    it took me and my fiance another year after our miscarrige to conceive the son we had 3 weeks ago. Also yes your eggs are of older quality but it is still possible to have a healthy baby. A patient of mine is pregnant with a healthy baby and she is 47! naturally conceived after 3 miscarriages, so there is still hope.

    I'm 40, had DD at 38 and had an early miscarriage at 39.

    Despite my "advanced" years I've always got pregnant very easily, though my ob has warned me that it's not the "getting pregnant' that's a problem so much as the staying pregnant.

    At my age, I'm going to be sensible - give the natural a red hot go for a few more months (with charting) and then go back to the ob and see what he recommends in terms of testing/IVF etc.

    Thanks !

    Thanks to all of you who have replied to my questions !

    Makes me feel so much better knowing all I need is one good egg surley I have one left.
    I have a son who is 13mnths but I miscarried before him so I guess I am banking on the same this time. So once again thanks to all who answered. Have been ttc as soon as the bleeding stopped after the D & C 3 weeks ago now my boobs are playing me up tingling think my hormones are still messing me around surely I can't have fallen pregnant again ! took me 12 mnths last time I miscarried to fall again. There are so many emotions that go through your head when the Dr says Im sorry your baby has died just want to feel whole again. Sometimes I think I think too much !

    I am 44 and my hubby is also 44 so I guess we both just praying we are not too old just yet !

    To all those in a similar position to us GOOD LUCK may god bless us all
