Unfortunately, sometimes it is unknown what cause a miscarriage. However, there are some things that can increase your chances of having one. For example, women who are over the age of 35 have a great chance of having a miscarriage than women who are under this age. Research shows that some women even struggle with miscarriages when their partner is older.
Previous miscarriages can also cause women to be more likely to have a miscarriage in the future. If you have already had more than one miscarriage, you are more likely to have them in the future. Medical conditions can also make it easier to have a miscarriage. For example, women who have uncontrolled diabetes have a greater chance of having a miscarriage. This is also true for women with cervical issues.
Finally, women who do not take care of their health are also more likely to have a miscarriage. These are women who take drugs, smoke or drink alcohol. Those who use these things excessively are especially prone to having a miscarriage.
As before mentioned, the older you are, the greater chance you have of having a miscarriage. However, here is the breakdown by age of your chances of having a miscarriage.
- Less than 30 – 8% risk
- Between 30 and 35 – 12% risk
- Age 35 – 20% risk
- Age 40 – 40% risk
- Age 45 – 80% risk
Some of the age related risks can be avoided when you choose to rely on donor eggs rather than your own. Donor eggs are those purchased from another woman and fertilized in the lab. You can either use your partner’s sperm for this process or purchase donor sperm. The embryo is then placed back into your uterus in the hopes that it will attach to your uterine lining. However, if your uterine lining is the cause of your miscarriages, this will not be effective.
In many instances, avoiding a miscarriage isn’t possible. If you are experiencing recurrent miscarriages, your doctor may be able to find the cause of the issue and correct it. For the most part, women usually are able to go on and have a successful pregnancy after a miscarriage.
