Does a Miscarriage Affect Your Fertility?
Does a Miscarriage Affect Your Fertility?
Let’s get one thing straight from the start: No, a miscarriage doesn’t usually affect your fertility—unless you let fear, shame, or unprocessed grief convince you that it does.
And that? That’s where so many women get stuck—not in a broken body, but in the aftershocks of a heartbreak no one taught them how to hold. A miscarriage can feel like everything is slipping through your fingers. But fertility isn’t a math equation. Your body isn’t a machine. And healing—real, deep, transformational healing—is always possible.
Here’s the truth:
You can absolutely get pregnant again.
You can absolutely feel powerful in your body again.
And you can absolutely come out of this more connected to the version of you that’s meant to be a mother.
But first, let’s talk about what can cause miscarriage—and how to know if your body needs extra support now.
I Know This Path Intimately
I know this fertility journey not just as a coach and healer—but as a woman who’s lived it.
Both of my daughters are rainbow babies, conceived after pregnancy losses that rocked me to my core. I know the heartbreak of seeing two lines…and then watching them disappear. I know the disorienting mix of hope and fear, the obsessive Googling, the anger at your own body, and the silence that makes it all feel worse.
But those losses led me somewhere I never expected:
A journey of deep healing.
Radical self-trust.
And a powerful understanding of how manifestation actually works—not just to call in a baby, but to co-create the life you’re meant for.
This transformation didn’t just bring me my daughters. It brought me back to myself. And it’s the foundation of the work I now do with other women—supporting them in reconnecting with their power, processing the pain, and creating space for the future they long for.
Reasons for Miscarriage
If you’ve been frantically googling things like cause of miscarriage, why do I keep having early miscarriages, or even can I cause a miscarriage?—I see you. The pain of miscarriage can create a vacuum where logic and self-trust disappear. You start questioning everything you’ve done. Everything you are.
Let me be clear:
You didn’t cause this.
Miscarriage is incredibly common, especially in early pregnancy. Most often, the causes of miscarriage stem from genetic or hormonal factors—not anything you did, said, ate, thought, or forgot to do. Despite what the internet might imply, things like lifting something heavy, having sex, or going on a run aren’t to blame. And while the question “Can sperm cause miscarriage in early pregnancy?” pops up a lot, the answer is essentially no—unless there's a very specific medical condition involved, which is rare.
So if you’ve been searching for answers about the causes of recurrent miscarriage, know this: yes, sometimes there’s something concrete and addressable, like uterine abnormalities, autoimmune conditions, or thyroid imbalances. But often, miscarriage is your body’s heartbreaking way of protecting you from a pregnancy that wasn't viable from the start.
Still, it’s essential to ask deeper questions—not to place blame, but to uncover what’s trying to come into balance now.
So why do recurrent miscarriages happen?
There are medical factors that can contribute to repeat pregnancy loss. Common causes of recurrent miscarriage include:
Uterine abnormalities (like fibroids or a septum)
Immune system disorders (such as antiphospholipid syndrome)
Hormonal imbalances (like low progesterone or thyroid dysfunction)
Chromosomal issues with one or both partners
And even then, it’s not always black and white. Sometimes testing reveals answers. Sometimes it doesn’t. That doesn’t mean your body is broken—it means you’re human, and fertility isn’t a formula.
Still, if you’re wondering things like how can I cause a miscarriage? or blaming yourself for things outside your control, please know: This is your grief talking. Not the truth.
Unpacking the Shame
Let’s address the elephant in the room: shame.
Society often treats miscarriage like a taboo. Something whispered about. A personal failing. You’re told not to announce your pregnancy until 12 weeks, “just in case.” And when a loss does happen, the silence is deafening.
But here’s what no one says loud enough: Miscarriage is incredibly common. You are not alone. And you are not to blame.
This culture of secrecy only deepens the wound. You’re allowed to grieve, rage, cry, question everything—and still believe in your body’s wisdom. Healing starts when you let your truth exist, even if it’s messy.
Signs of Hormonal Imbalance After Miscarriage
Now let’s talk about your body. After a miscarriage, your hormones shift dramatically. Depending on how far along you were and how the miscarriage happened (naturally, with medication, or surgically), your system might need time to recalibrate.
These shifts can be confusing—especially if no one’s told you what to expect. Common signs of hormone imbalance after miscarriage include:
Irregular or missing periods
Mood swings, anxiety, or depression that don’t ease
Fatigue that feels deeper than grief
Sleep disruptions or night sweats
Difficulty tracking ovulation
PMS that feels more intense than usual
So let’s look under the hood.
Key Hormones to Watch
Progesterone – This is the big one. Low progesterone can contribute to difficulty maintaining early pregnancy. It also impacts mood, sleep, and cycle regulation.
Estrogen – You might be wondering, can low estrogen cause miscarriage? The answer is: yes, it can. Estrogen supports the uterine lining and plays a critical role in the first half of your cycle.
Thyroid Hormones – Undiagnosed thyroid issues are a sneaky culprit behind many fertility struggles and miscarriages. They affect nearly every system in your body—including your ability to conceive and carry.
Cortisol – Your stress hormone. Elevated cortisol from prolonged stress, trauma, or burnout can disrupt your entire hormonal ecosystem.
When people ask, what hormone causes miscarriage?, the real answer is: it’s never just one. Your hormones operate in a dynamic, interconnected dance. If one is off, others often follow. And in the case of chromosomal abnormalities, your hormones aren’t the culprit anyway.
How to Balance Hormones After Miscarriage
Here’s the good news: You don’t need to jump into invasive pregnancy loss treatments to begin healing.
There are deeply effective, body-honoring ways to bring your hormones into balance—without overriding your intuition or outsourcing your power.
This might include:
Nutritional support to stabilize blood sugar and support hormone production
Supplementation with high-quality vitamins and minerals (based on testing, not guesswork)
Nervous system regulation through breathwork, embodiment, and nervous system repair
Cycle tracking (the right way) to understand your hormonal rhythms
Trauma-informed coaching or therapy to help process the emotional layers that get stored in the body
Your body is wise.
She knows how to heal.
But she does need you to listen.
You’re Not Fragile. You’re Becoming.
This part of the journey might feel like it’s breaking you. But what if it’s breaking you open?
Miscarriage is not the end of your story. It can be the start of your true alignment—the version of you who’s not just checking boxes or following protocols, but deeply connected to her power, her purpose, and her intuition.
I didn’t just survive my pregnancy losses—I alchemized them. I stopped obsessing over what more I could do and started asking who I needed to become. I healed at the root, realigned with my truth, and watched my life expand beyond what I ever thought was possible—including the babies I thought might never come.
That version of me? She’s the one who became a mother. She’s the one who gets to guide other women into their own becoming now.
You are not fragile. You are being forged.
This grief? It’s sacred.
This pain? It holds wisdom.
This moment? It’s asking you to remember who you are—not just who you’ve been.
You get to mother yourself through this before you mother someone else.
You get to create space, not just for a baby, but for the life you actually want to live.
And you don’t have to do it alone.

Do You Look In The Mirror And Think: "I Really Thought I'd Have A Baby [Or Be Pregnant] By Now…"?
Learn how to let go of “working” toward your goal.
I was there too. I was obsessed. I overanalyzed what day of my cycle it was, what I put into and on my body, any potential sign or symptom of ovulation or pregnancy…
It didn’t take long for it to not feel good to live like that, yet I couldn’t help myself — I wanted to be pregnant SO badly! I didn’t know what else to do…
But I had the sense that fixation may not be healthy. So I turned the obsession into figuring out what WOULD get me to my goal.
Guess what?
Turns out the same habits that had me feeling like I was on a hamster wheel in my mind all day were likely preventing me from getting pregnant!
What I needed were capabilities for success. Tools that would allow me to tap into my innate potential as a woman — To use my mind and my body in a way that was productive (and re-productive!)
And through research, trying things out in my own life, throwing out what didn’t work and keeping what did, seeing/living the results, and then formalizing these habits into repeatable practice…because I’ve distilled the plan down to what actually what achieves results:
I have now been able to help LOTS of others become pregnant in less than 8 weeks!!!
And not only are they pregnant but they’re seeing their entire lives transform before their eyes.
It’s true: MORE THAN 90% OF WOMEN WHO HAVE PUT THESE PRACTICES INTO USE IN THEIR DAILY LIVES HAVE BECOME PREGNANT IN LESS 8 WEEKS!
Ask Yourself Honestly:
Control: Am I ready to leave in the rear view mirror the anxiety, control, and analysis of every single thing I do or put in or on my body?
Trust: Am I ready to reclaim trust in my body?
Ease: Am I ready for having a baby to feel EASY?

“I didn’t know (or like) the person I became while trying to conceive and it was very unsettling. Through coaching sessions with Sarah I was able to find space and ground myself through breathing, visualizing and positive thought processes that helped me through the cloud of anxiety.” -Darcie
“Even before finding out I was pregnant, I felt this experience was invaluable. I now feel empowered, I trust myself and my body, and I have gained skills that have improved all aspects of my life. I can’t recommend this coaching enough, it has truly changed my life in more ways than one.” -Marissa
“I can seriously not say enough about KindNest. Sarah was a miracle worker, between the reiki and coaching it was like I became a new person with all the tools that could handle anything that came my way. I know for a fact Sarah was who helped me get pregnant. After 2 years, a miscarriage, all the acupuncture, Chinese herbs, and fertility treatments, it wasn’t until I met with her and worked through stuff that I got pregnant and my little girl is just perfect (I had stopped fertility treatments at the time of getting pregnant so I know it was her).” -Nichole
“I didn’t really know what I wanted to achieve besides the obvious of becoming pregnant (which I did!) but I took away SO much more from this coaching than I ever expected about trusting myself and empowering my body.” - MM
“I can’t say enough good things about the fertility coaching. I went into it with my one goal and that was to get pregnant but I’m walking away with so much more. Practical life tools to help navigate fertility, triggers and everything! So grateful for Sarah and her coaching.” - Melissa
