Can you get pregnant at 52?

[Pregnantposibility]

I have not had a period for 2.5 years; we use condoms but it came off while having sex. Any chance I could be pregnant? Should I get a pregnancy test just in case.

Hopefully the answer is not. As no way we want a child at this age plus all the risks it could carry.

I woukd think the chances are vanishingly slim as to be zero, especially considering you haven't had a period for over 2 years anf are officially post menopausal

How can you have got to 52 and not know the answer to this one?!

My grandchild’s midwife delivered a baby to a 53 year old women in the morning - it was her third child, all under 5 years old.

NHS guidance is to use contraception for a year after your last period if you’re over the age of 50, or 2 years if you’re under 50 so I’d say the chances are pretty slim.

Yes, it can happen. Very rare obviously, but the chances are not zero. I knew someone whose grandmother gave birth at 55!!!!

You’ve been through the menopause, you aren’t pregnant.

The 2nd post today about being pregnant at 52 what's that all about

Seems very unlikely.

Highly improbable

Are you Sharon Watts? If not, then no 😆

Has your coil been left in for too long?

The odds are tiny. Not impossible but you’re probably more likely to win the lottery.

The answer’s not zero chance though. It’s very unlikely but not zero possibility assuming you’ve had PIV sex.

Before I had a gynaecology surgery the nurses tested all of us who were 60 and under. No exceptions. It was quite funny really.

If you've not had a period for that long, I'd find the odds incredibly tiny. Not impossible, but almost.

She probably had help.

It’s probably half a million to one

if you are I’d buy a lottery ticket too

when I went for the third Covid jab the chap giving it asked if there was any chance I could be pregnant. I was 62. There was a twinkle in his eye though.

My great aunt had a surprise baby at 53 so it can happen. Given that you haven't had a period in so long though means it's extremely unlikely.

My grandmother had one just a little younger than that. No help.

I'm early 50s and still have a period every month and ovulate each month. Considering how easily I had my others, it's not a chance I'd take! In OP's situation it seems highly unlikely, though never impossible.

You're now post-menopausal so you cannot get pregnant.

Only on Eastenders

Extremely unlikely, do a test if you are worried. If you were still having periods maybe, but still very unlikely.

Yes as I knoe two people who got pregnant at 52 and 53. It is possible. If you havent had a period for 2 years then it sounds unlikely though.

Maybe they were IVF

You're over 50 and haven't had a period in over two years, which means you're officially postmenopausal and can relax and throw away the condoms.

I'd say practically zero chance if you haven't had a period for 2 years. You are officially menopausal after not having a period for a year so you're well past that now.
