Recurrent miscarriage is a disease distinct from infertility, defined by three or more consecutive pregnancy losses. There are a lot of causes which can be related with repetitive pregnancy losses. Miscarriages is a serious medical condition which affects about 15-20% of couples trying to get pregnant. Most of them (about 50%) are unknown and genetic factors compose 1-5% causes of repetitive miscarriages. For this reason it is important to find out genetic causes of recurrent spontaneous abortions. In this review we will analyze several cases including cytogenetic abnormalities and polymorphisms of genes.

This study tries to explore the psychological, social and emotional experiences of the women who have gone through the recurrent miscarriages. Although miscarriage is seen as common and occurs frequently in otherwise healthy women and in most of the cases the reasons are never known. The phenomenon of miscarriage does not qualify as a disease or even a medical condition. The purpose of this study is to gain a more comprehensive view of the psychological and emotional experiences, the behavioural changes and both supportive and unsupportive factors following miscarriage.
