Miscarriages are extremely distressing if you are trying to conceive. The initial elation of a positive pregnancy test can turn to despair if the pregnancy repeatedly fails. More than three miscarriages in a row are called ‘recurrent miscarriage’ and we recommend investigation.
There are many different causes for miscarriage. These include genetic causes, hormonal problems (including low levels of progesterone hormone, polycystic ovaries, premature menopause), blood clotting disorders, infections and structural problems of the uterus and cervix.
Pregnancies may miscarry at different times. The most common time for a pregnancy to miscarry is in the first trimester (before twelve weeks gestation). Later miscarriages are usually due to structural problems within the uterus or infections. However, many miscarriages occur for no obvious reason and research continues into this group.
