Pregnancy loss is a frustrating and challenging problem for couples and clinicians alike.
More recently, many practitioners will initiate the same evaluation after two losses when the maternal age is 35 or greater. When in doubt, this issue should be discussed directly with your physician. The physical, emotional, and financial toll of pregnancy loss is large. The grief process and the period of grieving time that is necessary varies dramatically but is often minimized by spouse, family, friends, and physicians. The emotional issues surrounding pregnancy loss become magnified exponentially when miscarriage occurs on a repetitive basis.
