I don't now If I have periods anymore or am I in menopause ?

Hi Ariola! When we (women) are born we have ALL the eggs we will need for the rest of our lives. Our bodies don't produce anymore eggs. Most of the eggs "die", by the time a woman gets to puberty she has about 300,000 - 400,000 remaining. From puberty onwards, we loose about 1,000 eggs a month. When we run out of eggs this is when we start puberty. No eggs, no ovulation, no period. thus some women having a period, then nothing, then out of the blue she gets one a year later. I always equate it like a can of coke, you can put so many quarters into a machine, sometimes you will get a can, sometimes you wont. this is the same thing. Due to the fact that you haven't had a period in 7 months, means there either is NO eggs left, OR you have a disorder like PCOS (Poly Cystic Ovary Syndrome. There are medications your OB/GYN can prescribe to you that can make you ovulate IF you have eggs remaining. He/She will need to do a Transvaginal ultrasound (internal), this will show 1. IF you have viable eggs remaining 2. IF you have PCOS. From this information he she will come up with a plan! 45 is quite far along in the process, BUT it's definitely not an anomaly. Also you will probably have to go to genetic counselling, as being "older" and pregnant Can PERHAPS bring a lot of negatives - compared to a younger woman. You might have to be a patient of a local high risk pregnancy group. Everything is ifs until you are seen by your specialist. In the mean time get as healthy as you can, have yourself and your partner start taking prenatal vitamins - these have been shown to dramatically increase both of your fertility's. I would really like you to have a full blood work up, and physical - to rule out any problems, then have a good FRANK discussion with your doctor. Make sure you write down ALL you want to know, either take a pen and write down the answers, or take someone else with you for he/she to fill in your blanks! As usually when you REALLY want something, you WONT hear the negatives coming from specialists. For example IF the doctor says "Becoming pregnant is 99% impossible" your brain would actually hear "there is actually 1 chance in every 100 of getting pregnant, so there is obviously a chance here of pregnancy" It's true - we ALL are guilty of only hearing what we want to. So do that too. IF you smoke STOP - both of you, IF you drink STOP - both of you. Be as healthy as you can be, before trying OK? Good luck and I wish for you a successful healthy pregnancy and baby!
