Anyone 37 and TTC after a miscarriage?

[Deethehippy]

Wow - congratulations to all you newly pregnants Hope you have fab pregnacies :0)

I am waiting to ovulate - blah blah - trying Agnus Castus this cycle as it is supposed to regulate your hormones (i worry if i have low progesterone or something and that is why i miscarried?)
I have long cycles so i usually ovulate at CD21 ish ......

 

[Rowan75]

worth a try Dee - my cycles are all over the place usually - sometimes Ill ov on CD21 and then the next cyle it'd be CD7?! Thats pcos for you I suppose! I worry about progesterone too - fingers crossed for you x

Hey Dee just skimmed through your thread so excuse if I missed something, but do you take evening primrose all the time or only up until ovulation? You just have to be careful with it, like a bunch of other herbs, its a natural aborter, dilates the cervix. I would really do your research on all herbs, natural they may be, but they can wreak havoc on our bodies and really mess with our hormones etc, especially angus castus! I wish you all the very best of luck, I'm 43 this year and had 5 miscarriages before this little treasure, had to break a few eggs and all, but well worth it! Hugs to you all!

Ok thanks for the advise WannaB - of course you are right, we shouldn't self diagnose and self administer drugs really. I don't take EPO any more so am just trying the Agnus Castus this month until ovualtion.
Not sure it will make any difference but just wanted to give it a go :0)

I'm so sad to be posting here too but having recently/still going through an early miscarriage (should have been 7 weeks but baby died at 5weeks) i'm in such turmoil. I'm 39 and starting to panic that it won't happen. To be honest I was so hung up on actually being able to conceive in the first place I hadn't even thought about the possibilty of a miscarriage. Now it's happened and i'm devastated

Does anybody have any helpful advice for me?

Love Pie xx

Stay positive, I had MMC at 39 a few days before my 40th birthday, that was 18 months ago. Since then I've had 2 chemicals and now, hopefully, we're finally on the road to our rainbow baby, I'll be 42 in Dec and due in Jan. It's hard and you find yourself prioritising everything but don't give up without giving it your best shot xx

We've put off getting married for the last 2 years as we want to go abroad and either I won't be able to travel or baby will be too young. We decided this week that if all is still well this this pregnancy by the time July comes round we'll be booking our wedding for Nov 2012 on a cruise ship.

sorry for your loss hon - its really tough but you can get through it

one thing thats been really positive for me and its a big old cliche - we found it really hard to get pg the first time but fell pg really quickly 2nd time - and first cycle of ttc this time - so the old "you're more fertile after mc / pg" has actually worked out for me

not sure if thats helpful? I know it can be a horrible thing to hear from people so Im sorry if I cause anyone any offence

Its hard being pg after loss Ive got to say - such a worry - and of course I worry that if this pg doesnt work out then goodness its been a long hard road to try and start a family. But hopefully it'll all work out in the end

big hugs and hoping everything goes well for you in the future x

PieMistress - Sorry for your loss!! Like the others said, just try to stay positive. I'm 38, TTC since mid-2009 and have had 2 MC. This is my 3rd time pg in the last 7 months. This time I actually just got pg (slightly unexpected) right after my last MC while I was waiting for AF. It is definitely harder after having a MC. I worry all the time and really read into every symptom. But there's a lot of support on this forum from others that have been though similar situations which helps a lot. You just have to try to keep your head up and hope for the best.

 

[PieMistress]

Thank you so much for your kind and heartfelt words. They are very reassuring and I'm so happy to see that you have BFPs! I will keep my fingers crossed that your beans stay sticky XXX

Did you get any advice from your GP after your 2 miscarriages? I'm not sure how statistically likely I am to have another one? Why oh Why does age have to be such a factor in all this baby malarky - I HATE IT! X

 

[Rowan75]

oh I worked out the stats involved in being over 35, PCOS and after 2 mcs and it was scary - so i figure Im going to ignore the stats!!

My consultant just said we can have tests when we've had 3 mcs (she didnt say if) and that its just one of those things until we know any different - she was lovely dont get me wrong - just not very hopeful - so we shall see! x

 

[BeachChica]

Hi ladies - Ugh! well I'm bad with a terrible report from the doc today. No heartbeat. I am scheduled for a D & C tomorrow. This will be MC #3 for me I guess the only good news is that I can now start testing. The tissue from the D&C will be sent in for analysis and I will also start seeing a specialist for additional testing. I really thought the 3rd try was going to be it for me but I guess I am back to square one and on a mission to see what's wrong with me.

 

[truly_blessed]

so so sorry beachchica. it's so unfair. hope you're back really soon and best of luck. xx

 

[NewToAllThis]

Oh no beachchica, I went cold when I read your post.
I'm so so sorry hun.
Hope the d&c goes ok and you recover quickly.
Am hoping you get some definitive answers from the tests too.
Thinking of you hun xxx

[Deethehippy]

I'm so sorry Beach
Take your time to rest up and do not rush back into work etc - hugs

 

[BeachChica]

Thanks ladies - yesterday was a long day with the procedure but I feel better today and doing some resting this weekend. The D & C is def better than the spontaneous MC I had in March.

 

[Natsby]

You poor thing! Better luck next time! big hug.

 

[PieMistress]

So sorry to hear about your loss Beach, i'm so so so hoping all of us get a baby in our arms soon xx

Hi Dee
I looked you up as you had mentioned EPO in another thread that seems to have been removed and I had asked you about it. What does EPO help with? you had said you thought that was what helped you with your BFP so just wondering. Good luck everyone
