Abstract
The majority of miscarriages are sporadic and most result from genetic causes that are greatly influenced by maternal age. Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is defined by two or more failed clinical pregnancies, and up to 50% of cases of RPL will not have a clearly defined etiology.
Miscarriage affects approximately 15% of clinically confirmed pregnancies. Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL), defined as two or more clinical losses, affects 2 to 5% of couples. Most causes are diagnosable and treatable. This guide covers what the standard workup misses, what RRM-trained clinicians evaluate, and what outcomes look like after cause-based treatment.
