What is a recurrent miscarriage?
A pregnancy loss is usually heartbreaking, not to mention if you have to bear the pain more than one time. Working with a fertility expert can help you discover the cause and find a solution.
Recurrent miscarriage is when you experience more than two pregnancy losses within a short period. However, it is common for women to have miscarriages and still have healthy pregnancies later.
A miscarriage can be a difficult issue to deal with emotionally and psychologically. Sometimes finding the answers is the only way Dr. Chang can help you understand the problem better.
Thankfully, it’s evident that you can still conceive and have a baby even after having more than three miscarriages or when your provider cannot define the cause.
Though there are usually no known causes of many recurrent miscarriages cases, the problem is more common than you know.
What causes recurrent miscarriages?
Some of the factors that lead to recurrent miscarriages are uterus or cervix problems, genetic issues, and blood clotting disease.
At Noble Fertility Center, Dr. Chang offers comprehensive testing for the known causes of miscarriage, including:
Genetic problems
Genetic issues from either the mother or the partner may become a problem to the baby after inheriting them, leading to a miscarriage. According to fertility experts, about 2 to 5% of recurrent miscarriages result from chromosomal issues.
Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS)
It leads to abnormal blood clotting, which affects pregnancy—your provider checks for the presence of antiphospholipid in your blood to evaluate whether you have the APS. APS contributes significantly to many recurrent miscarriages.
Thrombophilia
Thrombophilia increases the chances of blood clotting that puts you at risk of recurrent miscarriage.
Polycystic ovaries and hormone imbalance
It interferes with your hormone levels, which can lead to a miscarriage.
Uterine or cervical problems
Certain issues of your cervix or uterus can also cause recurrent miscarriages, including irregular shape.
Age
Usually, older women are at risk of miscarriages compared to women younger. The quality and number of eggs decreases from age 35 and above. The same applies to your partner.
The decreased quality of both the eggs and sperm may cause a genetic problem after fertilization that makes you susceptible to a miscarriage.
