Anyone else in this position? It’s driving me nuts! I just missed a few and thought I might be done. Was so happy! But just had another one! 😭

I heard of a pregnancy through a friend of friend, she was 51 and now has a toddler. Healthy birth (but monitored closely), no donor eggs, no complications now so far. So it can happen. She thought it was menopause apparently and that her weight gain was down to too many pizzas and McDs. She’s happy though as her other DC are grown ups.

I know of a natural pregnancy at 50. They thought she was too old to conceive even though she had periods, so no precautions. Sailed through pregnancy and kid is fine. Now they know different, don´t they.

Also know of a natural pregnancy at 50. Also a big shock as their other kids were in late teens and they thought it was menopause. Healthy baby, just very unplanned

So yes, I think of you don’t want another child, take precautions if you still have periods!

It’s so disheartening to hear of periods into late 50’s. I think my mum and aunt both had peri in early/mid 50s, and had the mirena coil to stop periods in their 50s. I’m 41 so potentially years to go

Everything is a bloody risk factor for some kind of cancer. To the point that I'm considering not caring at all and what will be will be!

I stopped caring a long time ago. Live life and what will be, will be.
