The recurrent miscarriage is when three or more miscarriages consecutively have happened. One in 100 women experiences recurrent miscarriage and if the cause is unknown then 6 out of 10 women who have had three miscarriages will go to have a baby. So still that means that 4 out of the 10 may not have a baby because they have an underlying problem and the cause of the current miscarriage is unknown in about 50% of the cases. That means the remaining 50% may have a cause that if found can be treated.
