Conception at fifty, unsure of options help

Have name changed for privacy as will become clear. Basically am 50, had accidental unprotected sex on Mother's Day ( which was last day of my period), am now 2 days late, mildly nauseous and episodes of that bone tiredness of early pregnancy. Have three other children, oldest 21, youngest 16, each time conceived on first unprotected sex episode. I know that statistically it's very unlikely this pregnancy will progress. Am tempted to bury my head in the sand and not do pregnancy test on the assumption that an early miscarriage is likely or certain and I will mind less if I didn't know I was pregnant, if that makes any sense. Do I just assume this pregnancy, if it is, is doomed and get on with life, going to Dr if I make it so say 9 weeks? Financially and emotionally am stable in that if in the unlikely event anything did progress, could cope and wouldn't consider a termination.i don't really even know what I'm asking, just wanted to speak to someone I suppose.

Do a test to be sure before you get worked up about anything. Hope you get the result you want! Flowers

Only way you can know and plan is if you take a test.
Then go from there

It seems v unlikely that you are pregnant from sex on last day of your period, should be too early for ovulation. Do a test.

Oyster babe, think am a bit odd as that's exactly when dd was conceived ! Thanks all, will do test at end of week if nothing happens, then panic.
