Recurrent Pregnancy Loss (RPL)
Recurrent Pregnancy Loss is defined as having 3 or more miscarriages. However, understanding that miscarriage is emotionally and physically draining, traditional testing can start after 2 miscarriages. Unfortunately, testing and treatment options of recurrent miscarriage are very limited.
Symptoms of Miscarriage
-
Spotting or bleeding in pregnancy with mild to severe cramping and or back pain leading to loss of pregnancy
-
Initial test – Recurrent pregnancy loss panel
Treatment
-
IUI with controlled Hyperstimulation - by making more eggs in hopes that one of the eggs will be of good quality and lead to a successful pregnancy.
-
IVF+PGT - we can learn more about the cause of miscarriage and separate whether the cause of miscarriage is due to ovarian factors vs. uterine factors and personalize care from the knowledge we gain from the IVF process.
