The odds are exactly the same. It only elevates after 3 in a row. I had 5 in a row before getting pregnant this time, so that combined with now being 40 put me in a high risk catagory. Only 1% of couples will experience 3 or more miscarriages in a row.
I say go for it. At 39 your odds are still good. If you have another one, don't wait. Ask for testing to see if they can determine a cause. See a good RE or an OB that specializes in high risk.

You go girl! I'm over 40 and am 15 weeks pregnant with twins using donor eggs. We spent about 4 years trying with my own eggs to no avail. You increase your odds with the younger donor eggs, as older women with older eggs have a higher miscarriage rate. It's the best thing we ever did. Do your homework though...check with the CDC regarding the donor egg facilities.
Met the man of my dreams a few years ago and know we are will spend the rest of our lives together. He has a son in college and we are both nearing 40 years old. I was on the pill and VERY surprised when I turned up pregnant a few months ago. After some denial we both we're looking forward to this baby, especially me as I have always wanted to be a mom! Unfortunately, after few weeks of cramps and spotting, I am no longer pregnant.
Although we have considered getting pregnant... but never really tried technically. Well my last period started on 10/23/2012 It lasted it's usual 5 days. My ex and I seperated for a while, but we reconciled ironically the same week I ovulate. Well according to the charts I should have been ovulating 11/2-11/8. We had constant sex during that time period..especially on 4,5 and 6th. although I didn't know that was my ovulation time until after the fact.
Me and my wife are just recently married ( 3 months), and we are having trouble getting pregnant. I'm 52 and she's 43, both have never had any kids. Although my wife has had two abortions, in the past (17 & 22 y.o.) we both had STD's in the past, which were all cured. My sperm analysis is very good, and her ultra sound results were very good too. She's still producing eggs, but we cannot conceive.
It is pretty rare ( not impossible ) to get pregnant after 43 with your own eggs. Everyone has heard of someone who did (they are lucky!), but more often I hear of people who don't. As long as you are ovulating, there is hope. If you really want a baby badly enough, consider donor eggs. If you are healthy, there is no reason not to get pregnant, and its MUCH easier to do with young eggs. Once you feel the baby kick you will forget about whose DNA is whose!

The chances of success are enhanced in those women who had only small parts of their fallopian tubes removed, or whose tubes were closed using rings or clips. Older women are less likely than younger woman to become pregnant after this procedure. The success rates range from 40% to 85% and depends on your age, length of the remaining fallopian tubes, amount of scar tissue in your pelvic area and type of tubal ligation procedure you had. Do contact a gynecologist.
I am pregnant with my third child and have had high fluid levels this whole pregnancy. I am 37 weeks now and my doctor has scheduled me for an induction next week. I have been measuring about 40 weeks since I was 28 weeks pregnant so I am ready for her to come out. I have never been induced and have heard all the horror stories. Does anyone have any positive experiences to share?!
The sooner you start the better, your eggs are aging and many docs won't use your own eggs after 40-43 because it decreases their success rates for their practice. After 40 rates drop every year, I think for 40 it's around 30% if all your testing comes out okay. There's a new procedure where they do uterine scraping prior to a transfer and studies have shown it significantly increases your chances by as much as 30-35%. Find a doc that knows about this.
