title: Recurrent spontaneous abortion.
abstract: The patient with recurrent pregnancy loss is often frustrated and on the verge of despair. Evaluation can sometimes take several visits, allowing the physician the time and opportunity to provide emotional support to the couple. With proper evaluation and therapy, the majority of patients will become pregnant. For those who have exhausted diagnostic and treatment options, the physician should encourage consideration of assisted reproductive technologies or adoption.
