Recurrent Miscarriage

Hello all, my partner and I have had all the tests under the sun and they’ve all come back as normal… however clearly there is something wrong as we’ve had 4 miscarriages in a row. The only thing that has come up in slightly elevated NK Cells in my uterus. Has anyone else had this?
