Rodeffer and her husband Tyler spent almost four years trying to conceive -- a painful time that involved three miscarriages, a diagnosis of male factor infertility and severe endometriosis and surgery to remove a large ovarian cyst.
The present medical recommendation is to wait until a woman has experienced three concurrent miscarriages, before a diagnosis of recurrent miscarriage is made and investigations undertaken to identify possible causative factors [ 13].
Exclusion criteria are: a) Unable to speak English or Danish; these are excluded because of the requirement to complete assessments, b) Miscarriage, c) Maternal diagnosis of Autistic Spectrum Disorder, d) Alcohol or drug dependency being the primary diagnosis.
In our sample, perceived characteristics of the innovation were about both the device and procedure (MVA) and about the diagnosis (miscarriage).
For women who are found to have gestational sac or embryo measurements below or around the cut-off values that we have shown define miscarriage, a definitive diagnosis of miscarriage will only be made after a second scan has been carried out at an interval.
These variables and number of previous miscarriages, birth order, diagnosis of Down's syndrome at birth, method of feeding, and number of children and adults in the household were categorized as in Table 1-wrap>.
We have also shown that aspects of guidance to make a diagnosis of miscarriage currently provided by national bodies may be associated with misdiagnosis of miscarriage in some cases.
A prior study validated the diagnosis of miscarriage in the DNPR and found a PPV of 97.4%.
