Paula is right about the progesterone. My friend had multiple
miscarriages and was able to save her most recent pregnancy by starting
Progesterone suppositories (vaginal) right away - she is due next month.
Did your doctors ever do a pathology report after the miscarriage? This
could help you determine if it is something other than a progesterone
deficiency too. ASK your doctor to check your prgtrne lever AS SOON as
you know you are pregnant.
