Recurring miscarriages test

A second opinion service - Free of charge

We offer a second opinion service where you can send us your hormone test results, sperm test results and other results. We offers our opinion based on our longstanding experience in this field on the phone. It will not be a face-to-face medical consultation.

Why you may wish to do this test?

Recurring miscarriages, defined as the loss of 3 or more consecutive pregnancies, affects 1% of couples trying to conceive. It has been estimated that 1–2% of second-trimester pregnancies miscarry before 24 weeks of gestation.

In Western medicine, doctors may suggest tests, which tend to be of a genetic nature. The assumption is that the cause of miscarriages have some kind of genetic origin. Another emerging test suggested is the killer cells tests. 

At TCM Healthcare, we go back to basics and suggest patients do some basic reproductive hormone tests to start with. The reasons are twofold.

Firstly, we have found that in more than 90% of cases, basic reproductive hormone tests have either not been done, or not done properly, i.e. done on the wrong date or some key hormones, like oestradiol or testosterone, are missing.

Secondly, when the basic reproductive tests are carried out, the results show that some, or all, the hormones are at the wrong level.

Our treatment for miscarriages simply aim to re-balance the hormones. When the hormones become more balanced, successful pregnancies occur in many cases.
