Brief Answer:
adequate level of vit D is required for healthy pregnancy
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome.
I have gone through your query.
I feel bad about your previous miscarriage.
Vitamin D level is very important for a healthy pregnancy, in your case as mentioned by you is low, which may be a cause of miscarriage.
Vitamin D supplements by themselves do not cause ovulation but normal level of vit D is essential for healthy pregnancy. Calcium alone will not be helpful.
You may need to be supplemented by taking sachets of vitamin D 60000 units once a week for at least 8 weeks. Along with that she needs calcium supplements of 1000 mg a day. You can visit and enquire with your consultanting OBG specialist.
This provisional advice provided by me is based entirely on the input provided to me. I would suggest examination by the doctor.
I hope this suggestion might be of some help to you. Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Take care.
