From Blame to Biology: The True Story Behind Repeated Miscarriages

4 March 2026 3 min readBy Santaan Fertility Center and Research Institute

In the coastal villages of Bharat, repeated miscarriages are often cruelly blamed on “bad luck” or the “evil eye.” This post explores the biological reality behind Recurrent Pregnancy Loss (RPL), why the womb sometimes “lets go” early in the journey and how advanced XAI helps secure the fragile thread of life.

The Story: Meet Sumitra

Sumitra (30), from a fishing community in Puri, Odisha, knew how to mend a torn net perfectly. Yet, she felt her own body was a net that couldn’t hold its most precious catch. Three times, Sumitra had seen the two pink lines on a pregnancy test. Three times, her joy was cut short within the first two months.

In her village, whispers blamed “destiny” or “the evil eye.” Sumitra carried a heavy, silent guilt, believing she was somehow failing her babies. She didn’t realise that her heart was willing, but a tiny, invisible biological miscommunication was causing the “lifeline” between her and the embryo to break.

The Causes

Getting pregnant is only the first step; staying pregnant requires a complex, delicate dance between the mother’s blood and the embryo. When a pregnancy is repeatedly lost, it is rarely due to stress or physical work. It usually comes down to:

The “Thick Blood” Factor (Thrombophilia): Tiny, microscopic blood clots form in the delicate new vessels connecting the mother to the baby, cutting off the oxygen and nutrient supply.

The Immune Shield: The mother’s immune system, designed to fight off infections, mistakenly identifies the new embryo as a “foreign” threat and mounts a defence against it.

Chromosomal Misfires: Sometimes, the “blueprint” inside the specific egg or sperm used that month had an accidental error, and nature gently stops the process early.

What Tests Matter

Standard pregnancy blood tests do not look for these hidden roadblocks. We must look at the body’s internal environment.

Advanced Clotting Panel: To check if the blood tends to form micro-clots too easily during the hormonal shifts of pregnancy.

Immune Marker Assessment: Checking for specific antibodies that signal the immune system is on high alert.

XAI Vascular Mapping: At Santaan, we use predictive AI modelling to monitor the blood flow resistance in the uterus before and during early pregnancy, identifying risks before they cause a loss.

Treatment Options

The “Lifeline” Protectors: Using safe, low-dose blood thinners (like baby aspirin or tiny daily injections) to keep the blood flowing smoothly to the growing embryo.

Immune Calming Protocols: Precision therapies to “quiet” the immune system so it welcomes the embryo instead of attacking it.

XAI-Guided Early Monitoring: Closely tracking the pregnancy during the fragile first 12 weeks with AI-enhanced scans to adjust support dynamically.

FAQ

• Is it my fault that I miscarried?

Absolutely not. Recurrent loss is a medical condition driven by biology, blood flow, or genetics, not by your daily activities or thoughts.

• If I have lost three pregnancies, can I still have a healthy baby?

Yes. With the right diagnosis and precision medical support, the vast majority of women with RPL go on to have successful, healthy deliveries.

• Are the blood-thinning injections safe for the baby?

Yes, they are specifically designed to be safe during pregnancy and actually protect the baby by ensuring a steady flow of nutrients.

You do not have to accept heartbreak as your destiny.
