Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I am a mother of two kids. My last period was before 69 days. I am worried and I took a urine pregnancy test before 20 days. It showed me a positive result. I have my usual pregnancy symptoms. Last week, I had some spotting in chocolate color. I took my ultrasound before five days. The doctor told me that the baby is fine. But still, my spotting has not stopped and so I decided to consult another doctor. I took my second ultrasound before two days and I was able to see only an empty sac. How is this possible? The doctor suggested me to come after two weeks for taking another scan.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern. You may have a missed miscarriage. This occurs due to defective embryogenesis. Due to your age, your ovum may have meiotic dysfunction causing multiplication errors. Just wait for a week and repeat your ultrasound scan.
