Still looking for answers

I had a miscarriage when I was 19. After that I had three healthy babies with my ex-husband, in a row. Since then, I have remarried and had three miscarriages with my current husband.

I discovered just yesterday that the normal level of vitamin D is supposed to be somewhere between 100-150; I have a level of 7! So I was prescribed a supplement and I decided to do some searching on the subject. It hasn't been confirmed unanamously, but some studies have found that a deficency in vitamin D can cause recurrent miscarriages. I just started taking the vitamin supplement last night so I have a while before I know if that is the issue, but in the mean time the doctors are planning on doing a hysteroscopy (putting a camera in my uterus to check for scar tissue) to see if scarring is preventing the embryos from implanting properly.

I hope that the vitamin D deficency is the problem, because it is easily corrected. I would love to have a baby with my current husband.
