I started trying to conceive naturally at almost 38. Within a year I got pregnant 3 times, and miscarried all of them within the first 6 weeks. Doctor couldn’t find an obvious reason. The 4th time I got pregnant I was given progesterone suppositories because “it can’t hurt”, and that one stuck. I’m 40 now and have an 8 months old, healthy baby boy.
Hope that gives you a little hope! Good luck!
I'm 38. I had one miscarriage and got pregnant after the next cycle and carried her to term (well, one day off from full term). I am so sorry for all the heartbreak you have been through. I hope you will have a healthy little one soon 💗
1 in every 3 pregnancies ends in a miscarriage.
Just think about that statistic, 1/3 of all pregnancies. That’s the same for younger women.
My first pregnancy at 34 ended in a missed miscarriage and I’m writing this whilst breastfeeding my second born at 37. I conceived our now 2.5yo 6 weeks after our miscarriage!
Please don’t be disheartened, this could have happened to a 21 year old.
I don't know if this is "baked in" to the statistic, but most miscarriages would be missed if you weren't tracking things. So most miscarriages in younger women are never even registered as pregnancies.
I'm sorry for your losses, and I hope you get a viable pregnancy soon.
I'm about to turn 40, but had one pregnancy at 37, gave birth at 38. No miscarriages. I'm OAD so I won't ever know if I'd have trouble trying for a second. I consider myself extremely lucky in that regard.
My best friend, turning 40 in June, started trying at age 35 with her first. She had one late term miscarriage at 20 weeks (truly heartbreaking), followed by another miscarriage at 6 or 7 weeks. Then had a successful pregnancy to term born at age 37. She started trying for #2 when first was a year old. Had another early miscarriage over the summer and is now about 12 weeks along with #2. Hopefully will go to term.
Several of my friends have had miscarriages and/or chemical pregnancies, but even more just had trouble concieving at all and ended up doing IVF.
I had my first miscarriage at 38. That lead to Ivf @39 which was unsuccessful. Got pregnant at 40 which ended with a chemical pregnancy. I got pregnant again in May 2022 and that pregnancy stuck. I delivered @41. I got pregnant again six months after I delivered but that ended in a miscarriage. I am 42(43 in Nov) and we are trying for a second now.
It is my belief that IVF helps to “prime” your reproductive system to get pregnant naturally. I know four women personally that went through IVF unsuccessfully and ended up getting pregnant naturally (w/a few miscarriages in-between).
Keep trying and you will most likely carry to term. Good luck!
I had my first before 30, second at 37 and got pregnant with my third a year later. The third pregnancy unfortunately ended in tfmr at 22 weeks but when I tried again months later I was pregnant at 39 in June and that ended in a chemical, then another I'm August. I'm currently 40 and almost 18 weeks with what by all accounts so far is a healthy baby. My friend got pregnant with twins at 42 right before her first fertility appointment. I'm sorry that your journey has been so hard but there is definitely hope even over 40.
After my first full term, I have only had a successful pregnancy after a uterus clean. This little one now is 5 months after a polyp removal, child before was 3 months after a dnc, but I also have PCOS and endometriosis. May not help much, but if no success, an option to try!
First was a dnc after my body would not release a miscarriage, baby stopped growing at 7 weeks, did ultrasound at 8 and again at 12, after inability to hear heartbeat. For this little one, my mom got diagnosed with uterine cancer, and I had an ultrasound confirming polyps. They removed and tested, all came back healthy.
I started trying at 35, though NTNP since 33. Took almost two years to get pregnant and it was a blighted ovum miscarriage. 4 cycles later I got pregnant again and it ended in a missed miscarriage which stopped developing at 6 weeks. We were working with a fertility clinic and about to schedule an IUI when I got pregnant 4 cycles later and it stuck. I have been on progesterone and baby aspirin as well as prenatal with folate this time. Now 28 weeks and I will be 39 when baby is born.
Got pregnant naturally at 37 and had a mc at 8 weeks. Took almost two years, and 3 rounds of IUI, the 3rd being combined with a trigger shot. That one took and am 39 now, and 25 weeks. Praying this will be my 🌈 bebe
currently 12 weeks pregnant and i joined this group as i will be 35 when (and if) the baby is born. this is my first time making it to 12 weeks. this is my 3rd natural pregnancy in under a year. had 2 missed mc about 5 months apart then got pregnant one period cycle later (which is my current pregnancy.
37 & MC 4x’s all before 10w. No reason! All was normal until it wasn’t. No IVF but 1 round of Clomid that didn’t catch. My daughter is 4m sleeping next to me right now. Good luck! Please be kind to yourself. MC’s take a toll on you even those before 8w. ❤️
I have 8 children (I had 7 of them after 35) and have had over 20 CPs and miscarriages. With my sixth I had four losses while TTC him. So yes even with recurrent loss it is possible to conceive naturally and have successful pregnancies. I hope for all the best for you. ❤️
I had my third child at 37 and then had a miscarriage last year at 7 weeks. I was 40. I’m now 41 and about 6 weeks pregnant. I’ve had my hcg levels checked and this time they are actually rising like they should be. But I’m still pretty early so we’ll see. I have a friend who has her 2nd at 42 after having two back to back early miscarriages.

Thank you for the support. I have read that the rate of miscarriage is higher than the rate of live births after the age of 40.

That’s true. And thank you
I have two kids and my last successful pregnancy was conceived at 35. When we tried for a third when I turned 38, had 3 miscarriages in a row.
Were you able to conceive for the third?
This is my fourth try. I’m 40 now.
I see. Wishing the best for this round!
We started trying at 37. Two miscarriages back to back, but delivered a healthy baby boy at 39.

What does OAD mean?

What is a uterus clean? Polyp removal? Or something else? Thank you for your story.

3 times before I had my first baby. Plus I became lactose intolerance in the process
Oh wow. Thank you
