I think it might be a raise in HCG because I'm perimenopausal?

I know it won't be leading to anything, but I just wondered if I should see my GP?

I have had a few miscarriages in the past and I'd rather know what to expect I.e early miscarriage or nuts perimenopause symptoms Grin

I did both tests yesterday evening - they are the 6 days early type.

I could smell a weird smell on myself all day which made me think I should test.

I think I need HRT, I can't go through the next few months feeling pregnant.and smelling weird.

Gosh! Good luck!

Those tests look like classic Clearblue evaps - the lines are too thin to be a genuine positive and have developed after the timeframe. Hope your doctor can help but I’d get some pink dye tests if you can.

Pregnancy isn't impossible but it's highly unlikely.

Every woman of child bearing g years should keep a FRER at home and replace when out of date , preferably a double pack. They are the most reliable tests clearblue are rubbish.

A pregnancy at 50 would certainly be a surprise!

KenIsAnAccessory · 09/10/2023 17:00

Ooh good luck OP, hope you get your preferred answer!

Surely people must realise that most of these great grandmothers who had their last baby at 50 were bringing up a grandchild

PerspiringElizabeth · 09/10/2023 17:02

Good luck OP. My friend’s mum had a surprise baby at 52, she’s now in her 20s and thriving in every way. Hope you get some answers asap!

Marmite17 · 09/10/2023 17:03

Regarding the year rule for periods and menopause, I had a last hurrah period over a year after the last one. Up until then I was still getting about to menstruate physical signs, with nothing happening.
I hope you get the answer you want x

Tribevibes · 09/10/2023 17:04

My mum has her meno (last period) at 60 on the dot so it can happen but you would be an outlier.

I know. There are often these claims on here.

AWIAANGAF · 09/10/2023 17:10

Good luck. I hope whatever happens it’s a positive outcome for you.

Aylestone · 09/10/2023 17:11

A positive pregnancy test means you’re pregnant surely? Fingers crossed for you

My great great grandmother had a late forties baby, definitely not a grandchild in her case. Almost all of my female ancestors were having babies up to at least mid forties. I had my last at 43 but I am pretty sure I could have had one more if I’d tried.
50 is rare but I do know of a couple, one a sibling of a friend, it does happen.

Lordofmyflies · 09/10/2023 17:14

I'd say you're pregnant! Positive tests x 2, unprotected sex during peri-menopause. Your body tends to throw out more follicles as you approach menopause, I guess to empty stores?, hence the increase chances of twins in later reproductive years. Good luck!

MummyJ36 · 09/10/2023 17:14

Hope it goes ok at the GP’s ok! Let us know how it all turns out ♥️

Good luck OP! Hope you get the answer you want
