Abstract
Recurrent pregnancy loss constitutes 1- 5 % of infertile couples trying to conceive and 12 to 15 % of all pregnancies. A complete evaluation for RPL identifies possible causes in 60 % of couples. Even if the cause remains uncertain after a complete and thorough evaluation, 65 percent of couples do have a successful pregnancy outcome. Identification of the cause, its specific management, thorough counselling, reassurance and follow up of these patients in clinics dedicated to RPL has best pregnancy outcome.
