Recovery after miscarriage
After a miscarriage, recovery looks different for every woman. That is why we always begin with an individual assessment of your situation.
Here’s what we often hear
I’ve had several miscarriages and no one can tell me why.
Every positive test now comes with fear instead of joy.
At the hospital they said all the tests were normal and that they don’t know why it happened.
After my last loss, I don’t know if I dare try again.
A Different Perspective on Recurrent Miscarriage
We always encourage women who have experienced miscarriage to undergo a medical investigation first. Our care complements, rather than replaces, conventional medicine. If there is an underlying cause that can be identified and treated medically, that should always come first.
Many women who come to us have already completed these investigations. Some are told that no clear cause can be found, while others receive a diagnosis but are informed that there are no further treatments available to reduce the risk of another miscarriage.
This is where our work begins. Traditional Chinese medicine approaches recurrent miscarriage through a different framework, assessing patterns in areas such as the menstrual cycle, sleep, digestion, body temperature, energy and stress. It offers another perspective, not a replacement for medical diagnosis.
We are happy to include your previous medical investigations as part of our assessment. During your consultation, we will review your history, explain our approach, and discuss whether our programme may be appropriate for you.
How Chinese medicine sees a miscarriage
A miscarriage can affect the body in different ways. For some women, the next pregnancy comes quickly, while others find it takes longer before the body feels recovered, or before they conceive again.
Some women have been through a late miscarriage, a surgical procedure to clear the womb, or lost a lot of blood. Others have had several miscarriages, or feel uncertain about trying again. That is why there is no standard approach that suits everyone.
In traditional Chinese medicine, a miscarriage is understood to leave the body depleted. Energy is weakened, and for some women there is a significant loss of blood as well. Both are seen as needing to be replenished before the body is ready for anything else. That is where our work is focused in the weeks after the miscarriage, with herbal formulas composed individually and adapted to your health.
How we work after a miscarriage
What the support looks like varies from woman to woman, but our approach usually follows three broad steps.
Step 1 – Understanding where your body is now
If the miscarriage was recent, we start by assessing how your body is recovering. We go through your medical history, your symptoms and your current health to build a complete picture of the recovery phase.
Step 2 – Supporting energy and blood
After a miscarriage, the body may need time to rebuild. In traditional Chinese medicine, we often work to support the recovery of the body’s energy and blood before shifting focus to the next pregnancy.
Step 3 – Looking ahead to trying again
When you feel ready to try again, the focus shifts. Based on your individual assessment we compose personalised herbal formulas, adapted and adjusted continuously as your health changes.
Your individual assessment
No two women are in the same position after a miscarriage. That is why we always begin with a thorough individual assessment.
We go through more than 100 questions covering things like previous pregnancies, your menstrual cycle, sleep, energy, digestion, stress, earlier fertility investigations and anything else that may be relevant to your health.
From there we stay in close contact. We reassess every week to ten days and adjust your herbal formula each time, based on what has changed.
