Also, being 44 now and already having 3 healthy children, and having a DH who is not enthusiastic about any more children, I wouldn't go down the path of IVF. We are also just on one income so don't have much money.

Your chances are much higher of trying natrually than with IVF at 44 anyway. Good luck xx

RE - reproductive endocrinologist.
They are not going to tell you any different than anyone else has, unfortunately. Reproductive Endocrinologists are not exactly known for their tact, unfortuately
I feel like we are getting hung up on one thing - there really is no difference between a chromosomal abnormality and your age issue. A chromosomal abnormality can indeed happen to anyone, the odds are wayyyyy higher the older we get. So it very likely was BOTH a chromosomal abnormality but also your age (because the risks of one go up with the other) I am really sorry to have to keep harping on the same thing but I just keep feeling like there is some confusion we are having here.
Again, I am not trying to talk you out of or into anything (because I could not be deterred at 41/42 either even though I knew and understood the risks and it worked out for me by grace of God and it does for other people too) but I just want you to understand what the issue is and why everyone is saying the things that they are saying. Everyone is in solid agreement except the ER people who were seeing you at a very bad time and maybe they did not want to go into the particulars at that point - so they may have fibbed a little so as not to add to your unhappiness at that point in time. please listen to what everyone else is saying and base your decision on the reality and go in with eyes wide open. It can still happen, but it's going to be harder and may not end up happily.

Hey, thanks Atomic for your reassuring message. I’m feeling a little better health wise although the thrush medication wasn’t helpful at all, I think it actually made things worse…?! Of more...
