Unfortunately, miscarriages are very common for those of us that have had CRPS for several years. Considering many of us are on strong meds... I believe the question of the role of our immune system has been brought up in the past as well.
It's also been reported that some have actually had their CRPS go into remission or had a lessening of symptoms while pregnant.
You might want to read through Catra's posts about her journey through pregnancy and her recent delivery of a healthy baby girl. She has worked very hard at staying active and uses many alternatives to standard meds.
If having children is important to you, you might want to try detoxing and starting an intensive pt/exercise routine several months prior to trying again. And, I would not use birth control pills while waiting... Make sure you have a strong and stable support system in place in case the pregnancy causes spread (or if it comes into play for any reason over the next 18 years) since you might need extensive help with the daily feeding and watering of any potential munchkins.
