Abstract

A woman experienced ten unexplained first trimester miscarriages. Uterine steroid therapy was performed just before her 11th pregnancy. Prednisolone was inserted into the uteral cavity before ovulation and her 11th pregnancy resulted in success. Our experience in this case confirms the potential usefulness of this treatment for patients with unexplained recurrent miscarriages.
