One question that shadows every thought is how would the Miscarriage impacts your future pregnancy or what it says about your ability to conceive in the future. So, here we will be trying to explain how Miscarriage affects the ability the conceive in the future.
What is a miscarriage?
A miscarriage is a spontaneous loss of pregnancy before the 20th week of pregnancy. Almost 80% of miscarriages occur within the first trimester. The most basic reason for a miscarriage is the fetus not developing as it should. At the same time, the problem with the baby’s chromosomes is the cause of 50% of early pregnancy losses.
How does it impact Fertility?
Miscarriage is generally a one-time occurrence. The women who suffer a miscarriage do end up carrying a successful, healthy pregnancy in their lifetime. But some women go on to have repeated miscarriages; these constitute about 1% of women who suffer a miscarriage.
If a woman had suffered a miscarriage, the risk of suffering another is about 20%. Whereas, the risk of Miscarriage after 2 consecutive miscarriages increases to 28%. After three or more miscarriages, the risk of Miscarriage is 43%. Experiencing miscarriages multiple times might be due to Translocation, a genetic abnormality where chromosomes keep transferring. In these cases, the doctors strictly advise the couple to explore other option over natural conception.
These statistics show that consulting a doctor after a miscarriage is vital to reduce the risk associated with future pregnancies. It is always advised to consult a fertility expert and a doctor before trying to conceive again to find the underlying reasons as to why the uterus was unable to carry a pregnancy for full term.
