Talk: Is there a place for progesterone in the management of miscarriage?

Miscarriage is the commonest complication in pregnancy. One in four pregnancies ends this way. The physical experience can be awful in itself, but in the words of a patient, “the grief of miscarriage can last forever.”

The commonest question for women who have experienced miscarriage is simple–why did it happen? The answer is rarely apparent.

Many so-called “treatments” to prevent miscarriage are unproven. But recent research suggests some miscarriages may be prevented with progesterone.

In this talk for clinicians, I explored the most recent evidence.
