![]() Thank you to all of the amazing men and women who have shared with us their stories. We have a cloud of peace over us, knowing just that. A fetal heart rate below 90 beats per minutes is associated with a 86 miscarriage rate, and a fetal heart rate below 120 bpm is associated with an approximately 50 miscarriage rate. My doctor that performed my D&C told me his wife miscarried four times, and they still have three healthy babies. A fetal heart rate below 70 beats per minute around 6-8 weeks usually predicts a miscarriage. We have heard the most inspiring and also devastating stories. Joe and I have had the extreme pleasure of funding families to go through IVF through our foundation, HelpCureHD. He has brought light to EVERY moment of doubt or failure in our lives, and I know He won’t stop now. I have told God EVERY SINGLE step of the way that I trust Him with my whole heart. Hi8w 1d pregnant with my first & I didn’t realize I’d be so nervous about losing it during these first few weeksHad first ultrasound at 7w 4d and they could see everything & baby had a healthy heartbeat.We’re planning on telling our family and close friends at 10w, but we won’t hear the heartbeat. We then had a D&C surgery to remove the embryo. That is extremely hard to accept at first. Our embryo read healthy by the genetic testing reporting standards, but there is still a miscarriage rate of 5-10% in a PGD normal pregnancy. She explained that even with genetically tested embryos, there is still a very small chance that the embryo was not healthy. My placenta and uterus, and hormone levels were all high and ready to carry a baby. ![]() We were at a loss for words because the doctor told us there was nothing we could do. When we went to the doctor a week after seeing the heartbeat, the embryo had stopped growing. That is why you haven’t seen me working for the last month and a half. We had a successful transfer and made it to roughly 7 weeks pregnant. It was one of the most magical and emotional experiences we could have imagined. In such pregnancies, at least one follow-up scan in late first trimester is warranted.Joe and I went through our first IVF embryo transfer to get pregnant in May. When a slow embryonic heart rate is detected at 6.0-7.0 weeks, the likelihood of subsequent first-trimester demise remains elevated (approximately 25%) even if the heart rate is normal at follow-up. Pregnancies with a borderline heart rate early in pregnancy followed by a normal heart rate had a demise rate of 7.6% (nine of 118), which is similar to those with normal heart rates early in pregnancy followed by normal heart rates at follow-up (P =. This rate of demise was significantly higher than that of 7.2% (28 of 390) in pregnancies with a normal heart rate at 6.0-7.0 weeks and a normal heart rate by 8.0 weeks (P <.001, Fisher exact test). There were 59 pregnancies with a slow heart rate at 6.0-7.0 weeks and a normal heart rate at follow-up US by 8.0 weeks 15 (25.4%) resulted in first-trimester demise. The rates of first-trimester demise were 60.6% for pregnancies with slow heart rates at 6.0-7.0 weeks (188 of 310), 17.4% for those with borderline heart rates (103 of 593), and 9.1% for those with normal heart rates (186 of 2034). The Fisher exact test was used for all statistical comparisons. Pregnancies were excluded from the analysis if they were lost to follow-up before the end of first trimester. Ongoing pregnancy rate was 90.5 for those pregnancies having early fetal cardiac activity (odds ratio OR 66.5). The heart rate was classified as slow if it was fewer than 90 beats per minute prior to 6.3 weeks or fewer than 110 beats/min at 6.3-7.0 weeks, normal if it was 100 or more beats/min at less than 6.3 weeks or 120 or more beats/min at 6.3-7.0 weeks, or borderline if it was 90-99 beats/min prior to 6.3 weeks or 110-119 beats/min at 6.3-7.0 weeks. Singleton pregnancies with an embryonic heart rate measured on a 6.0-7.0-week US scan were identified. The study was Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act compliant. Institutional review board approval was granted informed consent was not required. To determine retrospectively the outcome of pregnancies in which the embryo has a slow heart rate at 6.0-7.0 weeks gestation and a normal heart rate at follow-up ultrasonography (US) by 8.0 weeks gestation.
