Conception after miscarriage age 40

I've just had a missed miscarriage found at 9 weeks and doctors have advised us to wait at least 6 months before trying again, giving me the usual warnings relating to high risk of future miscarriages, congenital problems, etc, associated with my age. I have a beautiful boy aged 13 months and we were lucky enough to have no problems conceiving either baby. I guess I'm just looking for some comfort, as I've been a real wreck since being in hospital - are there any other mums out there who, after one or even more miscarriages in their 40s went on to have a baby with no problems? Thank you.

alisonn sorry about mmc they are the pits
i had mc in july
got pg october
am 40

not heard that wait 6 months thing?
tbh i would not bother - seems silly advice to a 40 year old

is there any evidence that 'waiting' makes a positive difference to the outcome
