Yes: As distressing as it can be to have a miscarriage. Having 2 is actually not that uncommon. Most women in that situation are still able to have a baby. You should go see an obgyn and discuss your history with them. Depending on the visit, they may tell you to keep trying or they may order some tests to look for reasons you miscarried.

Miscarriage: You will very likely be able to have a normal pregnancy. Unfortunately, miscarriage is more common than most people think. Some simple testing can be done to look for problems like infection, abnormal uterus or medical conditions. A full work up for recurrent miscarriage would not usually be recommended unless you had another loss.

Yes, but see a REI: You still have a chance of a healthy pregnancy 'on your own', but after 2 or more miscarriages we do tests to find out why. Possible causes include autoimmune conditions like antiphospholipid antibodies, blood clotting disorders, low egg supply, problems in the uterus like fibroids or a uterine septum, hormonal problems, or male or female genetic problems. Get checked out by a rei specialist.
