I had back to back losses. After my missed miscarriage, I knew that I needed to address some issues in my gut (I had norovirus earlier in the year) that had progressively gotten worse. After fixing my gut and reducing my inflammation, I conceived my rainbow baby.
❌You don’t need to have 3 losses to investigate.
❌You don’t need to wait a year before testing
❌Just because you conceive does not rule out your partner’s health
✅don’t wait to test- even basic labs can help identify red flags right off the bat. Anemia, inflammation, vitamin deficiency, metabolic issues can all be checked with simple blood draw
✅Test BOTH partners- it’s very common to see issues with s***m health. This can play a large role in miscarriage. You can order at-home s***m testing from sites like
✅Focus should be on reducing inflammation- inflammation can reduce egg/s***m quality, make it difficult for embryo to implant/progress, and can cause suboptimal hormone levels. Find what’s causing the inflammation.
