Just wanted to say thanks for your note of encouragement and helpful
suggestions. Sunday morning while I was getting ready for church I
began to miscarry, so I've been resting, and just working through it.
I'm ready to go back to the doctor with questions and make another go of
it. I will definitely talk to her about the progesterone. Something I
didn't know, being so new to all of this. Thanks again.
