hi lybrate user, missed abortion is not due to Change of epileptic drug.
it could be due to diabetes with high sugar levels or diabetes with infections.
if I would have been your doctor I would have advised you to get sugar levels rechecked, HBa1c, TSH done
control of blood sugars if high then plan for baby after 3months once everything is fine.
