Recurrent Miscarriage

Recurrent miscarriage is a heart-wrenching experience that affects many couples. At Union Reproductive Medicine Centre, we are here to provide support, understanding, and advanced medical care to help you through this challenging journey.

What is Recurrent Miscarriage?

2+ Times

Recurrent miscarriage refers to 2 or more consecutive spontaneous miscarriages.

~50%

Nearly half of cases have identifiable causes.

1-2%

1-2% of couples globally experience recurrent miscarriage.

13 Weeks

Most miscarriages occur within the first 13 weeks; some happen between 14 to 24 weeks.

Causes of Recurrent Miscarriage

About half of recurrent miscarriages have identifiable causes. Contributing factors and risks include:

Embryonic Factors

Chromosomal issues cause 50% of miscarriages.

Uterine Anomaly

Uterine abnormalities hinder embryo growth and cause loss.

Endocrine Issues

Low progesterone and thyroid issues raise miscarriage risk.

Immune disorders

Antiphospholipid syndrome raises miscarriage risk.

Thrombophilia

Abnormal antibodies thicken blood, increasing clotting risk.

Cervical weakness

Cervical incompetence occurs in fewer than 1 in 100 women.

Infections

Infections can cause miscarriages.

Next Pregnancy

To reduce the risk of miscarriage, increased monitoring is advisable for your next pregnancy. Upon discovering you are pregnant, you can contact our Reproductive Medicine Centre or Early Pregnancy Centre for regular hormonal and ultrasound checks, along with professional advice.
