Hi there I am looking some advice please. I am 43 years old and just had my second miscarriage there a couple of weeks ago. I had my first miscarriage last March 2021 and was advised by the doctor not to start trying again until everything had settled and my period had come back. I didn't get trying because I had to get my covid vaccines so was advised to wait until they had settled in my body.
I seem to get pregnant quickly when I am trying because in April there I only tried once and fell pregnant. I had also been to reflexology, which I don't know if that helped me fall pregnant. I already have a 4 year son who I fell pregnant with when I was 38 and had him when I was 39, I did have gestational diabetes while I was pregnant, but it went away after I had my son. When I was trying to get pregnant with my son, I used the clear blue ovulation sticks and I always got flashing smiley faces for a few days then a static smiley face. Before I fell pregnant again there a few weeks ago I had been using the clear blue ovulation sticks again and I wasn't getting the flashing smiley faces, it just went to a static smiley face.
I had been for an early pregnant scan a couple of weeks ago and I had been crampy and had light spotting the day before and on the day of my scan. The nurse said I was very early, only 5 weeks and 3 days, so it was hard to see much, but she could see a pregnancy sac and yolk which was the start of a very early healthy pregnancy. The next day the cramping and the bleeding got worse and that's when I miscarried.
I seem to be ovulating again, I did a clear blue ovulation test last night and a static smiley face appeared, but tonight I tested again and a round circle which indicates low fertility appeared. Maybe because of my age my fertility could be starting to decline or maybe I am not testing soon enough. I feel sad because I may not get the chance to be a mummy again.
