Bronwyn, I am not aware of any relationship between polycystic ovaries and recurrent pregnancy loss. Further, if you have polycystic ovaries, both are polycystic, you can't have one affected and the other not. It may be that you just have some small cysts on one ovary, but that doesn't define you as having polycystic ovarian syndrome... Lynn
