Over 40 and 2 miscarriages

[Jackie370]

I have a 2 1/2 yr old boy who is perfect in every way.  I gave birth to him 4 weeks before my 40th birthday.  Last year we tried to have another baby but I had a miscarriage at 5 weeks and had to get a d & c.  This year a few months ago I got pregnant again at age 42 and had another miscarriage at 9 weeks.  My OB said it was just a chromosome problem and I had to have another d & c.  I will be 43 yrs old aug.1st.  I also gained 30 lbs since I had my son.  I'm trying to lose weight now and taking vitamins everyday.  I'm thinking of trying one more time for another baby but I'm scared to go through the depression again if it doesn't work out.  What do you think my chances are of going full term this time?  Am I just too old?  Please help, I will take any advice I can get.
Thank you

I'm so sorry for your losses.  You are not too old, I had a D&C in January at 12 weeks, I'll be 41 tomorrow.  My Dr tells me I'm not too old, I have just as much chance as anyone to have a healthy pregnancy.  I to am scared of it happening again, I think it's natural to feel that way.  Good luck xx

Hi, I totally understand. I had a miscarriage in January (I'm 43) It must be awful to have 2 in a row. I am still TTC - scared about another loss but I really want to keep trying. We are not too old! All the best.
