the common investigations done for thesecases. all the patients during mid-luteal phase, examined by transvaginal3D pulse Doppler ultrasound to detect endometrial perfusion with measuringin the sera 25-hydroxy vitamin D3 and B2 glycoprotein 1 antibodieswhich is a marker of antiphospholipid syndrome. evaluation of uterineartery blood flow and subendometrial blood flow, detection uterine arterypulsatility index (UAPI) and subendometrial blood flow presented by the indiciesvascularisation index (VI), flow index (FI) and vascular flow index(VFI).
Results and Conclusion: All of the studied parameters namely; doppler indices, vitamin D level and B2glycoprotien were
significantly related to the incidence of the pregnancy loss and should be tested in those particular category of women who are at risk of recurrent pregnancy loss.
