Questions for your doctor about miscarriage

Preparing questions in advance can help patients have more meaningful discussions with their physicians regarding their conditions. Women may wish to ask their doctor or healthcare professional the following questions regarding miscarriage:

  1. Am I at higher risk for miscarriage?

  2. How will I know if I’m experiencing a miscarriage?

  3. Can I do anything to stop a miscarriage once I develop symptoms?

  4. What tests will be used following my miscarriage?

  5. Can these tests help diagnose the reason for my miscarriage?

  6. Will I need to undergo any surgery?

  7. How soon can I try to conceive after experiencing miscarriage?

  8. How will my miscarriage affect my fertility?

  9. Am I at greater risk for another miscarriage?

  10. Is there any treatment for recurrent miscarriages?

  11. Can I do anything to prevent another miscarriage?

  12. Can you recommend a support group for us?
