Recurrent Pregnancy Loss (Repeated Miscarriages)
Although recurrent pregnancy loss may sound like a different problem than infertility, women who have had two or more consecutive miscarriages before the 20th week of pregnancy should be tested by a fertility specialist to determine the cause of the miscarriages. Some causes are bacterial infections, specific toxins, an abnormality of the uterus, a clotting abnormality, a progesterone deficiency or immune factor. Even after several miscarriages, women can be treated and can have a successful pregnancy.
