What is recurrent miscarriage?

Losing a pregnancy more than once before 20 weeks is considered recurrent miscarriage or early pregnancy loss. Miscarriages can happen for a myriad of reasons and are very common, more common as women get older. However, that doesn’t make each individual experience any less emotionally painful. We’re here to help you determine what may be the cause and take your next steps.

How Recurrent Miscarriage Evaluation and Treatment Works

We will begin by discussing and testing you for the most common potential causes of recurrent miscarriage. The most common cause of RPL is “unexplained,” meaning that no diagnosis can be made after an evaluation is completed. Some causes may include:


  • Chromosomal or genetic abnormalities in one or both partners
  • Structural issues in the uterus such as fibroids, polyps, scar tissue, or a band of tissue called a septum
  • A hormonal deficiency such as progesterone which supports endometrial and placental development
  • Untreated medical conditions such as thyroid disease, diabetes, and immune system or blood-clotting issues
  • Lifestyle factors that can impact pregnancy

Many of these tests will involve bloodwork or an ultrasound. Your team will be there to keep you informed through the whole testing process and will be ready to talk about next steps once you have some answers.


While recurrent miscarriage is common, its treatment is highly personal. After testing your doctor will determine which treatments are best for your needs. There may only be one treatment needed or a layering of treatments to address underlying fertility issues.


Recurrent miscarriage treatments could include:


  • Hormone supplementation
  • Hysteroscopic surgery to alleviate structural issues in the uterus
  • If a chromosomal abnormality is found, you may be a candidate for IVF along with preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) to select chromosomally normal embryos to transfer
  • IVF with genetic testing of embryos may be a successful treatment for unexplained recurrent miscarriage

Regardless of whether the testing reveals the root cause of your recurrent miscarriages, we are here to carefully monitor and support your next pregnancy and help give you the best possible chance of carrying to term.
