For years, women have been told to wait until they’ve had three consecutive miscarriages before any proper investigation begins. This “rule of three” is something we see all too often—and it frustrates us deeply. Because this isn’t just a number. It’s three devastating losses, three emotional rollercoasters, and three missed chances to identify and resolve the issue earlier.

Let us be clear: There is no scientific or ethical justification for waiting until three miscarriages to start testing. This policy isn’t medically sound—it’s economically motivated. It was created within national healthcare systems to manage budgets, not to protect your future family. It’s a cost-control method disguised as a care standard. Especially when private, self-funded testing options are available.

Waiting for three miscarriages isn’t just emotionally damaging. It can also cost you time, fertility potential, and reproductive health. Conditions like chronic endometritis, infections, and inflammation may worsen when left undiagnosed.

If you’re in your 30s or early 40s, time is precious. Delaying testing because of an outdated protocol could steal the very fertility window you’re fighting to preserve. And let’s not ignore the emotional toll. The trauma of recurrent pregnancy loss doesn’t build in a straight line—it compounds, layer by layer.

We’re no longer in an era where unexplained losses have to stay unexplained. Reproductive science has advanced. Today, we can test much earlier—even after just one miscarriage. At Fertilysis, we believe you deserve answers now, not after a “policy-approved” amount of pain.

Our comprehensive suite of diagnostic options includes:

• Fertilysis RPL Panel: Includes reproductive immunology, HLA/KIR typing, NK cells, Th1/Th2 profiling, and more.
• Female Microbiome Test: Detects hidden infections and dysbiosis often missed by standard swabs.
• Vaginal Inflammation Index: Early immune dysregulation detection.
• Thrombophilia & Autoimmune Screening: To identify clotting disorders and antibodies.
• Male Microbiome & DNA Fragmentation Tests: Because male factor contribution in infertility is real and underdiagnosed.

• Expert consultations to interpret your results
• Personalized treatment plans and prescription support
• Advanced therapies like LIT, PRP, and intrauterine washes

The outdated “wait for three” rule may still appear in handbooks—but you don’t have to follow it. If you’ve experienced one loss, that is already enough reason to investigate.

Modern fertility care should be personalized, proactive, and precise.

Yes, some women go on to have healthy pregnancies after one loss. But if your instinct says something’s wrong—trust it. You shouldn’t need to justify your need for answers with three painful events.

So should you wait until you’ve had three miscarriages? No. Not unless you believe bureaucracy knows your body better than you do.
