Recurrent loss guide
Repeated pregnancy loss deserves a careful review and compassionate support—not blame or a random list of tests. This guide explains how EPIA structures the history, investigations and next-step discussion after more than one loss.
At a glance
01
The first step is to document each pregnancy: dates, ultrasound findings, gestational stage, symptoms, treatment and any genetic or pathology result. The pattern may help distinguish implantation, early development, anatomical, genetic, endocrine or later-pregnancy questions.
Bring discharge summaries, scan reports, laboratory results and records from fertility treatment if applicable. If records are incomplete, write down what you remember; a specialist can identify the most important gaps.
02
Depending on the history, evaluation may include the uterine cavity or shape, antiphospholipid antibodies, thyroid function, parental chromosomes and genetic testing from pregnancy tissue when available. Other testing is selected when symptoms or prior results make it relevant.
Not every immune, clotting, infection or genetic test sold as a recurrent-loss panel has proven value for every patient. Ask what a positive result would change and what evidence supports the proposed treatment.
03
Management depends on the cause identified. It may involve treatment of a uterine finding, thyroid management, evidence-based care for antiphospholipid syndrome, changes to fertility treatment or a plan for close early-pregnancy monitoring.
Broad use of medicines or add-ons without a diagnosis can add cost and side effects without clear benefit. A responsible plan explains what each intervention is intended to change and what remains uncertain.
04
The conversation should include physical recovery, emotional readiness, medicines, preconception health and when to contact the clinic after a positive test. Some people want to try again soon; others need time or a second opinion before deciding.
Pregnancy loss is not your fault. Psychological support, continuity with a known clinical team and a clear early-monitoring plan can make the next stage more manageable even when no single cause is found.
Frequently asked questions
Many clinicians consider evaluation after two or more pregnancy losses, but definitions and the right timing for investigation can vary with gestational stage, age, history and local guidance.
No. A complete evaluation may not identify one cause. That does not mean the losses were imagined or your care should stop; the team can still address findings, discuss prognosis and plan early support.
Not necessarily. Some tests have a clear role in selected patients, while others have limited evidence. Ask how each result would change treatment before agreeing to a broad panel.
Bring pregnancy dates, ultrasound and blood-test reports, discharge or procedure notes, genetic or pathology results, medication lists and any fertility-treatment and embryology records.
