Sorry - posting for traffic as I'm panicking..
So if you did get pregnant in peri menopause (surely must be some?) How did it affect anything? Did your other peri symptoms stop? Were you on HRT - did this change anything/affect pregnancy? What happened after birth?
Really grateful for any experiences.. my story without wanting to be too outing is I've recently turned 39 and experiencing peri symptoms for about 3/4 weeks - night sweats, hot flushes etc and I don't appear to be coming on my period any time soon, although I don't think I've actually missed one as such (last period ended on 30 Jan) since these night sweats started.
Just had blood tests though and my FSH is sky high (82) and oestrogen low (19) so I think it's peri. I've also had my periods stop/night sweats in 2024 when I was going through a very stressful time and my FSH tested twice - 42 and then 69 but oestrogen was good (Only tested once)- 296. Once the stressful time ended (and I went on a 2 week holiday!) my periods came back and night sweats stopped...praying similar might happen this time but I think less likely..
I'm aware from private testing for egg freezing (thankfully have a few eggs frozen from my age of 35/36) that I have a severely diminished ovarian reserve and I was warned I'd likely go through early meno.
I'm currently single (although dating someone early stages) and although would consider having a baby alone perhaps, I'm not really comfortable with that/there yet so please do not suggest that as an immediate step.
I'm just wondering how things might look if I was to go on HRT and if I'd be able to get pregnant naturally whilst on it.. or if I'd have to use the frozen eggs and how peri symptoms might affect that?
