What Could Cause Repeated Abortions?

Hi I am a 33 year old lady with 7 year old daughter. I have B negative blood group and married to a B positive man. In April '13 I was diagnosed with blighted ovum and had missed abortion.i conceived again in sep'13 and had missed abortion again on 16th dec as there was no cardiac activity after 7 weeks. Our blood tests are normal. Any idea why it happened and if I should try again?

Most common cause of second trimester stillbirths is anti phospholipid syndrome. You need to get tested for it. Rh incompatibility doesn't effect so early in pregnancy. Get your lupus anticoagulant test and anti-cardiolipin tests done.These tests are for this disease

Also do get tested for SLE. Get your ANA test
