Types of Miscarriage:

  • Biochemical pregnancy.
  • Blighted ovum.
  • Presence of an embryo but no fetal heartbeat.
  • Loss of fetal heartbeat after it initially appears.

Eight Common Causes of Miscarriage:

  1. Chromosomal abnormalities.
  2. Anatomical issues with reproductive organs.
  3. Endocrine disorders.
  4. Infections.
  5. Thrombophilic conditions (tendency for blood clots).
  6. Immune system problems.
  7. Maternal systemic diseases or environmental factors.
  8. Issues with sperm quality from the male partner.

IVF is a treatment designed to help couples who struggle with infertility conceive. However, whether it can address miscarriage depends on the underlying cause:

  1. Chromosomal Abnormalities: Miscarriages caused by chromosomal issues can be avoided through preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) during IVF.
  2. Other Causes: If the miscarriage is due to other factors, even with IVF assistance, it is crucial to address the root causes—such as immune disorders or thrombophilic conditions—alongside the IVF treatment to prevent future miscarriages.
