Recurrent pregnancy loss is an extremely distressing clinical problem for women as well as health professinals. According to current studies the decidualized endometrium act as a biosensor of good quality embyos , if it is faulty ,may lead to implantation of embryos resulting in miscarriage. Other factors implicated in the pathophysiology of miscarriage are Systemic and placental oxidative stress. Vascular endothelial damage, abnormal vascularity of placenta and immunologic reactions have been proposed to play some role in causing recurrent miscarriage.
