What could be the reason for a miscarriage at eight weeks?

Question

Hi doctor,

I had a miscarriage at eight weeks. I was having mild cramps on the left side of my abdomen. I visited a doctor, and she gave me Bigspas-P, Hifolate, and Doxinate tablets. From the fifth week, I had cramps in my left leg and noticed some dark brown clots. I visited my doctor who said everything was normal, including the heart rate. She gave me Dydrogesterone tablets two times a day. But it did not stop. She then gave me five injections, after which it stopped. However, it restarted again after a few days. She then said that the baby's heartbeat had stopped and was not growing. I want to know the reason behind this. What should be done to have a healthy pregnancy in the future? Please help.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concern.

Most first-trimester miscarriages can be due to genetic abnormality (you had missed a miscarriage). To know the exact cause, I suggest doing a chromosomal analysis. However, to reduce the risk of early pregnancy failure, you to be on Hifolate (Methylcobalamin IP, L-Methylfolate Calcium, Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate), Ecosprin (anti-platelet), and Vitamin D. I recommend starting this about two to three months before pregnancy. You would also need to be on Progesterone (hormone supplement), as advised by your doctor. This can help to reduce the risk of pregnancy loss.

I hope this information helps provide some insight into your symptoms.

Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any further questions or concerns.

Thank you.
