A good web site on repetative >miscarriage is Dr Beer's ( I don't have the URL, but try these 2 names >in a search engine: Dr Beer and Dr Coulam) Dr. Shanahan, by some miracle through prayer, the third miscarriage I though I was having did not happen. The bleeding stopped, and my hormone levels are doubling like they should. I am not out of the woods yet, but wanted you to know. I remember that you had miscarriages too, and wish you the best as I hear you are currently pregnant. May you have a wonderful healthy pregnancy!!
