I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of women who have tried to get pregnant have had at least 1 miscarriage in their lifetime. Fertile or not, it appears to be part of the child-bearing process given sufficient attempts to reproduce.

1 in 4 pregnancies was the figure I was quoted, when my wife had a miscarriage.
1 in 4 known pregnancies. Most miscarriages occur before pregnancy hormones able to be detected. Probably around 40-60% of fertilized eggs die.
