I was going to respond that you should just go on, but then you dropped in the age of 37. With that factor I think most OBGYN's will recommend some kind of evaluation. prior to the next pregnancy starting with chromosomes on you and your wife. certain other labwork and a hysterosalpingogram (X-ray of the uterus and tubes after the instillation of X-ray dyde.)
