Miscarriage at 37

Miscarriage at 37

Hi everyone. I don't post here very often but lurk quite a bit. I think this is a great place to come and get some wonderful insight though. I feel comfortable sharing my story here, so here it goes.
I had finally gotten my bfp on 11/16/11 after 8 months of trying. I have had two other successful pregnancy's so I was thrilled to be having the final addition to our family. On 12/1 the spotting began in the evening. I had spotted a small amount with my 18 month old daughter, but I knew this was different. I went in the next morning for an ultrasound which showed an abnormal sack of fluid. The doctor said only time would tell... As the bleeding continued, I knew it was over. I guess I can consider myself lucky in a way that the bleeding wasn't any heavier than a normal menstrual cycle and the cramps were very, very minimal. I was only 6 weeks pregnant so maybe that's why?? Anyhow, a week later I went for another ultrasound. This time it showed that my body was expelling the pregnancy on it's own. I am trying to think positive in the way that it is better that the miscarriage happened now rather than later, if it had to happen. I am so incredibly disappointed and angry with my body though and TTC can be so exhausting. I will be turning 38 in April so I can't help but wonder if my egg quality is a factor. I really want to try again but dh and I are both concerned. I think it is worth one more try though, but if we are successful I know I will be a nervous wreck the entire pregnancy

 

 

Sorry to hear about your loss... I don't have much insight to offer for your situation (I don't know much about egg quality changing,etc.) but I think if you feel in your heart there is someone missing in your family, you should continue to try, and if need be, seek the advice/help of a doctor who specializes and can give you some insight??

I have lost a baby before so I know how difficult this is, and how down you must be feeling. All I can say is it will pass (in the sense that it will get easier and you will think of it less), and once you become pregnant again you will love that baby more because of your experiences....

Again, my condolescences... my thoughts and prayers are with you
