What the sources establish

Britannica’s personal life narrative records pregnancy loss in the late 1950s during the Miller marriage, commonly fixed to the 1958 Some Like It Hot production season.

Britannica independently notes her pregnancy losses in the Miller years; AFI frames the 1958–59 production strain.

Established: 1958-season pregnancy loss in the biography file. Not established: detailed clinical charts here.

Marilyn Monroe did not file a later UNESCO form, a later Loeb colophon, or a later museum label as a personal act. Month-level season date; do not invent a hospital chart day.
