TTC after 35

Loss after 4 weeks

I just had a miscarriage after trying to get pregnant for two years.  I am 40 years old and was concerned that I would not get pregnant and that my husband and I would have to look at other options.  Was very excited when we found out we were pregnant but that was short lived.  I lost realized I had lost the baby on Friday, 1/6 and was extremely disappointed (had all of the symptoms of pregnancy, spotting and some cramping, sore boobs, etc so I know it was not a chemical pregnancy).  The upside is that I lost it so early, I was not so emotionally involved because I knew it was a possibility and at the same time, excited because I do have a chance at getting pregnant again.  If anyone has a similar story, looking for you to share you experience with me.

Signed,

Hopeful...  :o)

Re: Loss after 4 weeks

  • I am so sorry for your loss.  It hurts no matter how early it is.  Especially if you have been trying for a while.

     I hope your stay is short and sweet and that you conceive again soon.  The good news is that you know you can get pregnant! 

     

    Good Luck!

  • I am so sorry for your loss.  I had a chemical preganancy in October, and it's heartbreaking no matter when the loss occurred.  This is a great place to find support and encouragement on your journey.  It is recommended that ladies who are over 35 and have been trying on their own for greater than 6 months to consult with a RE.  We waited until after trying for a year on our own before considering medical treatment-it may now be too late for us.  I have heard that when you are PG, that you are more likely to conceive again in the next 6mo-year.  Hope that that is true for both of us.

  • I completely understand what your going through.  After 3 failed IVF's I finally got pregnant only to lose it.  (Chemical pregnancy).  At 42 I know my chances are very low of it working again.   I am now at the end of my 5th IVF and have my Beta tomorrow.  No matter how early you lose a pregnancy it still hurts a lot.  I still hurt from that Chemical Pregnancy.  I hope you heal your heart and feel better.  
  • I'm sorry for your loss. We finally got a BFP after 16 months of trying only to miscarry at 8 weeks. It was devastating. Any loss is, but add the worry of being older and it just adds to the pain. Keep looking at the positives and staying hopeful that it will happen again quickly and you will get your take home baby soon. Good luck.
