Losing my babies when I was in my first trimester of pregnancy was heart breaking.  The ache in my heart was particularly painful at the time but I was surprised to learn that miscarriages put you at risk for more than just a broken heart - you actually have a greater risk of cardiovascular disease later in life.  The more miscarriages you have the greater your risk according to a <a title="Finnish Study - Miscarriages &amp; Cardiovascular Disease" href="http://informahealthcare.com/doi/abs/10.3109/00016340903380758" target="_blank">Finnish study reported</a> in 2010 after studying 3,937 women from age 30 - 99.

Conversely if your parents suffered from coronary heart disease you may be at risk for miscarriage. A Scottish study of almost 75,000 people from 1992 - 2006 showed.   http://www.rcog.org.uk/news/bjog-release-recurring-miscarriage-linked-family-history-ischaemic-heart-disease

Researchers are talking about genetic pre-disposition.  And of course who am I to say otherwise?  But hmmm....I'm sure curious about thyroid disorders - they carry an increased risk of miscarriage &amp; an increased risk of heart disease.
