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?

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!

@lizziecat1 I'm so sorry for you. Reading your latest update brought me back to my own loss last year. I understand the hope, then the sadness.
Sending support from across the pond. 💕

GreySofaCushion · 20/06/2024 20:08

Oh I’m so very sorry OP.
As a few others have said, if it’s ignited something in you that you want to try, we went abroad with donor eggs and PGTA. Amazingly quick and simply and so cheap compared to the U.K. but their 5* clinic and staff makes the private IVF over here look diabolical.

Grammarnut · 20/06/2024 20:14

So sorry.
