I went into peri-menopause about 6 months ago, and after a delay on starting HRT as my GP would not prescribe due to family cancer, I started about 8 weeks ago and I feel a million times better - it even stopped my periods - result! (Spoiler-not a result)
DH was told many years ago that he was likely infertile, and we have not used contraception nor have I fallen pregnant in the 10+ years we have been together. A decade. He is mid 50s, I am 48.
and pregnant. I am about 6 weeks. I have adult DC so I sort of recognised the feeling,
and took a test this evening. I made a furtive trip to Tesco and couldn’t even remember where the tests would be on the shelves.
we have talked, I’ve cried. A lot. I know what needs to be done, and we are 100% on the same page. I absolutely do not want another child or pregnancy, but I just think I’m in complete shock.
how can this have happened? After 10 years? (DH was previously married a while back and again, no pregnancies.)
