WHAT TO DO:
See your gynecologist specialist as soon as you missed period and confirmed positive pregnancy test.
Refrain from sexual intercourse until you get further advice from your doctor.
Have your doctor perform a very careful evaluation, thorough examination and relevant laboratory investigation to find any possible cause. Sometimes your doctor will be able to identify the cause right away, but occasionally it will be harder because it may be due to genetic or chromosomal defects or there may be multiple factors interacting.
Some of the treatment approach is scientific especially if your doctor detects any disease in the uterus or ovaries, such as endometriosis with retroverted uterus, fibroids, polycystic ovaries, infections in the blood such as CMV virus, toxoplasmosis. These conditions are treated surgically or appropriate medications.
Ask your doctor about therapy focused on improving a patients' immunity by giving some immune boosters and supplements. This is a fresh food and fertility diet. One of the factors that may be causing miscarriage is low immunity and excessive toxins in the body. As such, increasing antioxidants and high dose vitamins C, E, will help.
Improve your environment. Do this with the aim of reducing physical and mental stress especially work related. Reduce exposure to external toxins, pollutants, and dangerous chemicals.
Ask about hormone support. One of the factors causing early miscarriage may be a lack of progesterone.
A progesterone hormone in the form of injection or tablets in the first 3 months of pregnancy may help.
Take multivitamins. Suitable ones include folic acid , vitamin C 1 gram, and vitamin E 400-800 IU daily.
Use immune boosters. Black seeds (habbatus sauda), antioxidants derived from fruits, berries and vegetable extracts.
Get enough rest. Rest is crucial. Be liberal about it, take maximum rest, and if necessary, stay in bed. Hospitalize if need be, especially where you've had recurrent miscarriages. At the very least, stay at home.
Avoid exposure to insecticides, chemical sprays (disinfectant, deodorant etc), paints, gaseous fumes. Minimize the use of plastic and Styrofoam utensils.
Cut down caffeine and even tea. Why not try coconut water.
TIPS:
- For those who are obese and with pre-existing PCOS, try Metformin 500mg in the first 3 months of pregnancy. Cut down carbohydrates and sugar. No fast and junk foods
- Use the prone position when lying down if you have a retroverted uterus and not yet corrected, put pillow below your tummy. Spend 10-15 minutes in that position at about 10-11 am. 3-4 pm and half hour before sleep.
- Have lots of relaxation, meditation. Be positive in your thinking, and get rid of all forms of negativity.

Ok, but how about vitamin C? Actually, even folic acid consumption must be discussed with your doctor. In combination with other most common vitamins it might cause very severe side effects including allergy.

Never take ANY vitamin/substitutes/medications without first consulting with your
Doctor! Something seemingly benign could be a cause of a problem!
Rest and proper medical supervision are the key!
(folic acid might be the only exempt from the rule)
