Hello, i am 40 and had a silent miscarriage at about 7 weeks last which was diagnosed at 12 -14 weeks and took a full month to complete after a failed or incomplete tablet based procedure.

we are still trying but i have found that my periods dont seem normal and are now more 3 weekly and i dont seem to get positive ovulation testing

does anyone have similar experience and have any thoughts or ideas please - i feel like im at the end of the road but this is my second marriage and my husband doesnot have any children - I have 1 aged 12

please tell me its not too late

Hi - sorry for your loss. I am not sure my story would be of comfort but you are not alone. I am 39 - my new partner and I have had 4 miscarriages since Jan 13 and while I have a happy 7yr old we'd like a child together. It can take months for your body to recover from any loss - sometimes its taken 2 cycles to fall pregnant again the last one was 12 months with lots of opk +. It's not too late - watch your cycles as ovulation is roughly 14 days before your AF and work out days when you should BD and enjoy trying. I also spoke to my GP who was very supportive and I am now under consultant observation if I fall pregnant again. Talk to your GP - they maybe able to offer support.

Hey, I am so so sorry for your loss. I have experienced 2 miscarriages. One more recently at 39, I MC in Sept 12 and conceived my precious boy in Dec 12 right before my 40th birthday....the best news ever! I was full of fear but went on to delivery Sept 13.

I didn't feel ready to conceive within the first few months so periods were last thing from my mind but I think, thinking back that they settled down quite quickly. I have a short cycle of average 24 days so I ovulate early, around day 9/10.

Sounds like you need to give body time and don't put too much pressure on yourself to conceive. I have used an ovulation test kit over 3/4 months to work out when I ovulate but I did not use to conceive. I just wanted to know when it 'might' happen so I didn't stress about it.

I hope that everything settles down soon and you get your wish xx

Hello,

I had a silent miscarriage in May this year (between week 7-10) and the first two-three months after the operation my periods were longer and further apart than normal, after that they seem to fluctuate between 24 and 29 days.

Just found out that I am pregnant again, and keeping fingers crossed it will work this time. I am 43....

Hi, I've had four miscarriages, and have a perfect (if stroppy !!) 3 year old now, whom I gave birth to when I was almost 42. My periods seemed to get a little closer together when I was around 40, but I still managed to conceive naturally (although I swear by the legs-in-the-air afterwards method!) x

Thank you all so much - sometimes you feel like you are so on your own and then you hear all these replies and realise that you are quite normal after all xxx

Dear Henny, it is not TOO LATE.

I am 46 and just found out I am pregnant. Did some research on the internet and they say that's not possible to conceive naturally after age of 45. It was not a case with me.

I have been living with a partner for 2 years, not using any contraceptives as the statistics say I am too old to conceive :)

Keep trying on a baby. Maybe it's a coincidence, but I got pregnant after taking chewy multivitamins age 6+ from Wilkinsons and Evening Primrose caps from Aldi :)

good luck x
