Just something I was thinking about the other day, and please pardon me if this is an ignorant question, but I don’t know a lot about miscarriages. I have been fortunate never to experience one and don’t know many people who have, but I know that the majority of them are caused by chromosomal abnormalities/genetic defects that make the fetus not viable…

So my question is: Is it possible for the genes of 2 people to just not be compatible to make a healthy baby? Like, every time their chromosomes mix, it will result in a miscarriage just because the combination of them is not sustainable? I was just curious if this is potentially a reason why there are some women/couples who miscarry repeatedly. Is this why a couple would seek genetic counseling or see a specialist? Are they able to correct something like that, and if so, how?
