Going through one miscarriage is devastating. And when it happens more than once? It can feel like hope is slipping away. Here’s the thing: pregnancy after recurrent miscarriages is absolutely possible. With the right steps—medical insight, lifestyle changes, and emotional support—many women go on to have healthy pregnancies. In this blog, we’ll break down what recurrent miscarriages mean, what might cause them, what you can do next, and why there’s real hope ahead.
What Is Considered a Recurrent Miscarriage?
- Definition and Medical Criteria
Recurrent miscarriage typically means losing two or more pregnancies before 20 weeks. If this happens to you, it’s not your imagination—it’s a signal from your body. It’s a sign to check what might be going on. - How Common Is It?
About 1–2% of women experience three or more early miscarriages. Another 3–5% have two. Numbers alone don’t lessen the pain—but they show you’re not facing this alone.
What Causes Recurrent Miscarriages?
– Possible Medical Reasons
- Hormonal issues: Low progesterone, thyroid problems, or PCOS can interfere with pregnancy.
- Uterus structure: Shapes like fibroids, polyps, or a septum may prevent a baby from growing.
- Chromosomal issues: Sometimes embryos have genetic problems that stop growth.
- Blood clotting disorders: Conditions like antiphospholipid syndrome can block blood flow to the placenta.
– Lifestyle and Environment
- Smoking, drinking, weight issues: These can affect fertility and pregnancy health.
- Stress and mental health: While stress alone doesn’t cause miscarriage, it can impact hormones.
- Infections: Certain infections need medical attention to lower risks.
Can You Still Get Pregnant After Recurrent Miscarriages?

Yes. Most women who’ve had two or more miscarriages go on to have a full-term pregnancy once the cause is found and treated.
