What is recurrent miscarriage?
Losing a pregnancy more than once before the 20-week mark is considered recurrent miscarriage or early pregnancy loss. Miscarriages can happen for a myriad of reasons and are very common. However, that doesn’t make each individual experience any less emotionally painful. We know that you want answers and a clearer path forward, and we’re here to help.
Book NowHow Recurrent Miscarriage Evaluation and Treatment Works
We will begin by discussing and testing you for the most common potential causes of recurrent miscarriage:
Chromosomal or genetic abnormalities in one or both partners
Structural issues in the uterus such as fibroids, polyps, scar tissue, or a band of tissue called a septum
A hormonal deficiency such as progesterone which supports endometrial and placental development
Untreated medical conditions such as thyroid disease, diabetes, and immune system or blood-clotting issues
Drug and alcohol consumption as well as other dietary and lifestyle factors that can impact pregnancy
Many of these tests will involve bloodwork or an ultrasound. Your team will be there to keep you informed through the whole testing process and will be ready to talk about next steps once you have some answers.
While recurrent miscarriage is common, its treatment is highly personal. After testing your doctor will determine which treatments are best for your needs. There may only be one treatment needed or a layering of treatments to address underlying fertility issues.
Recurrent miscarriage treatments could include:
Hormone supplementation
Hysteroscopic surgery to alleviate structural issues in the uterus
If a chromosomal abnormality is found, you may be a candidate for IVF along with preimplantation genetic screening (PGS) to select chromosomally normal embryos to transfer
Regardless of whether the testing reveals the root cause of your recurrent miscarriages, we are here to carefully monitor and support your next pregnancy and help give you the best possible chance of carrying to term.
