Your history, symptoms, and questions—all in one place.

After repeated pregnancy losses, gathering information can feel emotionally demanding. A brief summary of your history and a simple symptom record can help you communicate with your care team without having to remember every detail during an appointment.

Bring what you have. You do not need a complete set of records before seeking care.

What to Bring to Your Appointment

If available, gather:

• Approximate dates and gestational ages for each pregnancy loss

• Whether each pregnancy followed spontaneous conception, IUI, or IVF

• Relevant ultrasound and blood test reports

• Records of medications, procedures, or surgery related to each loss

• Results of any pregnancy-tissue or genetic testing

• Previous evaluations for recurrent pregnancy loss

• A current medication and supplement list

• Relevant personal and family medical history

Your clinician will decide which information and investigations are appropriate. It can also help to write down your priorities, whether you want to understand possible causes, discuss another pregnancy, or find emotional support.

Noticing Changes Between Appointments

Alongside your pregnancy history, notes about current bleeding, menstrual cycles, and symptoms can help your clinician understand how you are feeling now.

If tracking feels helpful, keep a brief record in a notebook or an app. You do not need to record everything, and it is okay to pause if the process feels overwhelming.

Menstrual & Symptom Tracker

Copy the following prompts for each entry:

Date:
Cycle Day, if known:
Bleeding: Spotting / Light / Moderate / Heavy
Symptoms & Severity: Describe symptoms and rate discomfort from 0–10
Impact on Daily Activities:
Sleep:
Mood / Energy:
Medications or Supplements Taken:
Response to Medication:
Additional Notes:

What to Include

Bleeding and cycle changes
Record bleeding dates and any changes you notice. Bleeding immediately after a pregnancy loss may not be a menstrual period; ask your clinician how to interpret it. For cycle tracking, Day 1 usually means the first day of full menstrual flow rather than spotting. Follow your fertility clinic’s instructions when scheduling treatment.

Physical symptoms
Note where discomfort occurs, how long it lasts, and whether it affects work, movement, or rest.

Sleep and emotional well-being
A few words about sleep, energy, or mood can help you describe the support you need.

Medications and treatment updates
Record relevant changes, including when a medication was started and whether it helped.

This record supports a conversation. It does not diagnose a condition, confirm ovulation, or explain why a pregnancy loss occurred. Follow your medical team’s instructions about symptoms that need prompt attention rather than waiting for your next appointment.

Bring What Matters Most to You

Your records provide useful context, but your questions and experience matter just as much.

Before your appointment, consider writing down two or three things you most want to discuss. You can ask for explanations to be repeated, take notes, or bring a support person if you wish.
