Recurrent First Trimester Miscarriage: A Typical Case Presentation and Evidence-Based Management Review

Abstract

Recurrent miscarriage (RM), also known as recurrent pregnancy loss, is a distressing condition which affects about 1% of couples trying to achieve a pregnancy. It can be challenging for both patients and clinicians as the cause remains unexplained in at least 50% of couples despite multiple investigations. A systematic and evidence-based approach to testing and management is important to avoid tests or treatments which are unnecessary or of unproven benefit. Access to specialist RM clinic services and psychological support forms a key part of the management of couples with RM.
