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.
