fertilityplus.org/faq/miscarriage/rpl.html - If you have had a couple of miscarriages, this site talks about tests that can be done (your local price range will probably differ)and may throw some light on your situation. At least in NZ it would be better than waiting until the third loss before you are eligible for treatment at the re-current miscarriage clinics where it is usually 3 miscarriages before they will consider accepting you onto their programme.

I have also felt the grief of losing a baby to miscarriage and out of that grieving and healing process I have created a necklace that is specifically for grieving mothers. It is a small genuine forget me not flower captured in a resin and sterling silver heart. From the bottom a charm (or charms, if one has experienced multiple losses), dangles in birthstone colour.  I would have loved to have had this necklace in the midst of my grief, and it is my heartfelt wish that it helps other greiving mothers.
Sincerely,
Kimberly de Montbrun
