I'm 47. Should I believe this?

Just turned 47 and got this result on an easy at home test (mid morning, same result mid afternoon)

5 weeks since last period (usually fairly regular at 28 days - been a little less regular over last few months, so assumed perimenopause was starting)

Not actually ttc, but definitely not doing anything to prevent it.

So.... would you believe this result?
Or could I be getting a false result because I'm in/near perimenopause?

Sorry to hear this update. Would you consider a donor egg? My friend did this abroad - donor egg and her husband's sperm, and it was successful on the first try. It wasn't expensive. She was 48 when she gave birth. She had no complications in the pregnancy.

Goodluckanddontfitup · 20/06/2024 15:19

So sorry to read your update, been in a similar position and it’s really hard, take care.

AthenaBasil · 20/06/2024 15:17

Sorry to read your update. All the best going forward x

A rather sad update, for anyone following this thread.
Second scan today showed no embryo, which means almost certainly this is not a viable pregnancy.
My 47 year old eggs are clearly a little past it.
I'm not surprised - I knew this was a very likely outcome. Still sad though. 😔

Ah I am so sorry to hear that🥲
