Unknown: Making a human being is very complicated. Sometimes something goes wrong. When your body recognizes the problem, you have a miscarriage. This happens in about 1 in 5 recognized pregnancies. Most of the time, the cause of the miscarriage is not known. Its not usually something you did. If you have had only one miscarriage, your chance of having a second miscarriage is not increased.

Multiple items: Hi. Often it is natures way to take care of a genetically defective fetus. Low progesterone levels during pregnancy. PMS might suggest a need for progesterone during pregnancy. Exposure to toxic chemicals, alcohol, drugs and medications are also risk factors.
