In this deeply insightful episode of The Worst Girl Gang Ever, we welcome back Dr. Sami, Fertility Consultant at Plan Your Baby, to unpack a vital but often overlooked factor in recurrent miscarriage and pregnancy loss: blood clotting disorders, also known as thrombophilias.
Dr. Sami explains:
What inherited and acquired clotting disorders are
How conditions like Factor V Leiden, Prothrombin mutations, and Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS) dramatically increase the risk of miscarriage
Why APS is one of the most treatable causes of miscarriage with aspirin and heparin therapy
The shocking statistic: with proper treatment, miscarriage rates can drop from 80% to just 20%
Why many women are told “everything is normal”—and why that may be far from the truth
What you can and should ask for if you’ve had two or more miscarriages
The difference in treatment approaches between NHS vs private fertility care
In this episode, we discuss:
Recurrent miscarriage causes and treatments
Blood clotting and pregnancy loss
APS and miscarriage
Factor V Leiden miscarriage risk
Miscarriage and low-dose aspirin
Heparin in pregnancy
Fertility consultant insights

Safe treatments for preventing miscarriage
