Get a second opinion! The same thing happened to me, I had 4 miscarriages, and they told me I was fine... I finally went to another doctor who did a full screen blood test, they found that I had a condition called "thrombophilia". I am missing a protein in my blood, and it caused my body to reject the fetuses. When I finally did get pregnant I had to give myself shots of blood thinners in my stomach everyday until my daughter was born. It was very annoying and sometimes painful, but totally worth it. Your issue may be any number of things. Be vigilant, ask questions, demand answers and make sure you understand everything before you leave your MD's office. If a 2nd doc doesn't help you, got to a third. There is nothing normal about multiple miscarriages, and no competent doc should tell you it is. Go to another doctor... For 10 years I was told I couldn't have kids, now I know I can. I feel for you and understand how hard this must be for you. Good Luck. :)

The other answers here are all possible, and I'm sure it must be heart-wrenching for you. Just a thought that may help you though. The most common reason that women miscarry is that there is a major problem with the foetus, sometimes genetic and sometimes structural. So even though it is very tough on you, it can be your body's way of getting rid of a pregnancy that won't lead to a happy healthy child.
My step-mum miscarried 6 times and when they tested the foetuses, they all had a major abnormality. I now have a beautiful, perfect little sister, and my step-mum is thankful everyday that her body was working properly and miscarried instead of having a very sick child with a short life expectancy.

Look up Dr. Beer at the University of Chicago. He is a pioneer researcher in precisely this subject. With his help, my 2nd daughter was born.
The short version is this: your body treats an egg fertilized by your partner's sperm as a foreign body, and the woman miscarries. This is the luck of a poor draw between the two people, but it can be remedied. The lab will draw blood from your partner and prepare an antibody from it, which will then be injected into your body. Your body learns to treat the resultant zygote as it should, and you keep your baby.

I'm very sorry for your losses. Have your doctor check your progesterone levels. Sometimes women have miscarriages due to low progesterone levels. If that is the problem, the doctor can give you vaginal depositories that will increase your level of progesterone. Good luck in the future.
Veronica- Obviously she has asked a doctor because he/she keeps telling her she is fine. Read the dang question before you give an insensitive answer.

Your body has a hard time holding a pregnancy, most likely. I've got no easy answer. Talk to a ob-gyn who specializes in miscarriage risk.

See a specialist, you might need to get your cervix sutured for a few months.

Has he checked your thyroid? My mother lost 6 babies due to hers. It wasn't found until her last miscarriage. Oh, my heart goes out to you.
