropin will be secreted seven days after the combination of sperm and egg. After another seven days, it can be detected with an early pregnancy test. Often the sperm and egg have combined and secreted, but they must combine to form a fertilized egg, and the fertilized egg must return to the uterus to implant. Biochemical pregnancy means that the sperm and egg have combined, but have not returned to the uterus to implant, or have returned but not implanted. This is called biochemical pregnancy.

2. The main causes of biochemical pregnancy

What are the causes of biochemical abortion and factors that affect the implantation of fertilized eggs:

1. The fertilized egg itself is defective; (check the chromosomes of both parties)

2. Poor ovarian corpus luteum function, insufficient progesterone secretion, abnormal endometrium, affecting the implantation of the fertilized egg; (check six hormone items)

3. Uterine factors: uterine hypoplasia, uterine submucosal fibroids, endometrial polyps, intrauterine adhesions, endometrial tuberculosis, etc. affect the implantation of the fertilized egg; (hysteroscopy)

4. Immune factors: Research on immune factors in recent years has shown that there are two immune conditions that affect conception. a Alloimmunity: sperm, seminal plasma or fertilized egg are antigenic substances. After being absorbed by the vaginal and uterine epithelium, they produce antibody substances through immune reaction, which prevents sperm and egg from combining or fertilized egg from implanting; b Autoimmunity: It is believed that there are zona pellucida autoantibodies in the serum of infertile women, which react with the zona pellucida to prevent sperm from penetrating the egg, thus preventing fertilization; (blood test to check immune antibodies and blocking antibodies)

5. TCM treatment: If the above tests are normal, you need to see if TCM can find any problems. (TCM treatment)

6. Excessive mental stress, especially severe anxiety due to failure to conceive, and excessive psychological pressure. (Relax)

3. Characteristics of biochemical pregnancy

1. ZZY can detect a weak positive, but it is difficult to reach a positive, let alone a strong positive.

2. B-ultrasound cannot see the presence of a gestational sac in the uterus.

3. A very low blood HCG value only means that you are pregnant, but it cannot indicate whether implantation is successful.

4. Generally, spontaneous abortion will occur within 50 days. A grayish-white film will flow out.
