You or someone you know may have experienced a miscarriage. This can be devastating for any couple, but especially those who have to endure it over and over again. Many women find themselves suffering recurrent pregnancy loss. Fortunately, the physicians at Southeastern Fertility have answers to this very common problem.

“There are many common reasons for recurrent pregnancy loss,” says Dr. John Schnorr, Reproductive Endocrinologist and Medical Director at Southeastern Fertility Center. “Some are caused by genetic abnormalities the husband and wife could have, other irregularities result from blood clotting disorders within the female’s body, uterine abnormalities such as uterine fibroids, uterine septums and deficiencies of progesterone are also common causes.” Increasing female age also increases the chances of miscarriage due to reduced number of eggs and decreasing egg quality.

Despite the large number of possible causes, there are many treatment options. They include supplementing with the hormone progesterone, correcting any uterine abnormalities through minor surgical procedures, and also the use of blood thinners when appropriate.

“The good news is,” Dr. Schnorr says, “recurrent pregnancy loss is one of the most correctable reproductive abnormalities.” With treatment, couples have with a very high chance of having a successful pregnancy. Using evidence-based treatment options is the first step in overcoming recurrent pregnancy loss.
