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?

It never gets any easier, thank you for sharing and reminding us all of the excitement and of the sadness. It was bizarrely lovely stranger to be on this journey with you.

I’m sorry to read your update, OP… look after yourself x

I was so so hoping for you a complete stranger. Sorry it didn't turn out the way you wanted.

Ah that sucks sorry to hear that xx 💐

So sorry for your loss. Be kind to yourself.

Oh OP! I’m sorry 😞.

Do something lovely to indulge yourself this weekend. X

I’m so sorry xx

Sending love, OP, and sympathy. I'm very sorry. x

Read the thread ffs.

So sorry OP just seen your update, this thread was in trending so clicked on as it was asking about believing something at 47, didn't say what board either.
Have reported my post to @MNHQ so hopefully they'll remove it asap

I'm so sorry, this must be so hard.

If you want to talk, I had a child later in life, 40, then tried for another with donor eggs and eventually adopted a second when I was in my late 40s. Happy to chat on messages here on Mumsnet if that would help and once the initial shock has worn off.

Thinking of you.

Sorry to hear your latest news @lizziecat1, I was thinking of you and hoping for you.

Sorry to read your update 💐

Its perfectly natural to feel upset over this and it’s ok to take some time to grieve for something that could have been.

I’m so sorry op. Thinking of you ❤️‍🩹

Oh I’m really sorry OP xxx

I am really, really sad to read this OP. Take care x

Very sorry, OP.

So sorry x

That's tough. Take care and look after yourself 💐

I'm so sorry @lizziecat1 x
