Recurrent Miscarriage & Early Pregnancy
Specialist assessment for women and couples experiencing recurrent pregnancy loss, with continuity into early pregnancy
Going through pregnancy loss once is hard enough. Facing it again brings a particular kind of fear that’s hard to put into words, and a need for real answers, not just reassurance that “it will happen next time.”
Our Recurrent Miscarriage & Early Pregnancy service is built around both of those needs: thorough, evidence-based investigation, and genuinely compassionate support, from a team who won’t rush you through it.
This may be for you if:
- You've experienced two or more miscarriages
- You want investigation before trying again, for your own peace of mind
- You've conceived after previous loss or fertility treatment and want close early monitoring
- You've been told previous investigations found "nothing", but want a fresh, thorough look
However many losses you’ve experienced, your grief and your questions are valid — and you deserve proper answers.
Investigating recurrent miscarriage
UK guidance generally recommends a full investigation after three or more consecutive early miscarriages, though we’re happy to see you sooner if that would bring you reassurance. Investigation typically includes testing for antiphospholipid syndrome — a treatable clotting condition, confirmed with two positive blood tests 12 weeks apart — thyroid function, genetic and chromosomal factors, and a pelvic ultrasound to check the shape of your uterus, with further imaging if needed.
What's included:
- Antiphospholipid syndrome and clotting screen
- Thyroid function and other relevant hormonal testing
- Genetic and chromosomal assessment, for you and your partner where indicated
- Pelvic ultrasound to assess the shape and structure of your uterus
Support through your next pregnancy
If a treatable cause is found — such as antiphospholipid syndrome or a uterine abnormality — we’ll talk through the evidence-based treatment options available, from aspirin and blood-thinning medication to surgery where appropriate. For some couples, no single cause is ever found; when that happens, we’re honest about it, and focus on the early pregnancy monitoring and support that can make the next attempt feel less frightening — appropriate blood tests, ultrasound monitoring and specialist review, from as early as you want it.
Why women and couples trust LUNA with recurrent miscarriage care:
- Investigation that follows RCOG guidance, not guesswork
- Honesty when no clear cause is found, alongside real emotional support
- Continuity of care into your next pregnancy, with early monitoring when you need it most

Frequently Asked Questions
How many miscarriages before I should be investigated?
UK guidance generally recommends investigation after three or more consecutive early miscarriages, but we understand that waiting can feel unbearable — we’re happy to see you sooner for reassurance and initial assessment.
What if my tests come back normal?
It’s not uncommon, and it doesn’t mean nothing can be done. We’ll talk through what supportive care and early monitoring can offer in your next pregnancy, honestly and without false promises.
Is antiphospholipid syndrome treatable?
Yes — it’s usually managed with low-dose aspirin and blood-thinning injections during pregnancy, which have been shown to meaningfully improve outcomes for many women.
Can you monitor me early if I conceive again?
Yes, this is exactly what our early pregnancy support is for — blood tests, ultrasound monitoring and specialist review, as early and as often as you need.
Do both partners need to be tested?
Sometimes, particularly for genetic and chromosomal testing — your consultant will explain what’s relevant to your specific situation.
You don't have to face this alone.
