I'm 47. Should I believe this?

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?

I'm 47.  Should I believe this?

We were all rooting for you. Sending love and strength at this difficult time ❤️

@lizziecat1 A week ago I saw your thread and thought that was it because your line was quite strong in the first picture. Then today I found your thread again and I was curious to see the update. I am really sorry it happened. Sending virtual big hugs to you!

Sending hugs 🤗

I am in the same boat. 47 and 8 weeks pregnant 🤦🏼‍♀️. But my outcome is not great

How are you doing? Do you need support?

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 so sorry xxx

@lizziecat1 - So, so sorry. We were all rooting for you. There’s never anything helpful to say in these circumstances, but you are so much in my thoughts.

redteapot · 20/06/2024 16:51

So sorry OP, thinking of you xxx

Please edit or delete your post please.

OP has provided an update and sadly it’s not good news.

Bubblybits · 20/06/2024 17:04

@Exactlab it is SO easy to just read the OP’s updates so you don’t blunder in with a hugely insensitive comment. It is literally one button to click. I hope you try a bit harder to do that in future.

YourWildAmberSloth · 20/06/2024 17:10

Another random stranger who was strangely invested in your pregnancy and hoping for a positive outcome. I am so sorry that it didn't work out - sending (probably totally useless) hugs xx

GoodieMcTwoshoes · 20/06/2024 17:10

So sorry to hear that. Sad

Alwaystired2023 · 20/06/2024 17:13

Oh I'm so sorry and sad with you, big unmumsnetty hugs x

MILTOBE · 20/06/2024 17:18

I'm so sorry. That must be really difficult for you Flowers

Laura36TTC · 20/06/2024 17:21

So sorry to hear this OP

Zonder · 20/06/2024 17:28

So sorry.

lizziecat1 · 03/06/2024 19:20

Thank you everyone - you're all pretty convincing!
I know there's still a high chance of misscarriage for someone as ancient as me.... but for now, this is pretty amazing!

Satanzlilhelpa · 20/06/2024 17:33

Sending love, hugs and rose xxx

GratitudeGoddess · 20/06/2024 17:41

I'm truly sorry to hear your sad news. Sending you love ♥️

oakleaffy · 20/06/2024 17:59

That's really sad, Lizziecat- I hope you have a child already {If that's not a bad thing to say}
My Dad was born when his Mum was 45 {but she'd had children previously}.

GoogleWhacking · 20/06/2024 18:03

I'm sorry to hear that. Massive hugs.
