A gentle reminder for anyone on a fertility journey:

Most pregnancies, whether conceived naturally or through fertility treatment, sadly do not result in a live birth. Early pregnancy loss is far more common than people realise, and it often reflects biology rather than anything someone did or didn’t do.

For those trying for pregnancy, understanding miscarriage can bring both clarity and comfort. Yet this topic is often left unspoken, adding to the sense of isolation many feel.

📊 Miscarriage affects around 1 in 5 confirmed pregnancies*. Most occur within the first few weeks and are often due to chromosomal problems in the embryos, that happen by chance.

🧬 While age of parents, certain health conditions, and lifestyle factors can influence the risk, many people with these factors still go on to have healthy pregnancies.

At JIVA Fertility, we’ve shared a clear, compassionate overview of what impacts miscarriage risk, when to seek support, and in certain circumstances, how investigations and early ultrasound scans may help.

🔬 What Is Evidence-Based Fertility Care and Why It Matters?

Evidence-based fertility care means using proven medical research, clinical expertise, and your individual preferences to guide every aspect of your care.

It's a shift from assumptions or trends to clarity, safety, and results you can trust.

🔍 What does this mean for you?
• We rely on scientifically validated treatments, not guesswork
• Every decision is informed by evidence and best practices
• We do not offer unnecessary procedures, but focus on what truly works for your unique journey
• Our team prioritises patient safety, transparency, and ethical care at every step
• We constantly update our knowledge and protocols with the latest advancements in fertility

At JIVA Fertility, we believe every patient deserves the care that’s not just hopeful but proven. Evidence-based fertility care empowers you with clear options to improve your chances of having a family, all while keeping your well-being at the heart of every decision.

💬 “Knowing my treatment was backed by real research, not guesswork, gave me peace of mind throughout the journey.” – JIVA Fertility patient

💛 Thyroid & Fertility: What’s the Connection?

If you're trying to conceive, you might have been told to “watch your thyroid levels.” But what does that really mean? And do borderline results truly affect your chances?

📌 Here’s what the research tells us:

✅ Upper end of normal TSH levels (like 2.5–4.0 mIU/L) usually don’t reduce fertility or increase miscarriage risk in women with no previous evidence of hypothyroidism.

✅ Women with subfertility have slightly higher TSH (>4.0 mIU/L) and these levels can affect fertility treatment outcome

✅ Presence of thyroid peroxidase (TPO) antibodies increase the risk of miscarriage, but the effect on fertility is unknown

✅ Combination of of raised TPO antibodies and TSH levels of >4.0 mIU/L is associated with increased risks of miscarriage and pregnancy complications

✅ Not every thyroid variation needs treatment

✅ A normal thyroid function test in the 12 months preceding conception is important.

At JIVA Fertility, we believe in evidence-based, personalised care, not unnecessary medications or fear over numbers. Your journey is unique, and so is our approach to your health.

Your body does amazing things, and when it comes to fertility, maintaining a healthy weight can make a real difference.

📊 Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measure of whether you are a healthy weight for your height. Both high and low BMI are associated with reduced chances of conception and may affect pregnancy outcomes.

⚖️ High BMI can impair ovulation affecting spontaneous conception, reduce success rates with fertility treatments, and increase the risk of miscarriage, diabetes, and high blood pressure problems in pregnancy.

🍃 Low BMI may disrupt menstrual regularity, reduce spontaneous conception, and is also linked with a higher risk of miscarriage.

👶 Emerging evidence suggests that parental weight may influence early fetal development and long-term child health.

While weight is just one part of a complex picture, supporting your body through safe, sustainable lifestyle changes can have a positive impact on reproductive health for all genders.

Our Dietitian- Nutritionist, Maria Kolotourou, Online Dietitian, brings specialist expertise in women’s health and reproductive nutrition, providing evidence-informed, compassionate approach focusing on building realistic, long-term strategies to optimise fertility and overall wellbeing.

If you would like to understand more about how nutrition and body weight relate to fertility, we are here to help.

🌿 Can Stress Affect Fertility? 🌿

Stress is an inevitable companion of modern life. Its occasional presence may not impair reproductive function. However, when stress becomes chronic, it may influence biological processes that underpin fertility and reproductive health.

Stress may modulate neuro-endocrine pathways, but its overall effect on fertility is likely to be multifactorial.

Sustained physiological stress responses may be associated with a longer time to conception.

Chronic stress may erode resilience, reduce treatment adherence, and amplify the emotional burden of infertility.

The good news is that managing stress not only supports your emotional wellbeing, it can also help your body function at its best.

Here are some gentle ways to support yourself:
✨ Mindfulness and meditation
🏃‍♀️ Regular physical activity
🤝 Talking to a therapist or joining a support group

At JIVA Fertility, we adopt a holistic perspective, recognising that fertility care extends beyond the laboratory and the consultation room. Supporting mental equilibrium is as vital as optimising biological parameters.
