Having had 3 miscarriages, is there still a chance of getting pregnant again?" Answered by Dr. Kitti Chattratrakulchai

Q: After 3 miscarriages, is there still a chance of getting pregnant again?

A: For women who have experienced multiple miscarriages, is there still hope of becoming pregnant again? As I always tell my patients, as long as there is hope, there is still a chance of pregnancy. However, pregnancy requires careful planning and guidance from experts. Most patients who experience recurrent miscarriages, more than twice, may have an underlying condition, such as autoimmune disorders or abnormalities in the uterus, like polyps or fibroids, which can cause recurrent miscarriage. Another reason could be genetic abnormalities in either partner, where they are carriers of chromosomal issues, leading to abnormal embryos.

Therefore, I recommend that patients who have experienced repeated miscarriages undergo a thorough check-up to identify the root cause. Once the cause is identified, we can plan appropriate treatment to prevent further miscarriages.

The symptoms of miscarriage vary between individuals. Some may experience severe abdominal pain and bleeding similar to menstruation, while others may have no symptoms at all until they have an ultrasound during a routine check-up.

Body Mass Index calculator

Being overweight or underweight can reduce fertility, so it is important to keep your body weight within the normal healthy range.

Body Mass Index (BMI) is an indication of your body weight and can be calculated by dividing weight by height. You should aim for a BMI of between 20 and 25, as this will optimise your chances of conception.

Woman’s BMI below 19

Even in these modern times, nature knows best. If a woman's BMI falls below 19, the body senses famine and ovulation is switched off to prevent the risk of having a baby with malnutrition. Excessive exercise can reduce body fat and increase muscle mass to a point where periods cease for the same reason. Risk of miscarriage is also increased in women with a low BMI.

Being underweight

If a woman's BMI falls below 19, the body senses famine and ovulation is switched off to prevent the risk of having a baby with malnutrition. Excessive exercise can reduce body fat and increase muscle mass to a point where periods cease for the same reason. Risk of miscarriage is also increased in women with a low BMI.

BMI’s greater than 30

This can reduce fertility by 50%. Pregnancy for women with a 30+ BMI is often associated with problems such as maternal diabetes, high blood pressure, big babies and increased risk of caesarean section.
