Hi all:
I was a sporadic poster in this board December-February this year. My husband and I just suffered our 2nd loss in 6 months. This one was due to Triploidy (maternal) which we were diagnosed with at 12 weeks. We are beyond devastated.
Im turning 37 in 2 weeks and my dreams of 2 children are quickly diminishing. I'm very very worried my eggs are bad. I've always had a bad pen/plastic chewing habit. I stopped completely when starting to TTC, but I'm worried that the BPA exposure has left me with only bad eggs left. We start working with an RE after I get my first period.
TTC after 2 losses at 37 is such a mindf$&@. I have no time to wait and I'm scared to death of getting pregnant again. I'm already thinking about egg donors. The good news is that I can get pregnant, I'm trying to focus on that, but it's hard.

Please don't worry too much about the pen chewing. I think all of us start looking for what it is "we did wrong," when we face struggles. There are millions of factors at work, most of which are totally out of our control (environmental, genetic).
You didn't do anything wrong. The universe has thrown some hard stuff at you, and you are doing your best.
I hope things go well with the RE.
