I'm 39 and got pregnant for the first time this year after years of trying. This happened naturally and found out the week before we were going for our first appointment at a private clinic. We had been refused treatment on the NHS. Went for my first trimester scan and the embryo had not developed. Feeling very sad, angry and disappointed that our first pregnancy failed. The mid wife said there is a good chance that we could go on to have successfully pregnancy in the next six months.
My husband has low mobility, I have endometriosis and microscopic coltis.
I was all set to try ICSI as this is what the ACS has advised as the treatment we required, even although I couldn't get the funding on the NHS.
We have decided to keep trying for a natural concept for the next 6 months.

I am not an expert, but some times it is a good idea to check your insuline level and have you progesterone controlled after the ovulation period, it can normally increase the success of pregnancy.
I read that about your insulin levels, so I'm trying a low GI diet. I was eating a special diet before I got pregnant. Trying not to eat a lots of bread, wheat or gluten. I had a bad flare of my colitis when pregnant and could hardly eat anything, had really bad sickness too, but I would have been worth all if I could have had a healthy baby.
