According to an early study carried on at Imperial College London, it seems that multiple miscarriages may be linked to the poor quality of a man’s sperm: imperial.ac.uk/news/189690/...

I believed this could be interesting/useful for someone, therefore decided to post. Hope it is in line with the group's rules.

Sending hugs to you all, xxx

Interesting im having my 3rd mc my partner used to be really big lost a lot of weight when I first started dating and has put a fair bit back on and he smoked (just recently quit) I often wonder if it could be possibly his sperm (I’ve had 2 kids he has none) my clinic said they wouldn’t even test his sperm but I think I’m going to push for it.
