Investigating recurrent pregnancy loss
Which investigations are usually offered after repeated miscarriage, covering chromosomes, the uterine cavity, thyroid and antiphospholipid testing, and why results are often normal.
Focused on the assessment pathway rather than on why loss happens.
No single test identifies a cause in everyone, and a normal set of results is common and does not mean nothing can be done. Antega does not support immune treatments such as IVIG or intralipids outside a clinical trial or a clear evidence-based indication.
Key takeaways
- Investigation after recurrent loss usually covers chromosomes, the uterine cavity, thyroid function and antiphospholipid antibodies.
- In many couples no single cause is found.
- Unproven immune therapies should not be offered as routine.
