Miscarriage hope

I have been meaning to write this for many many years and have just got round to it. I don’t want to give anyone false hope but I know when I was in the situation I’m writing about that i trawled mumsnet for any kind of hope. I had my first child at 40 with no problems. I got pregnant very quickly and hax a straightforward pregnancy. A year later we tried for a second child. Fast forward 3 years and 4 miscarriages later and I had almost given up hope. I had had two of the miscarriages tested and was told that basically my eggs were old and I would need an egg donor. We looked at IVF but were told I had a 12% chance of success. Well my second child is now 10 and snuggling with me on the sofa. I had him totally naturally at 44. As I said I don’t want to give anyone false hope but it does happen sometimes. If you’re almost at the point of giving up as I was then sometimes it does work out. ❤️

Lovely.

similar situation here. Gave up all hope and gave up trying after my 7th miscarriage. Aged 42.
Told probably egg quality was to blame.

That was that, got the pill. Waited for 1st day of my period to begin taking it. Period never arrived.

At 43 I had my bloody amazing miracle baby.
Just a bit taller than me now, eating me out of house & home teenager.

Indeed there can be hope!

Thank you both. I'm 9 years, 4 miscarriages and a neonatal death at 22 weeks pregnant into my journey. We're still trying naturally currently but have our first IVF consultation a week on Monday (having PGT testing on the NHS as I was diagnosed with chromosome translocations). Trying to keep some hope alive but bringing a baby home often feels further away than ever x
