I am 42 years old and I have had 3 miscarriges in the last 12 months and 1 two years ago the fist one was at 12 weeks and the remaining 3 were 7 weeks 1 day, 5 weeks 6 days and the last one was 5 weeks 1 day. I have been taking folic acid and other vitimins sugested for conception and pregnancy and have been avoiding alcohol.
I dont smoke and I have been carful about what I eat.
I dont drink tea or coffee. I only drink green tea. I do reduce the number of cups of green tea I drink to 3 cups a day while I am pregnant.I have read so many different articals about miscarriage that I am now totally confussed. is there anything anyone can suggest to allow me and my husband have a healthy baby.

You may want to go to a fertility speacialist due to your age. Your body has expelled the majority of the good eggs while you were younger. I would see an expert if you really wish to find the cause to your miscarriages.

If you have had 3 consecutive miscarriages, you are entitled to have tests done on the nhs to find out why, there are many, many reasons, such as (this sounds awful but it can happen) your body might not recognise your husbands genetic make up in the sperm (or something like that) and reject it, this can be solved with some type of medicine they give you. The bottom of your womb might not also stay closed tight enough, so the baby just falls through (this can be corrected with stiches which are removed just before labour), there are also many other reasons (i read up on this because i had 2 consecutive miscarriegs, but the third pregnancy was successful). You should get these tests done though, ask your doctor to refer you, at least you know you have no problem falling pregnant in the first place! I hope it all works out for you! Good luck! x

as most of the previous answers have stated- Make sure that your husband is living healthy as well. Once you get that straightened out then you should really consider a specialist- a fertility doctor maybe? They should do all of the appropriate test ( to the both of you) to determine where the problem is. I am so sorry for your losts, and Good luck.

My husband and i had three consecutive miscarriages before we were refered to a specialist on the nhs. We had various tests which all came back fine. We were advised to try again, after suffering a fourth miscarriage i was diagnosed with a gene mutation that means the blood supply to our babies was restricted by blood clots forming in the placenta. I have been prescribed medication to combat this. I would push your GP for a referral.

I feel for you completely. I had 4 miscarriages before I had 2 children - it leaves you mentally exhausted and unable to understand why.
I tried various things - including going to a specialist in Harley Street, but nothing helped.
Finally I used a local homeopath - I had a number of food intolerances and low levels of vitamins and minerals - she sprted this out over time and I think that was the key factor in having my children - I still use her now - I really think I have a lot to thanks her for.
I really hope that things work out for you - it's one of the hardest things in life to deal with in my opinion - good luck.

It sounds like you are doing all the right things. But your hubby also needs to be doing to right things also - he is 50% of the picture.
Do a search on Foresight preconception - they are an organisation who specialise in helping people conceive naturally.

Sounds like your healthy and taking care of yourself.
I would push your Doctor to send you to a specialist.
Once you pass 35 it's alot harder to conceive.
Good luck.
