187. Recurrent miscarriage

  Recurrent miscarriage is where you persistently get pregnant and unfortunately have a miscarriage. The majority of miscarriages are going to be due to nature’s mistakes. In other words, the embryo that was created when the sperm and the egg came together was actually genetically abnormal. The research is pretty clear that somewhere between 50 and 70 percent of miscarriages that get beyond six weeks of pregnancy are caused by genetic abnormalities in the embryo.
