This is now my second pregnancy failure, since my first ended at 9 weeks, and this one at just 4 weeks. Can stress cause this to happen? This time, I was stressed over some work deadlines, and I was actually in europe when the pregnancy ended. I wonder if all the flying, walking and mental concerns caused things to go awry? I'm in great shape, so I thought my body would have an easy time with pregnancy.

I'm getting really frustrated with this stuff-- Guess I should've started trying before age 27, as I'm apparently going to miscarry several times before I can squeak out even one baby!!
