There is no conclusive evidence on this that I have heard of....not that I am a doctor who would have heard, but I know that some people think it is psychological. For example, many mothers who give their babies up for adoption then will have a hard time conceiving again. Is it because of the pain of losing that child? Could that be why some women who miscarry have that problem? We may not ever know, or science may surprise us and one day find the answer. KL -- KL Please help if you can....
