Recurrent Loss & Diagnostic Workups

Advanced Reproductive Testing for Women Seeking Answers

When you’ve experienced repeated miscarriages or months of failed conception attempts, “just keep trying” isn’t helpful advice — you deserve clarity.

At Cheval Wellness, we provide a compassionate and science-driven approach to advanced reproductive diagnostics.

Our goal is to identify the root causes of recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL), hormonal imbalance, or implantation failure — empowering you to move forward with informed next steps and renewed confidence.

Advanced Reproductive Concerns: Finding Answers Before Intervention

This program is designed for women and couples who have faced:

  • Two or more miscarriages
  • Unexplained infertility after 6–12 months of trying
  • Irregular or short luteal phases
  • Known endometriosis or uterine fibroids
  • Male factor concerns

By addressing these complex but common barriers early, we help optimize your body — and your plan — before moving to high-complexity fertility treatments.

Recurrent Pregnancy Loss (RPL) Workup

Repeated miscarriage can result from a range of factors — hormonal, genetic, autoimmune, or structural.

Our RPL panel evaluates each of these areas to provide a clear, data-driven foundation for your next steps.

What We Test and Why It Matters

Category Tests Performed Purpose

Hormonal Balance

Progesterone, Estradiol, Thyroid panel (TSH, Free T3, Free T4, antibodies)
Ensures optimal luteal support and thyroid health for implantation

Clotting & Autoimmune Factors

 

Antiphospholipid antibody panel, Factor V Leiden, Prothrombin mutation, Lupus anticoagulant
Detects blood-clotting or immune issues that can disrupt early pregnancy

Genetic Screening

Karyotype testing for both partners (ordered through lab partner)
Identifies chromosomal translocations or abnormalities that may cause recurrent loss

Nutritional & Inflammatory Markers

Vitamin D, B12, homocysteine, CRP
Addresses systemic inflammation and nutrient deficiencies tied to miscarriage risk

After testing, your provider explains each result in context — clarifying whether a finding is clinically significant, borderline, or benign — and builds a personalized plan that may include hormone therapy, anti-inflammatory support, or coordinated referral to a reproductive endocrinologist (RE).

Male Factor Infertility Screening

Infertility is not solely a women’s issue — male factors contribute to roughly 40 percent of cases.

At Cheval Wellness, we screen for these concerns early to avoid unnecessary delays or procedures.

Our Male Factor Protocol Includes:

  • Semen Analysis: Ordered through a partner lab to assess count, motility, morphology, and volume.

  • Hormonal Evaluation (as needed): Checking testosterone, FSH, and prolactin levels when indicated.
  • Lifestyle & Nutrient Review: Guidance on reducing heat exposure, oxidative stress, and nutritional deficiencies affecting sperm quality.
  • Specialist Referral: If abnormalities are detected, we refer to a trusted
  • Urologist or Andrology specialist for further evaluation or treatment.

This proactive approach ensures that both partners receive balanced attention — improving overall fertility outcomes.

Endometriosis & Fibroid Pre-Treatment

Structural and inflammatory conditions such as endometriosis and uterine fibroids can significantly affect implantation and embryo development.

While surgical management may fall outside primary NP scope, Cheval Wellness plays a critical diagnostic and preparatory role in identifying and managing these conditions early.

This integrated model ensures you enter surgery (if needed) with stable hormones and an optimized uterine environment — improving recovery and future conception potential.

Our Approach:

1. Clinical Evaluation & Symptom Review:

Assessing pain patterns, cycle irregularities, or heavy bleeding that may suggest endometriosis or fibroids.

2. Hormone and Inflammatory Testing:

Evaluating estrogen dominance, progesterone balance, and markers of inflammation.

3. Ultrasound or Imaging Referral:

Partnering with gynecologic specialists for visualization of fibroids, cysts, or endometrial lesions.

4. Medical Management (as appropriate):
  • Hormonal modulation using bioidentical progesterone or other therapies to reduce estrogen dominance.
  • Anti-inflammatory nutritional support and stress regulation.
  •  
5. Surgical Coordination:

For patients requiring excision or myomectomy, we coordinate care with reproductive surgeons and continue pre- and post-operative hormonal optimization.

Integrating Findings into a Fertility Plan

Once all diagnostics are complete, we compile your results into a comprehensive fertility summary, outlining:

  • Identified causes or contributing factors
  • Recommended hormonal or nutritional interventions
  • Timelines for re-testing or specialist referral
  • Lifestyle strategies to reduce recurrence risk

     

Our patients often share that simply understanding why loss occurred brings a profound sense of relief — and renewed hope for what comes next.

When Referral Is Recommended

If testing indicates advanced reproductive pathology — such as severe tubal blockage, repeated failed ovulation induction, or significant chromosomal issues — we refer promptly to a Reproductive Endocrinologist (RE) for:

  • IVF or ICSI treatment
  • Advanced immunologic therapies
  • Surgical intervention for endometriosis or fibroids

We remain an active part of your care team, coordinating hormonal and nutritional optimization before, during, and after specialist treatment.
