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.

Do come back in a few weeks - I have everything crossed for you.

My grandmother got pregnant at 52 and it was twins

She already had 10 children

One of her other children weighed 14 and a half pounds at birth

I think she is due some sort of posthumous award

I’m very sorry to hear your middle son is so unwell.

I have had those lines on CB tests before and I wasn’t pregnant, they are notorious for them unfortunately. You really need to do a pink dye test, another poster mentioned FRER are available on Amazon. I always find them in my local chemist so might be worth checking there too.

Sorry to hear about your DS @nobodysdaughternow
Not sure if it's a ➕ test, I really hope you get the results you want.
Take care 💐

So sorry to hear about your son OP. I hope there is a positive outcome for you on this x

Op I hope it pans out as you hope x

@nobodysdaughternow

I've seen many of your comments and posts over the last few months and you seem genuinely very lovely. Wishing everything for you the outcome is the one you want 💐

I'm sorry to learn of your DS, I really am.

Sorry to hear about your son. Hope you get the outcome you want.

Wishing you all the best OP, and sorry to hear about your DS.

Thank you for being so supportive. DH is 8 years young than me so I am not as concerned about my age.

I did everything 'right' when I had my middle child, I was a fit and healthy 36 year old, I breast fed him, I loved and loved and loved him. And now he is really poorly and I cannot make him well. But I have had the joy of being his Mum for 13 years and what a blast it's been.

I genuinely hold no hope for this little flicker of life but it is a welcome distraction from the madness of grief.

So sorry about your middle son. 💐

Im so sorry about your lovely son. I hope this turns out the way you want

My GM had my dad at 50, he was a surprise, she thought she'd finished having her kids 20 years before!

Nothing useful I can say - I so wish there was, But I am sending support x

First Response tests are available on Amazon and should give you a good indication.

So sorry to read about your son. Here’s to hoping everything works out for you 🌻

I'm sorry to hear about your son, that must be truly awful for you all. I will keep my fingers crossed that you get the result you want, you truly deserve some happiness 💐

I wish Mumsnet had a 💐 button as well as a 👏🏼 button, OP. x

Echoing the collective sentiments about your son. Your last post really touched me.

I hope you get there outcome that you're looking for and all goes as well as it with your boy ❤️

Good luck with everything ❤️

I feel so invested in your story. Sorry to hear about your unwell child. I’m hoping for a positive outcome on your post. 🤞🏻

God, I'm so sorry, OP, and in awe of your courage and strength. Sending hugs.

Sending love and strength OP. I am so sorry to hear about your lovely son and hope that this little flicker turns into a shining light.

All the very best op

Sorry about your middle son. My friend got pregnant at 49 when she thought she was peri. When she didn't have a period she thought that was just menopause starting. She only found out when she was 11 weeks because her breast were so tender and nipples getting darker. Keeping fingers crossed for you.
