Thank

No: Sorry about your miscarriage. :( A simple ovarian cyst doesn't increase your chances of having a miscarriage. On average, a miscarriage occurs in 1 in 5 recognized pregnancies. If you have only had one miscarriage, you are not at any higher risk of having a second miscarriage. Your risk is still about 1 in 5. Best wishes!
