I'm 50 and I got this yesterday...

[nobodysdaughternow]

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

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.

Haven't RTFT so apologies if it's already been said, but I wouldn't take that very thin line to be positive. A true positive will be the same colour throughout the width of the line.

I guess you'll just have to wait a few days for some clarity. I hope you're OK either way.

With my ggm I've got all the birth certificates to prove it, she had her last dd at 49. I'm a professional genealogist to boot.
Tbh, not wanting to piss on anyone's chips but is having a baby at 50 really something to celebrate? When possible health problems with the baby , maternal age and the fact that mum might start to need care when their adult child is just starting out in life.

this is the thread you chose to ask that kind of question? Especially after what OP wrote. Come on, have some decency.

I know it's not common, but I do know someone who announced her pregnancy (twins) at her 50th Birthday.

She's 60 now, DC are 10 and doing great.

Life is never black and white, and we all cope as best we can. Will be thinking of you 🌷

Just being realistic as so many people on here think it's such a fantastic idea. I'm merely pointing out the potential truth and reality of things.

Have you read the OP's updates?.

Read the updates.

Thinking of you OP, and so sorry to hear about your middle son xx

It's called being supportive. I'm sure OP knows the potential challenges and they seem to be going to a dr who, I'm sure, knows too..

OP doesn't need a tactless smartass to cause more stress than needed.

You can get the pink early response ones on amazon if that helps.

Fingers crossed for you OP

I am so sorry to hear about your son.

Please let us know how you get on.

You don't even need to read/scroll every post in the thread, you can just use the "see all" button on the OP.

That doesn't work on the app on my phone though
