Abstract

Introduction: recurrent miscarriages are the loss of 3 or more consecutive pregnancies before the 20th week of gestation. It is classified into primary and secondary. Objective: to evaluate the effectiveness of low dose aspirin vs. low dose aspirin and omega 3 vs. LMWH in treatment of unexplained recurrent miscarriage. Materials and methods: This comparative prospective research was conducted on 60 1st trimester pregnant female with a history of two or more unexplained spontaneous consecutive abortion aged from 18 to 36 years old with gestational age (5-7 weeks) and single intrauterine pregnancy. Patients were subdivided equally into 3 groups: Group A: received a daily dose of 75mg of aspirin, group B: received a daily dose of 75 mg of aspirin in addition to 300mg of omega -3 fatty acids and group C: received a daily dose of 4000 IU of enoxaparin. Results: There was an insignificant difference in pregnancy outcome among the three groups. 12 (60%) cases in group A, 15 (75%) cases in group B and 14 cases in group C completed 20 weeks of pregnancy.
