I'm 47. Should I believe this?

[lizziecat1]

Just turned 47 and got this result on an easy at home test (mid morning, same result mid afternoon)

5 weeks since last period (usually fairly regular at 28 days - been a little less regular over last few months, so assumed perimenopause was starting)

Not actually ttc, but definitely not doing anything to prevent it.

So.... would you believe this result?
Or could I be getting a false result because I'm in/near perimenopause?

A shredder? WTAF? Maybe keep your horrendous trap shut.

All good wishes OP.

what a roller coaster, so much to hope for. Good luck op xx

Good luck OP.

I thought the same thing-menopause can show a positive pregnancy test.i was 38 falling pregnant this time.
Midwife was adamant a menopause couldn't show a positive test,hence me saying so.

So.... had a scan this morning, and it's very early - too early to say whether it's developing into a viable pregnancy or not. Matches my estimate of late ovulation, and nothing seen on scan to indicate a problem given those dates.
So more waiting...... another scan in a week to see what's happening.
But I guess, for now, I'm as pregnant as I can be!

Thank you for all your moral support, everyone!

I'm very excited for you OP (and possibly a little envious, although I am 51 now).

Hoping for the best for you.

All the best! 🤞🏼

Congratulations! My eldest sister had been married two years, when my Mum had my youngest sister! Mum had her first pregnancy very young 17 years old, and her last when she was 44!

Good news so far. Keep us posted OP!!

Thanks for the update. Please let us know how you get on. I'm excited for you!!

A rather sad update, for anyone following this thread.
Second scan today showed no embryo, which means almost certainly this is not a viable pregnancy.
My 47 year old eggs are clearly a little past it.
I'm not surprised - I knew this was a very likely outcome. Still sad though. 😔

I'm really sorry @lizziecat1 - that is so very sad. Thinking of you x

@lizziecat1 I was watching this thread with so much hope for you. I am absolutely gutted that it wasn't the outcome you hoped for. Thinking of you and sending lots of love xx

I'm so sorry OP. Sending hugs and hope you're ok.

So sorry to hear this. ❤️‍🩹

So sorry to hear this, thinking of you

So sorry OP xxxx

Just found your thread and was rooting for you so deeply. I'm so sorry 💐

I've been following your thread. I'm very sorry. Sending you hugs.

Ah I’m so sorry OP

I'm really sorry 😞

Sending you hugs OP. My GP says she has a patient at 53 who thought she was past the baby stage and ended up with a viable pregnancy so you are definitely not too old I'm sorry you haven't had the outcome you wanted. Look after yourself and lots of love xxx

Aww, I’m sorry, I’ve actually just welled up a wee bit for you.

I was watching the thread with hope. I’m so sorry and hope you are ok xx
