Question 8

why do i keep having early miscarriages?  i have had two.  the second was at five and a half weeks along. what could this mean?

Accepted Answer

See a REI specialist: You still have a chance of a healthy pregnancy 'on your own', but after 2 or more miscarriages we do tests to find out why. Possible causes include autoimmune conditions like antiphospholipid antibodies, blood clotting disorders, low egg supply, problems in the uterus like fibroids or a uterine septum, hormonal problems, or male or female genetic problems. Get checked out by a rei specialist.

Question 9

what are signs of early miscarriage?

Accepted Answer

Bleeding . . .: A positive pregnancy test with bleeding, particularly heavy bleeding with cramps, is most suggestive.  If pregnancy symptoms like fatigue, urinary frequency, breast tenderness, nausea, and vomiting suddenly improve, or if none of those symptoms appear despite the positive pregnancy test, you should be suspicious.

Question 10

any tablets to avoid early miscarriage?

Accepted Answer

Yes.: depends if the reason for recurrent miscarriages is known or not. For instance if you have been diagnosed with short Luteal phase cycles you can use Progesterone supplements.
