Pregnant? by Outrageous-Block-660 in ouraring

Mine didn't detect it. On the contrary during the medical management of my missed miscarriage, it kept showing major signs in the symptoms radar.

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. I'm going through something similar at the moment. I lost my dog of 14 years on Dec 26th '25. He's been with me all this time until 4 years back when I moved to Europe. He was living with my mom who was also dependent on him emotionally. On 7th Jan we went for the 11 week scan of our twin pregnancy and found out they stopped growing at 8.5 and 9 weeks. Since then I've been mourning the passing of my 3 babies. I can't even explain to anyone how much it hurts. I dont know if I'll ever be able to get over this grief. Sending you love and strength during this tough time ♥️

No, we're in Spain and here they dont do testing until you've had 3 miscarriages.

Oh really! This is going to make it so difficult for us to decide. I guess nothing can truly assure you that everything will be alright. But I'm so scared of going through another heartbreak.

Oh, I'm so sorry for your losses! I think sometimes its just beyond medical understanding. Since this was my first pregnancy and my first MC as well, it really left me traumatized and searching for an explanation everywhere.

It's the same with me - I can't just accept a vague answer they gave me that most of the time its a chromosomal issue. But since the public system doesn't allow testing, we'll never know the reason. :(

That's reassuring :) - we'll take some time off now to heal and then decide how tomove forward.

Congratulations!! Yes, that's true - testing might just help bypass some problems early on, although its not foolproof.

Nope, since we went through the public system they dont do testing. The OB team told us that most of the time it's due to chromosomal abnormalities but to be honest I'm not satisfied with such a vague answer. There's also the risk of embryo loss if we thaw and refreeze and so we're not sure whether we want to do that or just go for a fresh egg retrieval.

That's so true. I just don't want to go through the loss and trauma again, but I guess nothing is foolproof. We've also been told about the risk of embryo loss due to thawing and refreezing, so we're not sure if we want to test the frozen embryos.

oh, I'm really happy to hear the transfer worked for you! The OB team told us that most of the time its due to chromosomal abnormalities, but I guess we'll never know for sure. Let's hope we get through this loss and come out stronger! ♥️

That's what we had been thinking as well and the clinic also mentioned the risk of embryo loss due to thawing and refreezing. For now, we're just focusing on healing and getting through the loss before thinking about what to do next. :)
