How is it God’s will via a miscarriage as opposed to IVF, in both instances children are lost? Many miscarriage’s can be attributed to a mother’s poor choices. I have never seen a Christian article condemning such behaviors directly.

To make the point more challenging, I would have to take your line of logic to mean a mother who drinks, smokes, or even just to physically active, such that it would increase the likelihood of a miscarriage should not attempt to get pregnant, that to creates a cost in lives.

IVF, I think, is one of those things that is in a very grey doctrinal issue and should be left to the couple and their relationship with Jesus.

Most humans, and other animals for that matter, don’t survive gastrulation.

Miscarriage is not a deliberate action. "Selective termination" after IVF is.

That is literally the same argument the pro choice movement makes in favor of abortion.

“How is it God’s will via a miscarriage as opposed to IVF”

You are describing death by natural causes versus death by human intent.
I say there is such a thing as murder. All causes of death are not equal.

On the contrary, very few miscarriages can be attributed to any action of the mother. Most miscarriages are caused by a lethal genetic defect; others by immunological, hormonal or clotting problems, unknown to the mother, not in her control, although perhaps treatable after careful diagnosis.

Grieving mothers already blame themselves for failing their babies, without cause.

Please don’t add to their grief by opining that they may have made poor choices.
