Experiencing multiple miscarriages can be both emotionally and physically challenging.
Recurrent miscarriage, also known as recurrent pregnancy loss, is typically defined as two or more consecutive pregnancy losses before 20 weeks’ gestation. While miscarriage is more common than many realise, recurrent miscarriage may point to underlying health concerns that require specialised care.
Recurrent pregnancy loss can be caused by several factors.
Chromosomal abnormalities in either parent or the foetus.
Uterine abnormalities such as fibroids or septum.
Conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or thyroid disorders.
Issues such as antiphospholipid syndrome or lupus.
Conditions like thrombophilia that affect blood flow to the placenta.
Smoking, alcohol consumption, or excessive weight can also play a role.
Every patient’s journey to parenthood is unique, and so is our diagnostic approach. This may include a comprehensive review of your medical and pregnancy history, blood tests to identify hormonal or autoimmune concerns, ultrasound imaging to assess uterine structure, and, if needed, genetic testing for both partners to rule out chromosomal issues.
Once a diagnosis is made, we develop a personalised treatment plan designed to address your specific circumstances, ensuring the best possible support and care at every step of your journey.
Guidance on maintaining a healthy weight, diet, and habits for optimal fertility.
Medications to manage hormonal or autoimmune disorders, or blood-thinning treatments for clotting disorders.
Corrective surgeries for uterine abnormalities, if required.
Options such as IVF with genetic screening may be recommended for certain cases.
The emotional toll of recurrent miscarriage can be overwhelming, and we understand the importance of addressing both the physical and emotional aspects of your care. In addition to medical support, you may benefit from personalised counselling services to help you process your experiences, whether through one-on-one sessions or group support. Fertility coaching is also available, offering guidance and reassurance from experienced specialists to provide hope and clarity as you navigate your next steps.
