We can help you welcome a baby after experiencing recurrent pregnancy loss
It’s heartbreaking to experience multiple miscarriages. However, it isn’t the end of your journey to welcome a healthy baby. The Fertility Center of Las Vegas provides an Oasis of Hope for all our patients. This includes those who have faced recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL). Our experienced Las Vegas fertility doctors offer the latest diagnostic tools and fertility treatments so that you can overcome this unique type of infertility and welcome a rainbow baby.
What is recurrent pregnancy loss?
This term refers to a situation where a woman has two or more miscarriages before each pregnancy is 20 weeks along. This diagnosis typically only covers pregnancies that a doctor can detect on an ultrasound.
One of the biggest questions that patients have about RPL is why it happens. It turns out that there are several issues that can cause multiple miscarriages.
- Chromosomal abnormalities in the embryo.
- Environmental and lifestyle issues like smoking and drinking alcohol.
- Medical conditions like autoimmune issues, diabetes and thyroid disease.
- Uterine abnormalities like fibroids that interfere with an embryo’s ability to grow.
In about half of recurrent pregnancy loss cases, there is no clear cause. However, even when no cause is identified, our Las Vegas fertility doctors can often help patients have a healthy pregnancy and baby.
What are the treatments for multiple miscarriages?
When our team works with you to overcome RPL, they perform testing to reach an accurate diagnosis and then develop a customized treatment plan. Your doctor will start by ordering diagnostic testing to determine what’s causing you to have multiple miscarriages. Some examples of these tests include bloodwork, products of conception testing and ultrasounds.
Once your doctor has a better understanding of why you’re facing recurrent pregnancy loss, they will develop a treatment plan for you. This plan will vary depending on your unique situation. For example, if you have uterine abnormalities, your doctor may recommend minimally invasive surgery. If chromosomal issues are at play, in vitro fertilization (IVF) with preimplantation genetic testing (PGT)can help.
It’s normal to feel disheartened and discouraged right now, but know that there is hope. In fact, women and couples who have had three miscarriages still have a 60% to 80% chance of bringing home a baby. You can increase your odds by working with our Las Vegas fertility doctors.
