How common is a miscarriage?

Approximately 25% of pregnancies end in miscarriage representing about 5 million losses a year in the US alone. Fortunately, at Adefris & Toppin Women’s Specialists, the team has developed a unique framework in which the physician and nurse colleagues evaluate and provide personalized patient-centered care to meet the individual needs of each patient.

Do miscarriage increase with age?

The likelihood of miscarriage may increase with age under some circumstances however our methods can help to not only prevent miscarriage but also ensure healthy pregnancy at any age. Why do miscarriages happen?

Miscarriage may occur for various reasons from clotting disorders to chromosomal problems. Pregnancy loss may also occur due to physical problems like fibroids, scar tissue, and polyps. There are many potential causes and each is carefully addressed in the workup for miscarriage. 

How do I find out why I had a miscarriage?

Adefris & Toppin Women’s Specialists will get to the bottom of why you've had one or more miscarriages. You can expect your physician to ask you about your medical history, past pregnancies, and to conduct a physical exam, including a pelvic exam. 

Next, they typically recommend blood tests to identify potential causes of the miscarriage. This is followed by a visit to discuss and make a plan of management for future pregnancies.

You may also need an imaging test, such as an ultrasound, to determine whether the miscarriages are due to a uterine problem or structural issue. Adefris & Toppin Women’s Specialists conveniently offers in-office ultrasound exams.
