Hard to say. Nonviable fetus? Flawed implantation?
The former might be determined, maybe, by genetically testing what are called "the products of conception" (the expelled fetus and placenta).
If it's not genetic, and it often is not, then I don't know how other causes might be identified.
We had one patient who had recurrent miscarriage. We did PGD on her and found almost all of her blastocysts were genetically non-viable. We transferred only those that passed PGD and she succeeded.
Avoid IVF and surrogacy in Ukraine. Ukrainian centers pay shills to post here under numerous sock accounts pretending to be patients in Ukraine. Centers using such deceptive advertising cannot be trusted and should be avoided.
