How to Cope up with multiple miscarriages

Recurrent miscarriage is defined as two or more consecutive, spontaneous pregnancy losses. Approximately 15% of pregnancies end in miscarriage, which is defined as the loss of a pregnancy before 20 weeks of gestation. Most miscarriages occur within the first 12 weeks of gestation.

Women with certain conditions may also have an increased risk for recurrent miscarriages. Antiphospholipid syndrome, diabetes mellitus , thyroid conditions, and polycystic ovarian syndrome are all relatively common potential causes in this category.

Most of these above conditions are treatable when diagnosed early.

Symptoms of Ovulation

The length of the menstrual cycle varies from woman to woman, but the average is to have periods every 28 days. Regular cycles that are longer or shorter than this from 21 to 40 days, are normal.
When are you most fertile ?
Theoretically, there’s only a short time when woman can get pregnant, and that is the time around ovulation. It’s difficult to pinpoint exactly when ovulation happens but in most women, it happens around 10 to 16 days before the next period. It’s not accurate to say that all women are fertile on day 14 of the menstrual cycle. This might be true for woman who have a regular, 28-day cycle,but it won’t apply to women whose cycles are shorter or longer.
If you have regular cycles and yet trouble conceiving within first 1 year of your marriage :

• Q- IS there a condition where the AMH Value Will be raised?
• A – Yes, this typically occurs in cases of PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome). AMH Values more than 10 may be associated with poor Egg Quality.
