Repeated miscarriages may be caused by things like blood clotting issues, hormone issues, certain autoimmune disorders, high blood sugar, and polycystic ovarian syndrome. If you have had two miscarriages, your risk of experiencing another rises to 28 percent , according to the Mayo Clinic. After three consecutive losses, the risk of another miscarriage rises to 43 percent. For this reason, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends you have testing done if you experience three or more miscarriages in a row.
While up to 75 percent of repeated miscarriages may be of unknown cause, there are certain health situations that may put you at greater risk of loss. If you can determine what they are, treatment for the underlying cause may help you get and stay pregnant. While this may be concerning and upsetting, the good news is that even after three miscarriages with no known cause, around 65 percent of couples go on to have a successful next pregnancy.

Your risk of anxiety and depression, particularly postpartum depression, is slightly increased after experiencing early pregnancy loss. For the majority of women, the odds of carrying a pregnancy to term and meeting your rainbow baby are in your favor.
If there is a specific diagnosis, perhaps that can be properly treated and addressed. If fertility treatment is recommended or the doctor feels the pregnancy losses may have been due to a genetic abnormality, in vitro fertilization IVF with Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy PGT-A , formerly known as PGS might be recommended.
PGT-A can increase your chances of having a healthy baby and decrease your chances of a miscarriage by selecting chromosomally normal embryos. If your doctor determines that there may be an implantation problem, he or she may consider a test called Endometrial Receptivity Analysis ERA.
ERA can determine your personalized implantation window. This way, your doctor will know the ideal time to transfer the embryo to give it the best chance of implanting in the uterus, thus giving you the best chances of achieving a pregnancy. There is a lot to process and while you and your doctor discuss possible causes of your pregnancy losses and options for fertility treatment.
