Recurrent Miscarriage Support Overview
Experiencing multiple pregnancy losses can be incredibly emotionally and physically challenging. Recurrent miscarriage, defined as two or more consecutive pregnancy losses, affects many couples trying to conceive. While heartbreaking, it is important to know that many underlying causes can be identified and treated. As a Brisbane based fertility specialist, Dr. Basu provides expert care, thorough investigations, and compassionate support to help you achieve a successful pregnancy.
There are several potential reasons for repeated pregnancy loss, including:
- Genetic Factors – Chromosomal abnormalities in the embryo can lead to early pregnancy loss.
- Hormonal Imbalances – Conditions like PCOS, thyroid disorders, and progesterone deficiency can affect implantation and pregnancy viability.
- Uterine Abnormalities – Structural issues such as fibroids, polyps, or a uterine septum may impact pregnancy success.
- Autoimmune & Blood Clotting Disorders – Conditions like antiphospholipid syndrome (APLS) or thrombophilia can increase the risk of miscarriage.
- Infections & Chronic Inflammation – Some infections or immune system dysfunctions may contribute to pregnancy loss.
- Lifestyle & Environmental Factors – Smoking, excessive alcohol intake, obesity, and unmanaged stress can impact fertility and pregnancy health.
