What Could be Causing Miscarriages?

What Causes Miscarriages?

Miscarriages can have various causes, ranging in severity from 'worrying' to 'life-threatening'. Finding the true cause means ruling out or confirming each possibility – in other words, diagnosis.

Diagnosis is usually a complex process due to the sheer number of possible causes and related symptoms. In order to diagnose miscarriages, we could:

Research the topic
Find a doctor with the time
Use a diagnostic computer system.

The process is the same, whichever method is used.

Step 1: List all Possible Causes

We begin by identifying the disease conditions which have "miscarriages" as a symptom. Here are eight possibilities (more below):

Adrenal Fatigue
Hypercoagulation
Anorexia/Starvation Tendency
Endometriosis
Fibroids
Miscarriages
Low Progesterone
Hypothyroidism

Step 2: Build a Symptom Checklist

We then identify all possible symptoms and risk factors of each possible cause, and check the ones that apply:

minor joint pain/swelling/stiffness

fatigue after slight exertion

weak urine stream

pear-shaped body when overweight

hot flashes during & after period

low progesterone level

unusual vaginal bleeding

hair loss on lower legs

regular postprandial somnolence

Addison's disease

constant thirst

chronic thyroiditis

... and more than 130 others

Step 3: Rule Out or Confirm each Possible Cause

A differential diagnosis of your symptoms and risk factors finds the likely cause of miscarriages:

Cause	Probability	Status
Adrenal Fatigue	99%	Confirm
Endometriosis	21%	Unlikely
Hypercoagulation	20%	Unlikely
Anorexia/Starvation Tendency	3%	Ruled out
Fibroids	3%	Ruled out
Miscarriages	1%	Ruled out
Hypothyroidism	0%	Ruled out
Low Progesterone	0%	Ruled out

* This is a simple example to illustrate the process

Arriving at a Correct Diagnosis

The Analyst™ is our online diagnosis tool that learns all about you through a straightforward process of multi-level questioning, providing diagnosis at the end.

If you indicate having been pregnant but not now or being pregnant again, The Analyst™ will ask further questions including this one:

Have you had any miscarriages?

Possible responses:

→ None / don't know
→ Probably, or too early to be sure
→ Yes, early in pregnancy
→ Yes, one later than second month of pregnancy
→ Two or more after second month

Based on your response to this question, which may indicate probable miscarriage, early term miscarriage or late term miscarriage, The Analyst™ will consider possibilities such as:

Hypothyroidism

Low Adrenal Function / Adrenal Insufficiency

Susceptibility To Miscarriages

Susceptibility To Miscarriages also suggests the following possibilities:

Endometriosis

Fibroids

Submucous fibroids are the type that most commonly cause significant problems; even small tumors located in or bulging into the uterine cavity may cause heavy bleeding, anemia, pain, infertility or miscarriage.

Hypercoagulation (Thickened Blood)

Progesterone Low or Estrogen Dominance

Anorexia / Starvation Tendency

Anorexia or starvation causes difficulties in conceiving and carrying a baby to term.
