Progesterone is the star of early pregnancy. It keeps everything cozy and calm. If your progesterone levels dip too low, the pregnancy might stall without a sound.
Thyroid issues can also mess with the script. Your thyroid is like a backstage manager. When it’s lazy or overworked, the whole show flops. Even diabetes that’s poorly controlled can crash the party.
But don’t panic. Most missed miscarriages are one-off events. Your hormones aren’t broken. They just had a bad day at work.
Infection? Not Really.
You think a cold could cause this? Nope. Common infections like flu or COVID don’t trigger missed miscarriages. Your immune system is not that dramatic.
However, certain rare infections (like listeria from bad cheese) can interfere. But that’s like blaming a tornado on a sneeze. It’s not your fault you ate that soft brie.
Ignore the myths. Stress doesn’t cause it. Exercising doesn’t cause it. Sex doesn’t cause it. You can’t shake the baby loose with a dance move.
