Thank you, Daphne - you have certainly given me some encouragement. I think part of the reason I let the article get me so down is that I took a One Step Be Sure hpt this morning (measures 25miu) at 9 dpo and it was negative. The anniversary of my 1st m/c is at the end of this month and I was really hoping to be pg by then. Best of luck with your pg - I wish you a healthy and happy 9 months! Alison >
