No: Miscarriage risks are most commonly associated with genetic issues.

Controversial: The role in the quality of the ovulation is not well-understood and is debated among gynecologists. I would say you have a 25% chance of miscarriage, which is equal to the baseline risk. Early ultrasound or serial hCG blood tests could be reassuring for you.
