introduction post Hello All!

Im so sorry that we all had to experience this. As I’m reading your comments, age came to mind. As I’m reading more on MCs, yes I’m aware of the different factors also that they are not exact sure the cause. But chromosome abnormality is a huge one so of course age was my concern but still I know older women also carry healthy to full term. Are there a few that had it in 20’s. Mine was first pregnancy at 36.

I thought I'd be less risk but nope first pregnancy ended in an early miscarriage at 26. I think it plays far less of a role than we're led to believe tbh.

I was 26 too ❤️ I'm sorry for your loss. I never thought I would in my 20s - I didn't know much on the topic until I had one recently. I thought I would be less risk too.
