Recurrent Miscarriage...

Pregnancy loss is usually a one-time occurrence and up to one in twenty couples experience two miscarriages in a row.

But, approximately one woman of reproductive age in 100 will experience recurrent pregnancy loss (three or more), and in no more than half of those couples will a definite cause be established.
 
 
Recurrent pregnancy loss may result from:  
Genetic abnormalities.
A hormonal imbalance, such as luteal phase deficiency or thyroid disease
A metabolic disorder, such as polycystic ovary syndrome or diabetes
Uterine abnormalities, such as septate uterus and intrauterine scarring
An autoimmune factor, such as antiphospholipid syndrome
An inherited blood clotting disorder
