I am joined by Dr. Sami from Plan Your Baby to discuss the complexities surrounding miscarriage, including the various tests and investigations available for those who have experienced recurrent miscarriages.

We discuss


  • How miscarriage is a common experience, affecting many women.
  • How recurrent miscarriage is often defined as having three consecutive miscarriages, but investigations can start after two.
  • What are the basic tests for miscarriage include hormone levels, ultrasound scans, and screening for autoimmune conditions.
  • How lifestyle factors, such as smoking and alcohol consumption, can impact miscarriage rates.
  • The vaginal microbiome role in pregnancy outcomes.
  • How immune factors can contribute to recurrent miscarriage, and treatments are available.
  • Understanding that not all miscarriages are due to chromosomal abnormalities can empower women.
