Recurrent Miscarriage
Consult Dr. Vaishali Grover, a highly respected gynaecologist and infertility specialist in Ludhiana, for compassionate, individualized, and ethical solutions for recurrent miscarriage.
What is Recurrent Miscarriage?
Recurrent miscarriage is clinically defined as having 3 or more consecutive early miscarriages. An early miscarriage is defined as one that happens in the first trimester (first 12 weeks of pregnancy). Affecting nearly 5% of women, it is caused by chromosomal abnormalities, uterine issues, blood clotting disorders, and hormonal imbalances. In 50% of the cases, it remains unexplained.
The good news: While this experience is emotionally taxing, it is important to know that nearly 60–80% of women with a history of recurrent loss go on to have a successful pregnancy with the right medical intervention.
What Causes Recurrent Miscarriage?
Understanding the cause is the first step toward a solution. Recurrent miscarriage is often a multi-factorial issue:
- Abnormal chromosomes
- Blood clotting disorders
- Hormonal imbalances
- Thyroid disorder
- Prolactin imbalances
- PCOS/ PCOD
- Progesterone deficiencies
- Uterine problems
- Cervical weakness

Note: You may also have unexplained recurrent miscarriage wherein tests do not show any abnormalities.

No. Miscarriage is almost never caused by stress, exercise, or minor accidents. Most losses are biological – related to genetics, hormones, or anatomy. Dr. Vaishali Grover, a leading gynaecologist and fertility specialist in the Ludhiana region, focuses on finding that biological cause and addressing it.
While the clinical definition is three losses, Dr. Vaishali Grover recommends a consultation after two losses, especially for women over 35, to begin proactive testing and avoid further emotional distress.
Yes. In many cases, sperm quality or paternal genetic factors can contribute to recurrent loss. A comprehensive evaluation of both partners is a standard part of Dr. Vaishali Grover’s protocol.
Absolutely. Most women with recurrent miscarriage have a very high chance of a successful future pregnancy once the underlying cause is identified and managed.
Not always. While a standard ultrasound is a great starting tool, Dr. Vaishali Grover, a respected fertility specialist in Ludhiana, often uses Hysteroscopy or a 3D Saline Ultrasound to get a clearer view of the internal shape of the womb, which is essential for diagnosing issues like a uterine septum.
