My sister had three miscarriages and four healthy boys;  I had two
early losses and two sons who I conceived easily and carried with no
problems.  The "I can't have children" after miscarriages in soaps and
the like is ridiculous unless the woman's had some kind of hideous
infection as a result of an incomplete miscarriage or something.  Of
course a medical  reason for not carrying to term may be behind
repeated miscarriages but that never seems to be the scenario, does it?
 I agree that it's irresponsible and must cause a huge amount of
anxiety in women who have miscarried and might fear the worst.

I think the very early pregnancy tests mean that we now know we've
"miscarried" instead of just having a late period.  I don't know what
proportion of conceptions spontaneously abort in the very early stages
but I have a feeling that it's quite high.  In the past they just
wouldn't have registered with us as pregnancies at all but as false
alarms (or dashed hopes) because of the wait before a test would give a
result.
