BFing and miscarriage - evidence?

I know Kellymom says that there is no proof of BF increasing the risk of miscarriage but I think I have just miscarried early for the second time in the 3 months we have tried. I am still feeding my 18 month DD and she would feed 10 times a day if I let her, I'm back to trying to get her to feed 3-4 times a day (none at night for months) but it has led to quite a few tantrums and with teeth and illness we often go backwards.

I can't wait for DD to self wean or until she is 2 as I'm in my late 30s. I know it could be that my age is leading to poor quality eggs and thats why I am miscarrying.

Anybody seen any evidence to say there is a link between BFing and miscarriage? DH wants to wean completely in the next two weeks now as blames BFing and I beginning to think he might be right.

I was always uneasy about this and wondered if it might make a difference in susceptible women. I stopped bf-ing as soon as I could once I got a +ve.
