1st miscarriage - results from tissue testing - need advice!

[MilsCookie]

Hi all,

I am currently travelling and two weeks ago I had my 12 week scan in Vietnam to be told my baby had stopped growing around 7/8 weeks. I was and still am utterly heartbroken and ended up having an ERPC after medical management tablets didn’t work.

As I was in a private international hospital they offered to do tissue testing to see what went wrong. Even though it was my 1st miscarriage I was desperate to find out what happened.

The results came back today in translated Vietnamese so hard to make sense of it. Can anyone help shed some light on what this might mean for my fertility and future pregnancies?

Many thanks in advance:

I’m not an expert but (as the veteran of several miscarriages) it looks to me like they were examining the placental/womb tissue for evidence of gestational trophoblastic disease - eg a molar pregnancy. They didn’t find evidence of this as it says those cells are normal.

There is no reference to fetal cells/fetal karotyping, so it doesn’t look like they were able to check for any chromosome issue which might explain the miscarriage.

Really sorry for your loss

Thank you so much for your reply @LondonUnited and I’m really sorry to hear of your losses 💐.

I’m pleased that there were no abnormal cells found and that it wasn’t a molar pregnancy, but still feel a bit in the dark about the ‘placental villi is fibrosis, degenerative’ part. And any idea what causes that? I know that most miscarriages can’t be explained so preparing myself to accept that I’ll never know why it happened. Thank you again for replying 😘
