Few situations in reproductive medicine are as heartbreaking as achieving a positive result and, shortly afterwards, seeing the dream fade away. We know the emotional impact is immense. However, at Viamed Fertility Institute, we want to offer you a message of calm: recurrent miscarriage is not a matter of “bad luck”, but a clinical condition that requires in-depth investigation to find the root cause.
From Viamed Hospital Santa Ángela de la Cruz, we approach each pregnancy loss with a high-resolution focus, moving beyond simply seeking pregnancy and concentrating on ensuring that it reaches full term successfully.
Traditionally, it was considered necessary to have suffered three losses before beginning a study. However, at our centre in Seville, we understand that emotional exhaustion should not have to wait. That is why, if you have experienced two or more repeated miscarriages, we consider it the right time to carry out a specialist assessment.
We do not wait for the situation to happen again; we act so that the next attempt can be the definitive one.
We study both the parents' karyotype and the embryos. At this point, genetic study of the pregnancy loss is vitally important, as it can provide the definitive key to why the pregnancy did not progress.
We analyse whether there are coagulation problems that prevent blood from reaching the placenta and future baby correctly.
Sometimes, the mother's immune system does not recognise the embryo as "its own", favouring pregnancy loss. We have specific protocols to regulate this response.
We monitor values such as progesterone and thyroid function. We also rule out uterine malformations or the presence of fibroids that could hinder the baby's growth, using 3D ultrasound.
We understand that after a loss, the most urgent question is: “Why did it happen?” To offer precise answers without adding further physical stress, at IFV Sevilla we incorporate the PregnancyLoss Test. This cutting-edge technological solution allows us to analyse the genetic causes of pregnancy interruption in a completely non-invasive way and with maximum speed, requiring only a maternal blood sample to study free fetal DNA and thereby avoid the traditional analysis of biological remains.
It is very common for the causes of recurrent miscarriage to overlap with those of implantation failure, when the embryo does not even manage to implant. In both cases, the study must be exhaustive and rule out genetic, immune and endometrial environment factors.
If the embryo does not implant, or if it is lost after a few weeks, we can look for the origin in a “piece of the puzzle” that has not yet been found.
In many cases of recurrent miscarriage, the key lies in the embryo. Through preimplantation genetic testing, we transfer embryos with a normal chromosomal complement, significantly reducing the miscarriage rate.
Once pregnancy is achieved, monitoring at our hospital is much closer, with frequent blood tests and ultrasound checks for your complete peace of mind.
Yes. The vast majority of couples who experience recurrent miscarriage are able to have a healthy baby once the cause has been identified and the appropriate medical treatment is applied.
It is essential. It allows us to determine whether the miscarriage was due to a genetic abnormality in the embryo, which may be a one-off event, or whether the embryo was healthy, in which case we would need to look for the cause in the mother, such as uterine, coagulation or immunological factors. Today, thanks to the PregnancyLoss Test, this genetic study can be performed using maternal blood, avoiding traditional analysis of biological remains.
Although there are significant medical causes, factors such as smoking, extreme stress or certain vitamin deficiencies can play a role. At IFV, we advise you comprehensively so that your body is in the best possible condition.
