Pregnancy loss is a distressful experience.
It is especially devastating when the losses are
repetitive. Until recently, there was little a
couple could do if the suffered from so-called
unexplained recurrent pregnancy loss. New research,
however, has provided information on the causes of
the heretofore unexplained pregnancy losses
resulting in the availability of treatment that
enables women to carry their pregnancies to term.
Loss of pregnancy is a physically and emotionally
challenging ordeal. When pregnancy loss is
repetitive, these feelings are magnified. Effective
treatment for recurrent pregnancy loss is needed.
Before effective treatment can be instituted, the
cause of pregnancy loss must be determined. Human
reproduction is a surprisingly inefficient process
with up to 75% of fertilized eggs not producing live
births. These 75% of pregnancy losses can be
classified according to the time during pregnancy
when the loss occurs:
