Just found this, which of course says the complete opposite...
You probably had the miscarriages due to antiphospholipid syndrome (due to the elevated cardiolipin antibodies). YOu definitely should take baby aspirin, Lovenox, and folic acid. That may help you get through the pregnancy. Provera is perfectly safe for use during pregnancy. We use Provera to help prevent miscarriage in early pregnancy and it is usually taken until 12 weeks gestation, when it is stopped because the placenta has formed and the placenta produces enough progesterone to maintain the pegnancy. Years ago, before we had the modern monoclonic pregnancy tests, we used Provera as a pregnancy test. If you did not bleed, you were pregnant.If you bled, you were not pregnant. Provera will cause you to get your period if you have missed your period due to hormonal imbalance. Provera will also stop your bleeding if you have some dysfunctional uterine bleeding (twice a day for five days). During pregnancy, Provera does not cause bleeding. Provera definitely does NOT cause a miscarriage and is definitely used during pregnancy, expecially if you have a low progesterone level. Your pharmacist was incorrect. Taking Lovenox, aspirin, and folic acid increases your chances of avoidinb miscarriage, but they are not foolproof.If you took these medications, you have done all you could to help.
Sorry to scare you hun - maybe I should just stop talking and advise you ask your doc?
