A blighted ovum is an abnormal intrauterine pregnancy. It mostly occurs from an embryo’s chromosomes abnormalities. Therefore, every woman can face this problem during pregnancy.
Aging or irregular diseases leads a greater risk of blighted ovum as an embryo is more likely to become abnormal when you are getting older. It doesn’t mean a blighted ovum has never comeback. If you have ever had this problem, you will have a chance to face it again. But a recurrent blighted ovum doesn’t happen frequently.
However, a blighted ovum is considered a pregnancy failure that causes miscarriage. The risk of 1 abortion in general woman is about 10-15%. But the risk of 2nd abortion is not much, less than 10%. So that you don’t need to be very concerned.
In conclusion, a blighted ovum can happen again but the chance of several recurrent pregnancy failures is uncommon if you are not too old or not having a congenital disease.

Frequent drinking and hangovers increase the risk of infertility
Frequent drinking and hangovers increase the risk ofinfertility
Frequent parties and hangovers can directly and indirectly affect your health, especially for those who are already planning to have children. This makes it even more difficult to have children!
Because frequent and large amounts of alcoholic beverages cause the hormones in the body to function abnormally.
What are the effects of drinking alcohol and hangovers?
In men >Abnormal testosterone production results in the body producing less sperm, poor quality sperm, and reduced fertilization ability.
In women >Abnormalities in the pituitary glands hormone system and hormones that control ovarian function result in no ovulation, abnormal uterine lining, and increased chances of premature birth or miscarriage.
It also reduces the absorption of vitamins and minerals, increasing the risk of malnutrition such as magnesium and potassium. It also comes with negative effects from a “hangover” such as insufficient sleep, restless sleep, headaches, dizziness, vomiting, dehydration, fatigue, etc. These are indirect negative effects that affect the body.
Therefore, drinking excessive amounts of liquor, beer, wine, or other alcoholic beverages is a cause of infertility and reduces the chances of having children by up to 50%.
If anyone is planning a pregnancy and still has problems controlling their alcohol consumption, you may need to consider consulting a mental health professional or medical professional to find a treatment plan.

When preparing to have a baby, should you eat more animal protein or plant protein?
When preparing to have a baby, should you eat more animal protein or plant protein?
“Protein” is important for people of all ages, and they will receive different benefits. It must be consumed in different amounts at different ages. Protein is easily found in animal products, such as meat, milk, eggs, and processed foods such as butter and cheese.
But for parents who want to start taking care of themselves to avoid infertility, they can begin by avoiding high-fat foods and trans fats, such as margarine, fried foods, and snacks, to control blood sugar levels and reduce the risk of diabetes.
So how should people who want to have children eat protein?
If you are preparing to have children, you should eat 1-1.5 grams of protein per body weight/day. Proteins that should be eaten include fish, eggs, chicken, beef, pork, etc.
Eating protein from animals should be done in moderation. Although the nutritional value of animal protein is high, fat, cholesterol, and the risk of various dangerous diseases are also increased.
Plant protein is low in saturated fat, has no cholesterol, is high in fiber, and has fewer calories than animal protein. They can be eaten together, but it is recommended to avoid plant proteins that have effects similar to female hormones, such as soybeans and processed soybean proteins because they can affect the uterus.
Eating protein with iron will help strengthen the uterus and also help produce quality eggs. In addition, eating green vegetables to increase folate and vitamin B helps accelerate ovulation, resulting in a good chance of pregnancy in the future.
