Research shows that 1 in 6 pregnancies end in a miscarriage in the first trimester, i.e. 12 weeks of gestation. It usually occurs due to abnormalities in the embryos. When the maternal age increases, particularly in women more than 35 years of age, the probability of miscarriage is more due to poor egg quality and chromosomal defects.
Recurrent miscarriages are when a woman goes through two consecutive pregnancy losses. It is not common and affects one in every hundred women, and can be very distressing to a couple. It is three times more than what could be expected by chance alone and hence need investigations to see if there is a specific reason for the losses.
Our Approach to Recurrent Miscarriages
Some of the investigations suggested are chromosomal analysis of both partners, checking for antibodies called antiphospholipid antibodies and thrombophilia screening to identify a cause for recurrent miscarriages. In about half of the women with recurrent miscarriages, a cause can be identified and treatment directed towards this. However, in the other half, no cause can be identified. In these women, continued attempts at further pregnancy are encouraged as there is still a good chance of successful live birth in the future.
We offer the latest techniques, such as PGS (Preimplantation Genetic Screening), to help women suffering from recurrent pregnancy losses to achieve a healthy pregnancy.
Our experts recognise the unique challenges faced by couples experiencing recurrent miscarriages. We are committed to providing support and offering evidence-based treatment methods to help them achieve a healthy live birth.
