Women with undiagnosed Celiac Disease have a 9 times higher chance of miscarriage. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8677936. I became aware of it because of a blog in the IF community (and was then diagnosed semi positive), and it's caused awareness for other people too... wouldn't it be great if we could save other women from going through this trauma!

After four miscarriages, all we could find was heterozygous MTHFR and low B12. Every day I took 1000 mcg B12, 1000 mcg folic acid, 50 mg B6, baby aspirin, slow fe, and a gummy multivitamin. All of these fall in the "can't hurt, might help" category, and I had a healthy baby boy! Definitely test MTHFR. After four miscarriages, all we could find was heterozygous MTHFR and low B12.

This same hematology & immunology stuff may be a cause of both unexplained infertility and recurrent loss. I wish I knew about it before my 3 miscarriages. Maybe another woman can be informed sooner in her process. Please consider ALSO posting this information (or linking it) on the Unexplained Infertility page.

Hi:
I am not sure if you have this already listed on your blog, but do you know a helpful bacteria can cause miscarriages?

We have many micro-organisms living harmlessly—even helpfully—in our female and male reproductive tracts. However, some certain bacteria can cause us problems!

What are names of these troublesome little guys? Mycoplasma hominis and ureaplasma urealyticum!

We can live our lives normally and not even know (no symptoms) we have until we start to have a miscarriage and then the doctor will do a test.

What happens is the infection with these bacteria can inflame the endometrium (the lining of the uterus), making it impossible for an embryo to develop.
