Pregnant or just perimenopause

I'm 44.
Had blood tests which showed I'm still ovulating last year.
Period in January was 12 days late and I only bled for a day, very light. Then 2 days brown discharge, again very slight.

Since then, my boobs have gone up at least a cup size occasionally painful, nipples darker.
Had nausea the last few days, only vomited once though. Last week I had what felt like cramps all week, and headaches on and off.
I've also felt very happy and calm when normally I'm very anxious.

DH had the snip about 6 years ago so I can't be pregnant can I?

The only way you’d know is to take a test

Nausea, vomiting, headaches might be a bug. Rest might be perimenopause. Take a test.

Testing is the only way you’ll know.

Any update OP?

I’m 47 .. not had a period since July, hubby had the snip 10 years ago. I have done 4 tests (just in case) all negative. I keep getting period like cramps, but nothing happens ... I am assuming menopause rather than hidden pregnancy.

Well, I’ve got a cousin who turned up several years after my uncle had the snip. My auntie was most surprised when she did a test.

My parents thought it was hysterical.

My pal had her tubes tied and got pregnant somehow! Miracles can happen.

So did you take the test OP. Are you pregnant?

There are so many other things that can cause these symptoms, as well as being pregnant or peri menopausal. Make an appointment with your GP.

Definitely take a test. It's entirely possible that you aren't pregnant, but there's a chance you could be and you should check.
