welcome to hcm,
short answer: lime juice is not the cause for her pregnancy loss. there may be some other reason behind it
detailed answer: lime juice is rich in vitamin c rich antioxidant. it is in fact good for the growing fetus neural development.
there are many reasons for delayed menstrual periods
if there is irregular menstrual bleeding she has to be evaluated for thyroid and polycystic ovarian syndrome. hope this explains
