    You know, I think that's a perfectly normal reaction...I remember feeling the same way after my miscarriages, I thought there was no way in heck that I wanted to even try again. I had no desire to. And then all of a sudden, I knew I was ready. But you know, everything is still so fresh for you, when the time is right, you'll know it. Give yourself time to grieve, and time to heal.

    {{{Many hugs}}}

    HippyChickMommy is right... Give yourself time to grieve and time to heal before trying again, and especially before writting it off as a lost cause.

    You have a very long time to keep trying. My Dad was already in his thirties before he fathered us, all seven! And my Mom had the last of us when she was 35, which made my Dad 46 years old... Just focus on staying healthy and happy, and you two will be just fine.

    Best wishes on healing, my thoughts are with you. *hug*

    He shouldn't feel bad at all! It took him this long to find the right girl to have babies with, didn't it? *smile* It's just the right time for him. Niether of you should feel bad, for any reason. You are at the beginning of your journey together... Things will happen when the time is right.

    I heard it from several people. i didn't know how right it was that is why i said asked a doctor. Dear, you are NOT a failure. Don't let this stop you from trying.

    Thinking of you in your time of loss.

    here's something for hubby: my brother was 40 when the first daughter was born.
    I have a friend who had his first acknowledged child at 59.
    Sure the moms are younger in these cases, but swimmers have time!

    take this as a time to say goodbye to the soul you thought was there and welcome the life you hope to carry.

    and don't listen to a single relative in the next three months. esp. about your diet.
    do try to shed some weight/ tone belly muscles, if you can, to up conception chances and ease of pregnancy.
    I was told that either under or overweight mamas can get a bit more difficulty than they have to. (I was 98 lbs at 6 weeks gestation-not a problem anymore, however...damn hormones)

    first, about waiting a year, i got pregnant 2 months after my first miscarriage and gave birth to a happy healthy 8 lb girl and after my second miscarriage i got pregnant again 3 months later and gave birth to another happy healthy 8 lb girl!!




    second, to your hubby, our best friends (my best friend married my husbands best friend) our just now getting ready to start trying to concieve and he's 30!
    there is plenty of time to make babies!!

    my biggest piece of advice is to not stress about it. take the time you feel you need to mourn your loss and when your ready to move on, not forget but move on, everything will fall into place : )


    much love and many healing vibes to you and your husband

    I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Please give the biggst hug in the world to your lovely husband and get him to give one back to you from me. He seriously sounds like a man among men and the both of you are so lucky to have each other!
    In terms of his age I wouldn't be worrying so much. My friend from Tunisia was one of sixteen children, when I met them they were in their thirties and I thought they would be like the middle child but it turned out they were the youngest, his dad was in his nineties and had conceived him when he was in his sixties...boys can make babies far longer than women can! so good luck with it all, take it easy and don't stress and I am sure that if you manage to heal your heart and get your body happening for you you will be a proud mumma sometime.
    :)

    Although sperm production changes over time, and there is some evidence saying older men *may* contribute to birth defects, and sperm mobility definitaly changes producing less fertile sperm we're talking about 60, 70 year old men. Not yer husband at all! And as has been pointed out, older men create babies ALL the time. Look at Mick Jagger.

    My youngest grandchild is now 6 months old. Her daddy is 57. They had trouble keeping a pregnancy but it was because of my daughter, not her husband. My daughter didn't have enough progesteron to maintain a pregnancy. They lost eight in the year and a half before Ciencia was concieved. They were all very early miscarriages. If they hadn't been so focused on getting pregnant, they probably wouldn't even have known they were pregnant for most of them. They are now thinking of another baby.

    My husband became a father for the first time at the age of 36. And then it was through adoption.

    Take the time you need to heal and then try again. Your husband has nothing to worry about. When the time is right, you will have a beautiful little one.
