What Could Be The Possible Reason For 2 Miscarriages?

Hello Doctor,
I and my husband have been trying for baby for past 1 year . I did conceive in the past 6 months twice but both ended in miscarriage. I lost my first baby in 6 weeks (with bleeding ) and 2nd in 9weeks , in both the cases fetal pole was not seen. I am aged 35 and have 2 Subserosal fibroid and 1 Intramural fibroid all three ranging between 2-3cm.
I am really scared and fear if i will be able to carry my pregnancy to full term ever ? What could be the possible reasons of 2 Miscarriages? Please help

Hello, and I hope I can help you today.

First, I want to reassure you that your miscarriages were not due to your fibroids or anything being physically wrong with your uterus, tubes or ovaries.

The fact that you never developed a fetal pole during either pregnancy means that the pregnancy was not normal from the start, which is due to genetic abnormalities in greater that 99 percent of cases. Normally, if a fetus does not develop, the pregnancy tissue will be shed by the body naturally as hormone levels fall, causing a "miscarriage".

Women over age 35 have an increased risk of conceiving genetically abnormal pregnancies, and because of this, about 1 in 7 pregnancies will not develop properly and miscarry.

I know it can be discouraging to have had two miscarriages, but the chance of having a normal pregnancy next time is still over 80 percent. So there is no reason to suspect that you cannot carry a normal, healthy pregnancy to term. If you develop a fetus with a heartbeat on a subsequent pregnancy, your chance of losing the pregnancy after that is less than 1 percent. So I encourage you not to be discouraged and I assure you if you do develop an actual fetus and your genetic testing is normal, you should be able to carry a pregnancy normally to term.

I hope I was able to adequately answer your question today and that my advice was helpful.

Best wishes,

Dr. Brown
