Overcoming Repeated Miscarriages: Causes & Hopeful Solutions

Understanding Recurrent Pregnancy Loss

Repeated miscarriages, also known as recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL), can be an emotionally devastating experience for couples trying to conceive. If you’ve experienced two or more consecutive pregnancy losses, it’s essential to identify the underlying causes and explore effective solutions to increase your chances of a successful pregnancy. At New World Fertility, we are committed to providing expert care and support for couples facing this challenge.

Common Causes of Repeated Miscarriages

1. Genetic & Chromosomal Abnormalities

  • Around 50-60% of early miscarriages occur due to chromosomal issues in the embryo.

  • Parental genetic conditions like balanced translocations can contribute to pregnancy loss.

2. Hormonal & Endocrine Disorders

  • Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) affects ovulation and increases miscarriage risk.

  • Thyroid dysfunction (hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism) disrupts pregnancy stability.

  • Uncontrolled diabetes may lead to pregnancy loss due to high blood sugar levels.

3. Uterine Abnormalities & Structural Issues

  • Uterine fibroids, adhesions, or septum can interfere with implantation.

  • An incompetent cervix may cause second-trimester miscarriages.

4. Autoimmune & Blood Clotting Disorders

  • Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS) increases the risk of blood clots in the placenta.

  • Lupus and other autoimmune diseases can lead to immune system attacks during pregnancy.

5. Infections & Lifestyle Factors

  • Untreated infections like bacterial vaginosis, toxoplasmosis, or cytomegalovirus (CMV) may harm pregnancy.

  • Smoking, alcohol, caffeine, and drug use increase miscarriage risks.

  • Obesity or extreme weight loss can disrupt hormonal balance and fertility.

Diagnosing the Cause of Recurrent Miscarriages

If you’ve had multiple miscarriages, medical tests at New World Fertility can help identify the underlying problem:

  • Genetic Testing: Karyotyping for both partners and PGT (Preimplantation Genetic Testing) for embryos.

  • Hormonal Evaluation: Thyroid, prolactin, and insulin resistance tests.

  • Uterine Assessment: Hysteroscopy, sonohysterogram, or MRI.

  • Blood Clotting & Autoimmune Tests: Antiphospholipid antibodies and lupus anticoagulant tests.

Hopeful Solutions & Treatment Options

1. Lifestyle Modifications for a Healthier Pregnancy

  • Maintain a balanced diet rich in folic acid, iron, and antioxidants.

  • Avoid smoking, alcohol, and excess caffeine.

  • Engage in moderate exercise and manage stress with meditation or counselling.

2. Medical & Surgical Interventions

  • Hormonal therapy (progesterone supplements) can support early pregnancy.

  • Surgery for uterine abnormalities like fibroids or septum correction.

  • Blood-thinning medications (aspirin or heparin) for clotting disorders.

  • IVF with PGT to select genetically healthy embryos at New World Fertility.

3. Emotional Support & Coping Strategies

  • Seek counselling or support groups for emotional healing.

  • Communicate openly with your partner and healthcare provider.
