Answer by Dr.Kokil Mathur (doctor) on Sun 12, Sep 2010 10:06am:

Hi! Generally first trimester abortions or abortions occurring in first three months are due to fetal abnormality, genetic causes, Rh blood group incompatibility and low progesterone hormone. Infection of the uterus, endometriosis, fibroids, etc are some other causes for early abortion. Yes, a woman with low progesterone can conceive provided the hormone is supplemented from outside. If you and your partner have been trying for kids for 5 years and you have not had kids earlier, then you should consult an infertility specialist. There are various reasons for this like ovum not being formed, polycystic ovary, hormone imbalance (like low progesterone), hypothyroidism, local infection, blocked tubes (maybe not fully open or there is loss of ciliary function) etc. In males it can be infection, STD, varicose veins, hydroceles, poor sperm count, not enough motile sperms etc. You will need tests like Hsg or hysterosalpingography (probably done in your case), laproscopy , hormonal level and pelvic sonography, glucose challenge test, thyroid profile, ultrasound guided graffian follicle maturation (in this the growth of ovum is monitored by ultrasound and then specific drugs as needed are given for ovulation and maturation of ovum) and antisperm antibody test. PAP smear, STD panel are the other tests done. Semen analysis is performed. Please discuss with treating doctor. Hope this helps. Take care!
