A member asked:

I have had 3 miscarges in the past 6 months. im on the nuva ring but i'm lactating and the last time i breastfed was 9yrs ago. what could cause this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Get checked: Obviously, this is not normal and you need to be checked out. A pituitary tumor is one possibility, but this requires a thorough evaluation.
