Trying to conceive at 40 FTM

I’ve recently got married and due to my age, we have been trying to conceive. My husband is 8 years younger than me. We were lucky in a way as it didn’t take us long to conceive but we lost our first bb at 7 weeks. Thereafter it took us another 4 months to conceive again. Sadly we lost the bb again at 8 weeks. I am devastated and am doing different tests to try and find out the root cause. I would like to know if there are mummies out there who has been in my situation and successfully gave birth to a healthy baby ?

Me and my hub is 5yrs gap. He’s younger. We went for fertility check before we try for our 1st. Both our body is good to conceive. We had our 1st when I’m 39 and lost it at week 6. There’s no specific reason as to why we lost it.. Took us another 3 yrs to conceive again. Now I’m 42 and bb is arriving in a week’s time. All good and healthy. This 3 yrs, we nva go to do another fertility check. We just let nature take its course. Think most importantly is your mindset.. don’t get too stressed up (which I know is difficult) but have to try.. and also try going to tcm to tune your body if you believe in tcm. To me even you don’t believe but somehow is still good for my body. So no harm.
