When I miscarried my first two pregnancies I was told that most early trimester miscarriages are "unexplained".    Well damn it - guess what?  <strong>My miscarriages would have been explained if doctors had bothered to try and find out why I was losing my babies</strong>.

Here's how having a miscarriage "works":
<ul>
	<li>You miscarry in the first tri-mester and are generally told there is no explanation and that it is common and go home and try again but wait 3 months.</li>
	<li>You try again and apparently 75% of women go on to have a full term pregnancy.</li>
</ul>
What happens to the other 25% of us you ask?  Here is what happens:
<ul>
	<li><span style="line-height: 12px;">Your second miscarriage is again considered unexplained and you get a little pat on the back, told to go home and rest and heal and try again in 3 months. </span></li>
	<li>You hope for the best</li>
</ul>
Risks:

Miscarriage risk doubles for women who need more than a year to conceive. https://sites.google.com/site/miscarriageresearch/miscarriage-general

Lets Do the Math:

This is what you're likely to hear:
<ul>
	<li>50% of all first trimester miscarriages are due to severe chromosomal defects</li>
	<li></li>
</ul>
Here's what my research and personal experience shows:
<ul>
	<li>Vaginal infections were found  to be cause in 31.5% of first term miscarriages in this 2003 study! http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14596343</li>
	<li></li>
</ul>
The GREAT News!

Researchers in the UK are doing the FIRST randomized double-blind placebo-controlled multi-centre study to find out if bioidentical progesterone is better than a placebo at preventing further miscarriages in women who have had recurrent miscarriages.

Recurrent miscarriage is the spontaneous loss of three or more consecutive pregnancies in the first trimester, with the same biological father. It affects 1 to 2 percent of women, in one half of whom there is no identifiable cause.  http://www.aafp.org/afp/2008/1015/p977.html
