Miscarriage & Recurrent Pregnancy Loss: Diagnosis & Care
A clear, compassionate guide to miscarriage and recurrent pregnancy loss, covering evaluation, treatment and support for future pregnancies.
Treatment usually begins with
Specialist Assessment
Ultrasound Confirmation
Medical or Surgical Management
Follow-up Support
Care focuses on your physical recovery first, with further evaluation offered when you are ready.
You may need this evaluated if...
An evaluation is recommended when these signs appear:
- Vaginal bleeding or cramping in early pregnancy
- Loss of pregnancy symptoms suddenly
- Two or more consecutive pregnancy losses
- Tissue passing with bleeding
Most women who experience pregnancy loss go on to have a healthy pregnancy afterward.
What is Miscarriage & Recurrent Pregnancy Loss?
Miscarriage is the loss of a pregnancy before 20 weeks, and recurrent pregnancy loss refers to two or more consecutive losses, both of which are more common than often discussed.
More Common Than Assumed
A significant proportion of confirmed pregnancies end in early miscarriage.
Often Not Preventable
Most single miscarriages result from chance chromosomal issues, not something the mother did.
Evaluation for Recurrence
Recurrent loss is investigated to look for an underlying, treatable cause.
Supportive Care
Emotional support alongside medical care is an important part of recovery.
Common Symptoms
- Vaginal bleeding, ranging from light spotting to heavy flow
- Cramping or lower abdominal pain
- Passing of tissue or clots
- Sudden resolution of pregnancy symptoms
What Increases Your Risk
A combination of medical, lifestyle and hereditary factors can increase the likelihood of this condition.
How It Is Diagnosed
A structured assessment confirms the diagnosis and helps guide the right treatment plan.
Ultrasound Confirmation
A scan confirms whether the pregnancy is continuing or has been lost.
Blood hCG Monitoring
Hormone level tracking helps confirm the diagnosis and monitor recovery.
Recurrent Loss Workup
After repeated losses, testing looks for hormonal, structural or genetic causes.
Follow-up Assessment
A review after recovery discusses findings and next steps.
Treatment Approaches
Medical Care
- Expectant management, allowing the body to pass the pregnancy naturally
- Medication to help complete the miscarriage
- Emotional support and counseling resources
Surgical Care
A dilation and curettage procedure may be recommended to complete the miscarriage safely, especially if tissue remains or bleeding is heavy.
Treatment decisions are based on symptoms, test results, timing and overall health, not a single test.
Know When to Act
Recognising these signs early and acting promptly is important for the best outcome.
Book an Assessment
Schedule a consultation for a routine evaluation or ongoing symptoms.
- Bleeding or cramping in early pregnancy needing evaluation
- Two or more pregnancy losses needing a recurrence workup

- Severe abdominal pain
