Second miscarriage at 39, looking for hope and advice

I have recently had a second miscarraige in a row. I am nearly 39. I am devastated and really beginning to worry that this is going to happen for us. Both miscarraiges we early. But it still doesn't make it any easier. Is there anyone out there that was the same age as me and managed to have a baby even after 2 miscarraiges? I suppose I am looking for a bit of hope. Is there anything I can do to prevent another miscarraige if I was lucky enough to get pregnant again?
I am absolutely gutted. I tried not to get my hopes up until I was out of the woods but it was too hard not to...

I had 2 miscarriages, followed by 2 healthy pregnancies. I then had a 3rd miscarriage at 39, followed by a healthy pregnancy at 40. Currently nap trapped by my 3mo (and absolutely melting!) It really is devestating having multiple losses but it doesn’t mean you can’t go on to have the family you’ve always dreamed of. Hold on hope xx

Yes I had my first child at 39 and my second at 42 with two miscarriages in between. The one bit of hope I took was I got pregnant in the first place. Both babies were healthy with unremarkable pregnancies, but the second I was anxious every day. Didn’t help that she was the hide and seek champion at midwife appointments and I kept getting sent up to the hospital for scans (although I did get to see her several more times so that was good).

I know how hard it is but try to stay positive. Wishing you all the best.

I’m sorry to hear this. Regarding is there anything you can do or take - yes there is but it doesn’t obviously guarantee a positive outcome however it can improve it.
In my trust two consecutive losses over 35 allows for a recurrent pregnancy loss clinic referral. If you can afford it, go private to get blood tests etc to see if you are missing anything.
Many women find progesterone pessaries and aspirin from testing positive help and you’ll need a GP/private specialist to prescribe the progesterone.
I have had three MC since 2024 and pregnant again - I’m on progesterone aspirin and clexane. I have one child who is 3.
supplement wise - I’ve been taking a female probiotic, omega 3, Coq10, vitD and Methylfolate as my blood tests showed something that means I can’t absorb folic acid as well as others.
It starts with the egg is a good resource book wise though I find it quite intense.
Having said all of that, I found myself getting obsessed with everything and I took some time out between loss 2 and 3 as I needed a MH break. Be kind to yourself - it’s not easy xx

I had 2 mc then a baby, another 2mc then my second baby. So 4 mc but two children.

Baby asprin and progesterone may help. I also had clexane, but only because they misdiagnosed me with a blood clotting issue!
