    It's nothing you did wrong. I have had several miscarriages. Some eggs are not meant to develop fully...they are just made that way. Out of the millions of them, some have chromosomal issues. Often, we think maybe it was something we did right before the miscarriage that caused it (a fight with a boyfriend, stress, something we ate) and it turns out it had nothing to do with it. Look at all the teen moms on tv - they have so much stress and still they give birth. I worried that I had one of my miscarriages because I was running up and down stairs all the time at work. Turns out, after testing, the fetus had downs syndrome and wasn't going to develop any further. There are sometimes other reasons, and if you have more than 2 mc's they will test you to see if it's a clotting disorder or something else, but I just want to make sure that you don't blame yourslef. Your gyn can give you some info if your boyfriend is cruel or blames you. But hopefully he will be supportive if you do tell him.
