Hi every one :) Google brought me here ... So.. I'm 48 ! A week late , feeling sick and boobs feel ready to explode !!! Never ever late !! Had my last child at 41! That was a surprise! 2nd at 26 and first at 18 ! I also have had 3 mc. Last one 4 years ago so guess I am v fertile !!! Maybe it's perimenapause? Maybe I'm kidding myself ? I'm terrified I could be p!! Keep thinking don't be so bloody stupid ! ( my OH s opinion ) or I am as I know my own body ! Can't stop hypo ventilating ! Any one else been p at this age ? Oh and I have a 10 year old grandson and a 5 month grand daughter ! Oh the shame :(

There is no reason to feel shame! You need to POAS (pee on a stick)

Waiting a week will do nothing to change the facts. The sooner you know, the sooner you can adjust. Or carry on. Poas asap.

Agreed. If you are pregnant you need to start preparing. Putting off the discovery will only give you less time to make decisions and adjust.

Could be menopause symptoms.

Hope so ! Really at this present time menopause would be more welcome , been reading about it but it's so out of the blue as normally like clockwork , a friend of mine did recently miss a period and did 7 tests in panic but negative and doc said the start of menopause , but I fall pregnant so easily ! Last time I think we only did the deed once and with a condom, sorry if that's TMI ! Tbh it's the same this time ! Long odds for anyone never mind an old crock like me ;) oh well watch this space....

Ok then I'm hoping for a negative for you. And tbh you really should check so if you decide to terminate you are early doors so it's easier.

Good luck x

I agree with softly. .the sooner the better, that way you have more time to think through your options and decide what you want.

Agree with all the others - surely, it would be better to know? Tests are so cheap now, and if you're terrified and hyperventilating, delaying it won't help matters in any way.

I know lots of women who have been pregnant in their late 40s, so it could be a positive, but if that would be a 'total disaster' as you say, you need to start thinking about your options.

Thanks ... So nearly bought a test on the way home from work but was with OH and he just thinks I'm bonkers ! So I didnt :( still no period or even a touch of spotting , got niggly pains , shArpe than period pain and just a heavy feeling ? Half day tomorrow so get one then . Tbh if I am I doubt it would be viable given my history , last mc when I was 45 at 8 weeks , sorry to keep u waiting !

I really can't understand why you wouldn't. For a pound, you could know - and surely he'll have to one way or another?
