Hi:

That's a very frustrating situation but not all that uncommon.

I would recommend you see a reproductive endocrinologist to make sure all the pertinent tests have been done and if they have we sometimes recommend IVF with preimplantation genetic screening (PGS) as some couples make a high proportion of chromosomally abnormal embryos and since chromosomal abnormalities are the most common reason for miscarriage, this may a way to avoid another miscarriage.
