The Unspoken Challenge: Miscarriage and Recurrent Pregnancy Loss

Miscarriage. A word that carries pain, silence, and questions. For many women and couples, it’s a loss that happens in private. No ceremonies, no support groups just quiet grief. And when it happens more than once, it often leads to even more confusion and self-doubt.

Let’s talk about it. Openly. Kindly. Because the more we understand, the more we can support, heal, and hope again.

What Is a Miscarriage?

A miscarriage is the loss of a pregnancy before 20 weeks. It’s more common than many realize 1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriage, most often due to natural causes like chromosomal issues. It’s never your fault.

What Is Recurrent Pregnancy Loss (RPL)?

If someone has two or more miscarriages in a row, it’s called recurrent pregnancy loss. While heartbreaking, it doesn’t mean you can’t have a successful pregnancy. But it does call for a deeper look into possible underlying causes.

What Causes Recurrent Losses?

Here are some possibilities:

  • Genetic issues in the embryo
  • Hormonal imbalances, like thyroid or PCOS
  • Blood clotting problems (lesser known but important)
  • Uterine abnormalities (like fibroids or septum)
  • Age-related factors (egg or sperm quality)
  • Infections or autoimmune conditions

Most of these are diagnosable and manageable with the right care.


How Is It Diagnosed?

At ARC Fertility, we believe in not jumping to treatments. We take time to understand your medical history, run targeted blood tests, ultrasounds, and genetic screenings for both partners. The goal? To prepare your body and mind for a successful and safe pregnancy.

Does Recurrent Loss Mean IVF Is the Only Option?

Not necessarily. Many couples conceive naturally with the right guidance. But if needed, IVF with embryo screening or frozen embryo transfer after treatment often improves chances.

Why Emotional Healing Matters

Beyond medical support, you deserve emotional healing too. Miscarriage isn’t just a physical loss it’s a dream interrupted. Counseling, community support, and even simply speaking to a compassionate doctor can bring immense comfort.
