Yes. Spontaneous abortion is the medical term for all conceptus "non-takes" plus all miscarriages, put together. It is estimated that for every live birth, hundreds of spontaneous abortions occur, naturally. (Only a tiny percentage of all abortions are induced, medically.)

Since many individuals view personhood to occur at the moment of conception, there must occur with this the understanding that millions and millions of conceptus "persons" are being lost each year due to the natural process we know medically as spontaneous abortion.

It may be a difficult concept to grasp, for some, but it is part of the way life works, and even moreso now - since modern birth control methods are ubiquitous.
