Pregnancy in Menopause

Though you said you know enough about menopause I shall say exact definition. Menopause is defined as cessation of menstrual periods for twelve consecutive months. As you see, still you should take care of birth control for these twelve months. During the time, following what you think has been your last period you need to use birth control measures to avoid unwanted menopause pregnancy. Though it is not likely to happen, still is possible. As you can conclude, pregnancy versus menopause, pregnancy after menopause or peri menopause and pregnancy is really an issue if your ovulation has actually ceased. You should not be so sure you could not become pregnant just because you do not have your menstrual cycles. That is not relevant, since you still might ovulate and be able to become pregnant. My advice is you should definitely listen what your doctor keeps telling you. As long as you have been using birth control, you can continue year longer, if that is safer.

HI, I THOUGHT I COULD NOT GET PREGNANT BECAUSE I WAS IN MENOPAUSE, I HAD NOT HAD A PERIOD FOR OVER 2 YEARS, WELL, IN 5 MONTHS I WILL BE GIVING BIRTH TO MY 3 CHILD... OLDEST IS 26, MY YOUNGEST THUS FAR IS 18, AND NOW A BABY... GO FIGURE!!! THIS ALL HAPPENED NATURALLY, NO HELP FROM A DOCTOR, THIS WAS NOT PLANNED, IT WAS A TOTAL SUPRISE!!!!! OMG! WISH ME LUCK...

I am 47 yrs old. My menstrual has always been on time. Around two yrs ago it began to be 5 days late sometimes. It is now 3 weeks late. I keep thinking I may be pregnant. We use protection but anything can happen.
(Married over 20 Years) Another women my age says her period comes at anytime. She insits we are in menopause. I am wondering every month if I am late. But 3 weeks is scary. I use the bathroom constantly another meno and preg symtom. I do have my 6 month ck up this week. We will see. Anyone else have this problem?

Your post is so amazing Debby! I hope all's well with you now that it's a month later and you are presumably due in 4 months. Could you email me and give me some details on the symptoms you had before you found out you were pregnant? Also I would like to know if this is more difficult than your other two pregnancies. I would be grateful. My email is .

Thanks,

Julie

Could you let me know the symptoms you were haveing. Also, when did you have your last period, at what age. I feel I might be pregnant but so far my pregnancy tests were negative. I need some help on what symtoms you had. I know everyone is different. Thank you. Linda

I am 49 years old and have not had a period for almost 2 years. The past several weeks, I have had all the symptoms of being pregnant. My stomach is even buldging and I could have sworn that I felt something move the other night. I have taken a home pregnancy test, but it turned up negative. I would be greatful if you shared your symptoms with me. I haven't talked to my doctor yet because I don't want him to think I am crazy. My email is . Please respond.

Debby, Please write and give me more information on the "early signs" you experienced. I still HAVE my period every month. I'm 55 1/2 and this is the first month I have not had a period for 46 days. I have gone as long as 43 days, but NOT 46. I have symptoms but I'm thinking the could just be menopause. My doctor told me there was NO WAY I could EVER get pregnant on my own at this age and NOT to worry! Your story tells me that is NOT true. My doc said the oldest person to get preg without help was 54 and in the book of record. (was it you?) :-) I have cause to worry and I KNOW I am still ovulating. I am feeling SO tired. Just dragging. I'm starting to feel nauseated in the morning when I brush my teeth. (slightly) and now when I get hungry at noon, I feel the same feeling instead of hunger pains. I DON'T sleep AT ALL (so it seems.. well, 2 or 3 hours and then I'm awake) but I have been having that on and off for past 6 months. I think this is the same symptoms as MENOPAUSE..... My tummy is not getting bigger where typically it DOES. I am losing weight and I have just been fighting the weight gain (that i thought was due to menopause!) Help me out here! I'd love to hear from you! please! Thank you (oh PS, I've spotted one time in the 46 days.
