perimenopause or pregnant

[crikeybiller]

Bloody hell.
Im 48. I was on microgynon till August last year but came off as im getting older and my migraines were increasing. So any bleeds I had might not have been true periods. I had a short spate of hot flushes over the summer and in the lead up to xmas but they have worn off now. I also havent had a period since August when I quit the pill, so...I figured I was peri.
Ive had unprotected sex a few times thinking I was safe, but the last few days ive got achy boobs, sore nipples and I feel bloated.
Surely it cant be....can it ?
FFS.

Only one way to find out OP, take a test.

Definitely test.
I was on the mini pill for years but didn’t bleed on it, my periods never returned when I stopped taking it, I was 48, although I’d started with night sweats which was made me stop.
The doctor told me to use other birth control until I’d not had a period for 12 months from stopping the pill.

Sounds more like pregnancy than the menopause to me. Only a test will be conclusive but a lot of women have been caught out late 40s. Hope you get the result you want.
