Never given an explanation 20 years ago? I doubt Douglas Marland would have let a medical story go on without tangible details. It's a rewrite. It's also the only way for Meg to continue oscillating between Paul and Craig in Passanante's Bizarro Oakdale. TPTB had better limit that lame plot's airtime if they want to build on the ratings surge.

But it WASN'T a medical story on ATWT. Meg miscarried in the fall, and by Valentines' Day, had married Josh and left town. The only thing Doug Marland did, was occassionally reference the fact Meg wasn't getting pregnant, off-screen. There was never any hysterectomy, there was never any medical reason given for her failure to become pregnant, and in a signficant amount of cases, there is no medical reason that can be pinpointed.

Maybe it's just the fact Paul and/or Craig have super-sperm. Maybe the problem was the combination of Meg and Josh, and since we were led to believe their marriage crashed and burned right before she came home, that's why it didn't change. I don't know why people are so fixated on this point.
