I am afraid anything that interferes with the normal environment of the vagina may disrupt the protective bacteria, lactobacilli, and this may alow more noxious pathological organisms to overgrow and cause either thrush or bacterial vaginosis.
Spermicides produce a hostile vaginal environment which kills sperm, they don’t cause misscarriage.
you should try condoms without spermicide, it’s been proven that condoms with spermicide are no more effective than regular condoms.
i don’t think that it could cause a miscarriage.
