How is the Diagnosis of Recurrent Miscarriage Made?
The diagnosis of recurrent miscarriage is not made until a woman has lost at least three pregnancies in a row. If a miscarriage is suspected, your health care provider will obtain a medical history, identify your symptoms and do a pelvic exam to check the size of the uterus. An ultrasound may be ordered to look for fetal viability. Blood tests can be done to measure pregnancy hormone levels, which increase at a particular rate during a normal pregnancy. If a woman experiences recurrent miscarriage, various tests may be recommended to determine the cause.
