Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query to HCM,
As this has been your 4th miscarriage and i am surprised that your doctor hasn't got a ultrasound done before performing miscarriage. Now , it has been 4th miscarriage so you should be evaluated for recurrent pregnancy loss. You need to evaluated for INHERITED AND ACQUIRED THROMBOPHILIAS , and a hormonal profile to look for a possible cause for recurrent abortion. Please discuss the details with your physician in detail,

Detailed Answer:
PCOS is not the cause for pregnancy loss. PCOS is responsible for anovulation or delayed ovulation but not responsible for further maintenance of pregnancy. so as you have conceived naturally , so PCOS is not the cause. The possible cause of recurrent pregnancy loss would be possibly INHERITED AND ACQUIRED THROMBOPHILIAS which needs to be evaluated.
