Pregnancy Answer A1578

According to the data you have provided (2 normal deliveries and 2 miscarriages later) it seems that you are experiencing secondary sterility. You miscarried during the early stages of the previous two pregnancies (early miscarriage). Any miscarriage that happens during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy is called an early miscarriage.
There could be many reasons for an early miscarriage: chromosome anomalies; damage during embryogenesis (radiation, viral infections, chemicals (including medicines) etc.); traumatized or inflammatory endometrium (infections); hormonal disturbances (diabetes mellitus, hyperthyroidism, failure of the yellow body…) etc.
You can visit your gynecologist and request several physical and laboratory analyses to find out the reason for this secondary sterility.
