In the last year I have had four miscarriages and have truly come to understand that through all this a pregnancy is a miracle and although modern medicine can help out, whether a pregnancy carries to term is out of our hands, we really cannot do anything about it.

Last week I tested positive yet again, now the 5th pregnancy in exactly one year, having gone through all this I know that only the next couple of weeks till that magic 12 is out of my hands.

Don't give up, you are getting pregnant so that is the first and very best step. Try and relax, I know it is not easy but it is all anyone can do.

My heart goes out to you. Karyn At Tue, 9 Oct 2001, Karen wrote: >
