TTC at 41

Thank you. It’s been very difficult this past week. I lost the baby after seeing a heartbeat last Friday although the baby was measuring 2 weeks behind, that same day I began bleeding and unfortunately I have now miscarriages. Many many emotions and thoughts. I would still very much like to keep trying although after this I will give my body and mind a few months to settle and talk with doctors and my husband to see if it’s worth us trying again. Thank you for all your kind comments.
 
oh I'm so sorry to read this, Rhianne :( It's such a terrible thing to go through. Huge hugs to you - I hope you take the time and heal.
 
Thank you so much for your kind words. After the miscarriage we went away to visit family for a couple of weeks. The break was great and was much needed after everything that’s happened. I ended up getting Covid this week, feeling very sorry for myself at the moment. Ive been double vaccinated and thankfully I think I’m over the worsted of it now.

I had my period and I’m now on CD9. This was the first period I’d had since the miscarriage and I am sure I ovulated as usual cd 15. I am using the Ava bracelet to help me track as well as LH strips. I’m really worried about trying again after the miscarriage and because of my age and I did have another miscarriage in 2018. I’m thinking of giving my body a break for this cycle as I have Covid atm and then maybe trying again in November. Just trying to work out if it’s the right thing to do. We would love another baby but as you can imagine it’s daunting after the miscarriage. I would really appreciate some words of support and to hear others experience. I’m thinking that my egg quality is to blame here and wondered if anyone has any natural strategies that might help me improve it.
many thanks
 
I'm so sorry to hear of your struggles. I can relate as I had a miscarriage last October. I, too, got both vaccine shots and then ended up with Covid. I can't help but feel annoyed that two cycles were "wasted" because of my Covid vaccines, then another month gone because of Covid. And now I have bronchitis and am on doxycycline which has messed up my cycle. As if my age and egg quality and count aren't already against me, I feel like every month something else is coming up.
 
Ah, I hear you. I’m so sorry that you experienced a miscarriage in October. I’m also sorry that you are in this situation with your health at the moment and completely empathise with your feelings of annoyance and time wasted. I really hope that your bronchitis clears up and that your cycles start to become more predictable again. When I’m unwell, I always find that I get much more down in the dumps about things. Being unwell doesn’t help with anything does it.

I have conflicting thoughts, like maybe giving my body a break from TTCing will workout better and mean that if I get pregnant again, I will have a better chance of a healthy baby, but on the other hand, I feel like am I just wasting more time?

I sincerely hope that when the time is right we will both be able to get pregnant and welcome healthy babies. I wish you the best and lots of baby dust. A bit of time to let our bodies heal might make all the difference
