How to distinguish hidden miscarriage from menstruation?

Hidden miscarriage is actually the biochemical pregnancy we often hear about. What is biochemical pregnancy? Simply put, when some women use early pregnancy test strips to test pregnancy, two lines clearly indicate that they are pregnant, but after a few days, they suddenly get their period. This situation is actually a sign of miscarriage. The occurrence of biochemical pregnancy will not have any impact on health and future pregnancies. So, how to distinguish biochemical pregnancy from menstruation?

Many people do not understand or have never heard of "biochemical pregnancy". Under normal circumstances, after the egg and sperm are fertilized in the fallopian tube, they will be transported to the uterine cavity by the fallopian tube. The embryo will implant in the uterine cavity and grow and develop until full-term labor and delivery. This whole process is called pregnancy. "Biochemical pregnancy" means that the sperm and egg have combined, but have not swam into the uterine cavity to implant, or have swam back and failed to implant successfully, which is called "hidden abortion." Generally, in the case of miscarriage within 5 weeks of pregnancy, HCG can be detected in the blood and it is higher than the normal value or the urine pregnancy test is positive, but the gestational sac cannot be seen on ultrasound examination. This is also called "subclinical miscarriage." Patients usually have no other symptoms, just like having menstruation, so they are often ignored. Many people don’t even know that the “baby” has visited.

There is almost no difference between biochemical pregnancy and normal menstruation, so there is no need to worry even if a biochemical pregnancy occurs. Because the pregnancy time is short, the impact on the uterus and endometrium is small and almost negligible, so no special care is required. As long as you check on time, when the HCG value drops to the normal value within 5, you can enter a new round of pregnancy preparation. If a biochemical pregnancy occurs without any reason, it can be ignored to avoid unnecessary psychological stress.

Women whose menstrual cycles are 28-35 days and who have experienced amenorrhea for more than 40 days but soon had spontaneous abortions can choose to go to the hospital with their husbands for relevant eugenics examinations, such as chromosome, gene, gynecological, and andrological examinations. In addition to individual diseases and immune problems that can cause fetal poor development, taking certain medications, fatigue, anxiety and stress during this period can also lead to biochemical pregnancy. Of course, the problem of the fertilized egg itself cannot be ruled out. This is a natural process of survival of the fittest. If the HCG value and progesterone value are not high and do not double, do not force the pregnancy to be preserved, because the embryo preserved may not be a healthy fetus.
