Recurrent pregnancy loss can happen for many reasons. To understand what contributing factors are at play it is important to look at your full picture. Your fertility specialist may evaluate the genetics and overall health of the eggs, sperm and/or embryo(s), hormone levels, the shape and structure of the uterus, immune factors, infections, underlying medical conditions and other possible causes.
Sometimes, testing may uncover something that can help guide treatment, such as fibroids or polyps, hormonal factors, or genetic differences. In many cases, however, a specific cause isn’t identified. Even without a clear explanation, your care team can help you understand your results and find a thoughtful path forward.
