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 ?

Sorry to hear that. I am in my early 30s and husband in mid 30s - we have been through 2 early pregnancy losses as well. After the 2nd time we went for miscarriage profile check, all was fine. I started tcm to nurse and condition my body, while husband started taking fertility supplements too (on our own discretion, not gynae’s prescription). Just happened that we were moving house around that period and I really wanted a complete rest and recovery from the 2 incidents, so I left my job. Got conceived the month after and I am entering my 3rd trim now… I would think that a ‘stress-free’ lifestyle is what helps me to have come this far this time. Wishing u all the best!
