Miscarriage, Recurrent Pregnancy Loss & Ectopic Pregnancy: Your Questions Answered

A positive pregnancy test is supposed to be the beginning of an exciting chapter—but for nearly one in four pregnancies, it ends in loss. And despite how common miscarriage is, so many women are left feeling blindsided, isolated, and convinced they somehow did something wrong. In this episode, Dr. Lucky Sekhon and Dr. Alicia Robbins answer the questions every woman has about miscarriage, recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL), and ectopic pregnancy. They explain what actually causes miscarriage, why most early pregnancy losses are due to chromosomal abnormalities—not anything you ate, lifted, or stressed about.  The conversation also takes a deep dive into ectopic pregnancy explaining what it is, why it can become life-threatening, the warning signs that should never be ignored, and how doctors diagnose and treat it with medication or surgery. Finally, they discuss what physical and emotional recovery after pregnancy loss really looks like, when it's safe to try again, and why hope is still incredibly justified, even after recurrent miscarriages. IF YOU’RE TEXTING YOUR FRIENDS LIKE... You: Why did this happen... did I do something wrong? Also You: How many miscarriages before doctors actually start testing? 3AM You: Okay... how do I know this isn't an ectopic pregnancy??? IF YOUR GOOGLE SEARCH HISTORY LOOKS LIKE THIS… What causes a miscarriage? Is miscarriage my fault? When should I see a fertility specialist after miscarriage? What is recurrent pregnancy loss? How many miscarriages before testing? Can sperm cause miscarriage? What is an ectopic pregnancy? What are the warning signs of an ectopic pregnancy? How is an ectopic pregnancy treated? When can I try to get pregnant after a miscarriage? Can I get pregnant after an ectopic pregnancy? Does having a miscarriage affect future fertility? How do you emotionally recover after pregnancy loss? YOU’VE COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE! Let’s continue the conversation!
