I am 29 and I have had 3 miscarriages in a row. The 1st was in 1/08 at 5-6 weeks and the 2nd was 9/08 at 5-6 weeks again. I just had my third in august 2009 at about 14 1/2 weeks. We have been to specialists and have been completely checked out including having had all my chromosomes checked as well as my husbands. We have been told that we have unexplained infertility, but that was before i even got pregnant the 1st time. My question is, if everything seems to be normal, could it be something that i have done in my past? I have been a marijuana user in the past. I never smoked while trying. Always stopping about 3-6 months before trying but every time i lost the pregnancy i would start back up again because it was my only way to forget what happened. I only smoke cigarettes occasionally. Maybe 3-5 a month and i have a few drinks on the weekend, but again, i always stopped everything that could hurt our chances of conception well before trying. Please help!

Im sorry about your losses. I know its really hard, I have gone thru one myslef, had to get a d&c last month and Im just starting my period after 4 weeks of the procedure.
Have you heard about the baby aspirin? have you been tested for being predisposed to blood clots?
I asked my doctor about the baby aspiring and he advised me that its recommended to women that had had several miscarriages, and in the next 2 weeks Im going in to be tested, my doctor wants to see if my body would form blood clots. If you've never heard of it, please do some research about it, just a thought it might help..
