Karen - Glad to hear you are encouraged and want to keep trying. Not
that there is anything wrng with adopting if that is where you end up.
But knowing you can conceive is half the battle it seems. Although when
I conceived this time I was using 100 mg clomid on days 5-9 to try and
make sure I would definately ovulate and then a kit that said I did
ovulate on day 15 & 3 days of sex to be sure we were covered.... Now I
am hopeful again now that I was able to conceive again. I just read
your due date from your miscarraige had just passed. I feel that pain,
I was due April 29th.
