Kerry is a women’s nutrition practitioner and nervous system coach, dedicated to supporting women through the emotional and physical challenges of fertility struggles, recurrent miscarriage, and the lasting impact these experiences can have on both body and mind. Below Kerry shares a little about her own experience and some helpful questions she wishes she’d known to ask during her consultant appointments.
Through gentle nervous system regulation, functional medicine and integrative approaches, Kerry creates a safe, supportive space where women can feel seen, heard and cared for as they navigate their journey to conception.
Having experienced recurrent miscarriage herself, she really understands the fear, grief and uncertainty that can come with trying to conceive. Her personal journey inspired her to help others- transforming her own challenges into compassionate guidance, practical support and nurturing care for every woman walking this path. She felt so lost on her journey with loss and had no idea what to ask at each appointment or how to take steps to help her situation.
Experiencing recurrent miscarriage can be overwhelming and it’s common to feel unsure where to start, what information is important, or how to make sense of medical advice. Having a list of thoughtful questions can be empowering, it gives you a sense of control, helps you understand your options and ensures that you leave each appointment feeling informed and supported.
These 10 questions are designed to give you a starting point for conversations with your consultant. They can help you feel more confident, ensure you leave appointments with greater clarity, and most importantly, remind you that your voice and your choices matter in this journey.
Questions:
1) Should we explore autoimmune or immune factors that could be contributing to my losses (e.g. Natural killer cells, antiphospholipid syndrome, ANA antibodies)
2) Have you reviewed my thyroid function in full — including antibodies and not just TSH?
3) Can we assess for clotting disorders or inflammation markers beyond standard bloods? (Ask about thrombophilia screening, homocysteine, etc.)
4) Is there any testing available for genetic or chromosomal issues in either parent?
5) Can we run a full vaginal and seminal microbiome screening? (Imbalances or infections here can silently impact conception + early pregnancy losses)
6) Have I been assessed for progesterone support at the right time in my cycle — and do we need to address the dosing?
7) Could lifestyle factors like sleep, stress, or environmental toxins (e.g. Mould, endocrine disruptors) be relevant in my case?
8) Is sperm DNA fragmentation testing something we should consider? (Even if semen analysis looks “normal” — I am aware this can have an affect on recurrent loss)
9) Are there any additional tests that could help us rule out less obvious causes, like chronic low-grade infections or nutrient depletion?
10) Can we discuss combining functional or nutritional support alongside medical care — and what you’d recommend?
