pg at 45?

First apologies for this as I know most of you are TRYING to get pg.

What are my chances of being pg do you think(I don't want to be).

I am 45.
Last year I did a home test for perimenopause it was positive. Last 6 months only had a period every other month plus last two were light and 'brownish' more than red.

But i still feel like i ovulate, so i did an opk test out of curiosity and had a positive lh surge on last thurs morn (25th june) and every morning until today. I had sex on the early hours of the sun morn before (20th june).

Please tell me it is unlikely, i have grown up kids.

Thanks

There is also the possibility that your hormones are all over the place and giving you random surges. Incidentally, ovulation PAIN is not normal. It usually means something hormonally isn't quite right.
Hope you get the result you wat!

May I suggest the obvious? It is possible, so do a pregnancy test and find out for sure.

Actually togamommy that isn't true.

An positive ovulation test indicates that you are ABOUT to ovulate. If you were to test two or three days later it would show negative, because the LH hormone, which it measures, has subsided again.

However, if you were pregnant and tested using an ovulation test when your period was due, it would most likely show as a positive again, because the chemical structure of LH is very similar to the structure of hCG which a normal pregnancy test measures.

pineapple: postive opk do not mean pregnant, they mean you've ovulated. They don't detect cinception or pregnancy, only a pregnancy test can do that.
If you had sex 5 days before ovulation then you could be pregnant.

I would say that it is extremely unlikely you are pregnant, given all of that!
