Can embryonic development arrest be misdiagnosed?

In the early stages of pregnancy, fetal growth retardation and miscarriage are two topics that expectant mothers are more worried about. Especially after hearing many such examples around them, every time they go for a prenatal check-up, they are full of anxiety, fearing to hear some bad news. Therefore, when many doctors diagnose the fetus to be in remission, the first reaction of the expectant mother is definitely to feel unacceptable and wonder if the doctor has made a mistake. So, is it possible that fetal growth retardation is misdiagnosed? If the doctor determines that the fetus has grown, is it necessary to go to other areas for a follow-up check? Let me give you a brief introduction below.

Fetal growth retardation can be roughly divided into three situations. One is an empty sac, that is, only an empty gestational sac grows, but no fetal bud or fetal heartbeat grows out, or only a fetal bud or fetal heartbeat grows in the gestational sac, but no fetal heartbeat grows out. These two conditions are generally caused by problems with the quality of the test tube embryo. If the menstrual cycle is normal, the embryo bud and fetal heartbeat should be present around 50 days of pregnancy. If the menstrual cycle is irregular or the embryo implants late during ovulation, it can also be combined with blood hcg for comprehensive analysis. For example, if hcg doubles on the second day, you can continue to observe. If hcg has decreased, it means that the fetus has stopped developing.

There is also a type of fetal arrest where the fetal heartbeat was found before, but there was no fetal heartbeat when checked again. If it is not a problem with the doctor's personal experience, if this situation occurs, it can be 100% determined to be fetal arrest. If you really don't believe it, you can go to another hospital for a check-up. This kind of waiting is meaningless. If you wait any longer, the fetal heartbeat will not appear again. It is better to clear it up as soon as possible.

Therefore, if the fetal bud, fetal heartbeat or fetal heartbeat have not yet grown, it cannot be immediately determined that the fetus has stopped growing. The diagnosis may be caused by irregular menstrual cycle, which is prone to misdiagnosis. At this time, it is necessary to combine the blood hcg value for further observation. If the fetal growth retardation is discovered after the fetal heartbeat, then the result is almost 100% unlikely to be misdiagnosed.
