Higher chance of chemicals over 35?

[LuvallmyH]

I think I just had my second chemical in a row. I've had 2 before, but now that I am 38 I am wondering if my age is a factor. Any insight?

I think so. I had 3 in 4 cycles before my son at 38.

Hi hun just wanted to give you my history as it might reassure you a bit!? My first beautiful child was born when I was age 35, miscarriage then at 9 weeks at age 37 (approx), second beautiful child born when I was age 38, third beautiful child born when I was heading for 41. Have been trying for our last and final addition to the family for the past year and since December I had 3 chemicals in a row (none of which got past 5 weeks) and I'm currently pregnant and heading for 7 weeks next Monday, I had a scan Monday just gone and they saw a flicker on baba but it was too small to confirm so going back next Monday for them to check viability and date the pregnancy fingers xd. I just wanted to give you some hope I do think your eggs age but you only need 1 good one!!! I personally took the chemicals as a good sign that I was getting pregnant and really it was only a matter of getting a good egg. You also are only 38 so have potentially a good many reproductive years left yet to try - keep going hun and fingers xd for you.

I'm 43 in November and had my first cp in March this year, although I had a loss in June 2012 at 12 weeks followed by a further loss in October 2012 at 11 weeks I got a bfp at 7dpo in January 2013 and our perfect little boy was born 18/10/2013 just before I turned 42, hope that gives some hope, despite the cp we won't give up and are hoping we are lucky enough again xxx

Wishing you masses of luck for Monday Sunshine xxxx

[Sunshine14]

Enjoy ur little fella Brooklyn fingers xd he will have a little brother or sister soon to play with - the fact you had a chemical recently is a v good sign that you are still fertile xx you just have to catch that good egg -- are you taking any supplements to improve egg quaity?

 

[Oasis717]

Hey Oasis and Luv : ( not good news today. Fetal pole went from 5mm to 5.9mm today and it should grow 1mm a day and no hb. THey diagnosed missed mc and I have opted to do it naturally as I don't want to take any medications, etc. Feeling sad today - I got the news and then had to go straight to work which was a nightmare! I have to just wait now - praying it is not as bad as the mc I had a few years ago as that was pretty horrific and happened when I was at work and I ended up in hospital. My OH said at least I could have a glass of wine now (which is much needed!) but I keep thinking what if they got it wrong ........ this whole ttc business is just like a bloody rollercoaster!!!!

I'm so very sorry. I hope everything works itself out naturally. I know I can't say anything else that is going to make the pain any easier. I'm just really sorry. Be kind to yourself.

 

[Oasis717]

Oh Sunshine I'm so very very sorry, was thinking of you today so hoping for the best, I wish I could say something to help but I know no words really can, just that I had my lo after two back to back losses, it doesn't make the losses any easier I know of course but you will be successful and get that sticky bean, lots of luv to you xxxxxx

I'm glad you are feeling a bit better. It really just takes time. Not much to report here. Cd 7 after my cp & spotting. Af was terrible! I expect to o around cd 16. We will see what happens from there. I remember my first mc it took weeks to bleed once it was confirmed. I hope your moves along quickly. Limbo is a terrible place to be.

 

[Oasis717]

So glad you're feeling a bit better, lovely to hear from you, I'm 8 dpo getting positives and negatives! Xxxxxx
