Causes & Side Effects
At our clinic we can do a whole range of investigations working through your physiology, hormones and finally your immune system. The tests will enable us to establish exactly what is causing you to miscarry and what treatment we can best provide you with.
It is useful if you bring any test results and documentation that you may have had already.
