Complex undertaking.: Making a human is a complex undertaking involving millions of steps where something can go wrong. Most of the time we don't know what caused a miscarriage. On average 1 in 5 miscarry. Its usually more fruitful to try again than to try and figure out why it happened. There are many known causes such as uterine fibroids, clotting disorders, infection, exposure to feto-toxic substances, etc.

Polycystic ovaries: can roughly double the risk of miscarriage. If treated this could lower your risk. Ask your doctor to be sure.
