What if the most important step after pregnancy loss isn’t “try again,” but being truly seen and given a thoughtful plan? In this special episode for Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month, Dr. Monica Minjeur shares how restorative reproductive medicine supports women with cycle-informed evaluation, timed hormone labs, thyroid and insulin testing, male factor assessment, and screening for chronic endometritis—often missed in standard care. With compassion and clarity, discover how to build a plan that honors your grief while restoring your body’s ability to heal and conceive.

Key Takeaways

• Compassion first: Honor grief, name the baby if desired, and move at your own pace.
• Cycle-informed evaluation: Use charting to assess ovulation return, luteal phase strength, fertile signs, and bleeding patterns (especially brown bleeding).
• Timed hormone labs: Check progesterone and estradiol ~7 days after ovulation to assess ovulation quality—not just “day 21” labs.
• Thyroid & insulin matter: Full thyroid panel (TSH, Free T4, Free/Total T3, antibodies) and insulin testing (fasting or OGTT with insulin).
• Screen for chronic endometritis: Especially if there’s brown bleeding, early loss, or heavy cycles. Consider menstrual testing, biopsy, or hysteroscopy.
• Male factor is essential: Include semen analysis and DNA fragmentation testing, even if conception occurred.
• Re-testing is critical: Confirm improvements after treatment—labs, charting, and symptom resolution all guide timing.
• When to try again: A shared decision—emotionally ready, physically supported, with a clear plan for early pregnancy monitoring (HCG, progesterone, estradiol).
