Nearly 53, definitely menopausal...or pregnant???

[Cassavaflower]

I know it doesn't sound possible but I'm being sick, can't stand the smell of my husband, have terrible headaches and am craving rice. I never eat rice! Also I can't bear tea and I normally drink gallons of it!
It must be a virus, right? No-one my age could possibly be preggers?

At 53 I would say it is vanishingly unlikely that you are pregnant.

Technically possible but extremely unlikely. For those referring to periods post 50....having periods does not mean you can get pregnant. It's highly unlikely you are ovulating, and if you were, its even less likely any eggs would be of a quality that would allow for fertilisation. IF that happened, it would be very unlikely to lead to a live birth.

You've a better chance of winning the lotto

This made me smile so much! I hope you get the result you want x

That was my reaction too. WTF! I'm not in the UK so NICE doesn't apply. I was at the clinic a couple of weeks ago to renew my prescription and the midwife said it would be the last one as they don't prescribe past 52. Fuck knows what happens then.

If I were you I'd get a covid test while you're there, its far more likely than pregnancy

It's not at all against NICE guidelines. Prescribing contraception to people who don't need it is though.

Yes this I was food craving and als nauseous .with smells when I had covid.

My friend just had a baby at 55. Accidental pregnancy. Her sons are 28 and 32!

Wow!

Omg I want to know what the results are haha

Yeah. Hope you feel better in any case, feeling sick is rubbish.

After hearing this I'm genuinely going to get my tubes tied up ASAP.

hope you get the result you want op! Fingers crossed 🤞 report back after x

Good luck OP!

Menopause made me have morning sickness like nausea.

"Women should be informed that although a natural decline in fertility occurs with age and spontaneous pregnancy is rare after age 50, effectivec ontraception is required until menopause to prevent an unintended pregnancy."

Good luck OP

Just don't get the pregnancy test and the COVID test mixed up! 

Good luck OP

This is my worst nightmare and I’m ‘only’ 45.

Two of my aunties thought they were having menopause symptoms and were actually pregnant in their late 40s. Argh.

Good luck, OP!

Blatantly marking. I'd have a hairy fit if I was pregnant at 50!

Good luck op

Good luck OP, dying to see the update now!!

Placemarking

Good luck!

I had surgery yesterday and they make all women up to 56 take a pg test!
