Get Started With Recurrent Pregnancy Loss Testing & Treatment 

Common Causes of Recurrent Pregnancy Loss 

Understanding the common causes of recurrent pregnancy loss is essential for determining the most effective treatment approach. While these causes can vary widely among individuals, several known factors significantly contribute to recurrent miscarriages.

  • Genetic Factors: One of the primary recurrent miscarriage causes includes chromosomal abnormalities in the egg or sperm. Couples facing recurrent miscarriages due to genetic factors may benefit from genetic counseling, using a donated egg or sperm, or in vitro fertilization (IVF) with preimplantation genetic screening.

  • Anatomical Issues: Structural problems with the uterus can also lead to recurrent pregnancy loss. Conditions such as uterine septum, fibroids, or polyps create an inhospitable environment for implantation or development of the fetus. Surgical interventions can correct many of these structural abnormalities, improving the chances of a successful pregnancy.

  • Hormonal Imbalances: Hormonal disorders, such as thyroid, adrenal, or pituitary disorders, can disrupt the body's natural reproductive processes, leading to miscarriage. Treatment typically involves medication to regulate hormonal levels, alongside lifestyle changes to improve overall health and fertility.

  • Immunologic Disorders: Autoimmune diseases, where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the developing embryo, are another cause of recurrent miscarriages. Treatments may include steroids or other medications to modulate the immune response, making the uterine environment more conducive to pregnancy.

  • Blood Clotting Disorders: Some individuals have blood clotting disorders that prevent the placenta from developing correctly, leading to miscarriage. Treatment often involves blood-thinning medications to reduce the risk of clotting and support a healthy pregnancy.

  • Lifestyle Factors: Lifestyle choices, including smoking, alcohol use, and obesity, have been linked to an increased risk of miscarriage. Couples are advised to lead a healthier lifestyle by quitting smoking, reducing alcohol intake, and achieving a healthy weight to reduce their risk.

  • Advanced Maternal Age: Women over the age of 35 have a higher risk of miscarriage, primarily due to a decrease in egg quality and an increased risk of chromosomal abnormalities. Opting to use previously frozen eggs or donor eggs from younger women can increase the chances of a successful pregnancy for older women.

  • Unexplained Miscarriage: In some cases, recurrent pregnancy loss remains unexplained even after a thorough evaluation. In these cases, Dr Mooney will work with you to individually tailor a treatment strategy best suited for your medical circumstances.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who should see a recurrent miscarriage specialist?

Individuals or couples who have experienced two or more consecutive miscarriages should consider consulting with a recurrent miscarriage specialist like Dr. Mooney. A specialist in this area can offer advanced diagnostic testing and treatments that may not be available through standard OB/GYN care.

Consulting a specialist can provide insight into the potential causes of recurrent losses, including genetic, hormonal, anatomical, or immunological factors, and pave the way for tailored treatments.

What does recurrent miscarriage testing involve?

Recurrent miscarriage testing typically includes a thorough medical history, physical exam, and laboratory tests to assess hormone levels and genetic factors. Additionally, imaging studies such as ultrasounds may be recommended to evaluate the structure of the uterus.

Depending on the individual case, other specialized testing, such as saline infusion sonography (SIS), hysteroscopy, or endometrial biopsy, may be necessary. Dr. Mooney and his team will work closely with you to determine the most appropriate testing for your specific situation.
