Recurring Miscarriage
Root-cause functional medicine care — not just symptom management. Lia Laterza, LAc works with you to find what's actually driving your recurring miscarriage.
In-person & virtual consultations available
Recurring miscarriage — defined as two or more pregnancy losses — is one of the most heartbreaking experiences a person can go through. And yet conventional medicine often offers little beyond chromosomal testing and watchful waiting. At Muskego Acupuncture & Wellness, we take a thorough functional medicine approach to recurrent pregnancy loss: investigating thyroid antibodies, progesterone levels, clotting factors, immune dysregulation, nutrient deficiencies, and uterine environment — and building a protocol designed to support a healthy pregnancy from the very beginning.
Who It's For
This may be right for you if…
- You have experienced two or more miscarriages and want answers beyond standard testing
- Your losses have been early — before 10 weeks — and you have been told chromosomes were normal
- You have been told your recurrent losses are unexplained
- You have low progesterone, thyroid antibodies, or clotting concerns that have not been fully addressed
- You are afraid to try again without a more thorough investigation and a supportive protocol
- You want to work with a practitioner who will take your losses seriously and look at the full picture
- You are preparing for another pregnancy and want to optimize every factor within your control
Our Approach
How We Support Recurring Miscarriage Through Functional Medicine
We combine modern lab-based diagnostics with Traditional Chinese Medicine and personalized protocols to address the root cause — not just the symptoms.
Why Conventional Medicine Falls Short
Conventional medicine isn't designed to find the root cause.
Do any of these sound familiar?
- Your lab results are "normal", but you struggle daily with symptoms that affect your quality of life
- You've seen multiple doctors and are no closer to getting answers or relief
- Your physical and mental health keeps you from living life the way you want to
- Your doctor has told you "you'll just have to live with it"
- You're looking for an option besides prescription medications or invasive surgery
- You're beginning to wonder if you'll ever feel like yourself again
You're not alone. Most care models focus on symptoms — not systems — and they often miss the full picture, relying on generalized protocols that don't work for everyone.
Schedule a ConsultationWe Do Things Different Here
Most care treats the symptom. We find what's driving it.
Most practices choose one lens to look through. We use two — because your body doesn't separate its systems, and neither should your care.
Functional Medicine
We look beyond symptoms to find their root cause — testing hormones, gut health, and metabolic markers to understand what's really happening in your body. Instead of managing symptoms indefinitely, we build a personalized plan aimed at resolving the underlying imbalance.
Traditional Chinese Medicine
Thousands of years of clinical observation inform how we read the body's patterns — energy, circulation, and organ systems working together. Acupuncture, herbs, and lifestyle practices help restore balance and support your body's own healing response.
At Muskego Acupuncture & Wellness, we combine both — modern lab-based diagnostics with time-tested Eastern medicine — because using them together consistently produces more complete, more lasting results than either approach alone.

Common questions
How many miscarriages before I should seek investigation?
Conventional medicine typically waits for three losses before investigating. We do not believe in waiting. Two losses warrant a thorough investigation — and even one loss in the context of other symptoms or risk factors is worth evaluating.
My chromosomes were normal — why did I miscarry?
Chromosomally normal losses are often driven by implantation failure, immune dysregulation, progesterone insufficiency, clotting factors, or uterine environment issues. These are exactly the factors we investigate when standard testing comes back normal.
Is it safe to try again after multiple losses?
Yes — but we recommend addressing the identified factors before your next attempt. The goal is not to wait indefinitely, but to optimize the conditions for a successful pregnancy before trying again.
