Recurrent miscarriage carries a weight that is difficult to put into words. If you've experienced multiple losses — especially around the same point in pregnancy — it can leave you feeling confused, discouraged, and wondering what your body is doing wrong. But after years of working with fertility patients, I want you to hear this clearly: your body is not broken.

When losses consistently happen around the same stage — particularly the 5–7 week window — your body is often giving us valuable information. The timing of a miscarriage can reveal underlying patterns related to metabolic health, immune regulation, embryo development, or the internal environment supporting pregnancy. When we begin to understand those signals, we can work with your physiology to strengthen the conditions that allow pregnancy to continue developing.

"Recurrent miscarriage doesn't mean your body is failing you — it often means your body is communicating something important." - Brooke Boskovich.

In This Episode, You'll Learn:

  • Why recurrent miscarriage around 6 weeks often points to identifiable physiological patterns
  • What's happening biologically during the 5–7 week transition in pregnancy
  • How metabolic health and insulin resistance can influence early pregnancy outcomes
  • The role of immune balance and inflammation in sustaining early pregnancy
  • Why gut health and the microbiome can impact miscarriage risk
  • How mineral balance and mitochondrial function affect fertility and embryo development
  • The connection between thyroid autoimmunity and pregnancy loss
  • Why identifying patterns is key to improving future fertility outcomes
  • Foundational strategies that support the body in maintaining pregnancy
