Hi, really apologise for the possibly insensitive subject. But I'm 42. One miscarriage at 36, then unexplained infertility for almost 6 years until endometriosis was discovered and removed a month before I turned 42. Since then I've had two pregnancies. Each took 3-4 months to conceive, but both miscarried at 6-7wks.
So three miscarriages in total. I'm trying to decide whether my eggs are now just too old and cranky. Is this just going to be months and months of misery if I continue to try? Or is there a possibility of a happy ending? Obviously I am only getting older. Each miscarriage takes its toll. Not just the miscarriage itself but all the constant mentalling and stress from the moment of the bfp. I have no children currently (if that makes a difference).
I know everyone is different, and there is no magic formula. But I wanted to know your experiences (if you are happy to share). I know from reading the pregnant over 40 thread that there are many successful pregnancies. But I was wondering if that is sometimes after a struggle. The stats suggest a 45% miscarriage rate at my age, but from what I read it often seems much higher. Just trying to get some perspective at a dark time. Thank you.
