Concern

Miscarriage Recovery — Marylebone, London

Combined manual lymphatic drainage, acupuncture, and nutritional support for women recovering from miscarriage — physical and emotional. Trauma-aware care from Claudia Ferreira (MBAcC, postgraduate TCM Gynaecology & Obstetrics).

Book Consultation
Miscarriage occurs in roughly 1 in 4 confirmed pregnancies in the UK. Most are sporadic, single events; recurrent miscarriage (≥2 losses) affects about 1% of couples and warrants a full RCOG-aligned workup. Body Perfected supports the physical recovery — restoring cycle regulation, replenishing nutritional reserves, addressing the lingering pelvic discomfort or post-surgical residual after ERPC — alongside the emotional weight of loss. Integrative care never replaces gynaecology investigation for recurrent miscarriage; we work alongside your GP, EPU, or specialist clinic.

What drives this concern

  • Chromosomal abnormality in the embryo — by far the most common cause of single early-pregnancy losses
  • Maternal age — risk rises sharply after age 35 due to egg-quality factors
  • Antiphospholipid syndrome and other thrombophilias — a treatable cause of recurrent loss
  • Uterine structural anomalies (septate uterus, fibroids, adhesions)
  • Chronic endometritis — low-grade uterine infection
  • Untreated thyroid disease, poorly controlled diabetes, or coeliac disease
  • Lifestyle inputs — heavy smoking, alcohol, very high BMI, environmental toxins

Common
questions

When should I come in after a miscarriage?

There is no single right time. Many clients come within 2 to 4 weeks of the physical event for cycle support and to address ongoing bleeding or pelvic pain; others come once they are ready to think about trying again. We follow your lead. Anyone still bleeding heavily, in significant pain, or under EPU follow-up should complete that medical pathway first.

Will integrative care prevent another miscarriage?

No-one can guarantee that. The integrative role is to address the modifiable factors — nutritional status, sleep, stress, cycle regulation — and to coordinate with the RCOG-aligned recurrent-miscarriage workup if you have had ≥2 losses. Most subsequent pregnancies after one or two losses are successful without further intervention.

Should I have investigations after a miscarriage?

NHS practice typically investigates after 3 consecutive miscarriages; private practice often offers it after 2. RCOG-aligned testing covers antiphospholipid syndrome, thrombophilia screen, parental karyotyping, uterine imaging, and (in some clinics) chronic endometritis biopsy. We can suggest sensible questions for your GP or specialist.

How long should I wait before trying again?

WHO once recommended 6 months but newer evidence — including a large 2017 study in BMJ Open — shows trying within 6 months is associated with a higher live-birth rate than longer waits, with no increase in repeat-miscarriage risk. The decision is personal and should be made with your GP if there are medical reasons to delay.
