Pregnant .. Maybe .. At my age ????

[jayseyC66]

Hi every one :) Google brought me here ... So.. I'm 48 ! A week late , feeling sick and boobs feel ready to explode !!! Never ever late !! Had my last child at 41! That was a surprise! 2nd at 26 and first at 18 ! I also have had 3 mc. Last one 4 years ago so guess I am v fertile !!! Maybe it's perimenapause? Maybe I'm kidding myself ? I'm terrified I could be p!! Keep thinking don't be so bloody stupid ! ( my OH s opinion ) or I am as I know my own body ! Can't stop hypo ventilating ! Any one else been p at this age ? Oh and I have a 10 year old grandson and a 5 month grand daughter ! Oh the shame :(

Arghhh if I knew where you lived I'd March round with a test and stage a sit in till you did it.

This is edge of the seat stuff! Go and get a test at a 24 hour supermarket. I'm not leaving this thread until I know.

Would it help if dp or a friend bought a test and stayed with you while you waited for the result?

OOOO exciting!

Sometimes not knowing just makes it worse, the stress delays periods and you worry more. Viscous circle huh. Good luck whatever the outcome xxx

I fell pregnant last September 2 weeks before my 48th birthday. I was stunned.

Sadly mc at 11 weeks ( age I guess, 5th mc for me ).

Fingers crossed for the result that you'd like x

If you're not going to do a test at least start taking folic acid.

Hope you get the answer you want (blatant place marking for poas result!)

Do a test. Until you do your just torturing yourself (and us).

Just do a test already!!

Really hope you get the outcome you're hoping for

Done it yet op?

Better to know than worry.

I'm waiting patiently for POAS results taps foot

Sorry, I am shamelessly marking my place! I'm rooting for you, whichever way you want it to go... My friend had a surprise first pregnancy at 50, and went on to have a healthy girl, so it happens! Taking a test is the only way to even start to know what's going on, and the sooner you know, the sooner you can get support in place.

Still no test results? Come on woman! Ive already told you we are all nosey and now you keep us waiting!!!

Also shamelessly place marking! Have you tested yet? Hope you get the result you want

I know I know ! I'm a big coward !! Finish work early today so I promise il do one today ! I'm sure it will be positive ! Shouldn't be really ! Once this month with protection ! But I just feel pregnant and I've been there 7 times !! Boobs are hot and exploding ! Sat at my desk and feel faint , sick, dizzy , heavy niggly pains , backache .. Full set really !!! Oh god I have visions of being the local celebrity granny/oldest mother in town splashed all over the front page ;) ha ha this is hysterical ramblings of a crazy woman !!

At least once you know for sure either way you can start making plans/decisions.

Good luck

Do it!

I don't know how you can not want/need to know.

Am a similar age to you, and I figured it was game over by now. Maybe not after reading this thread.

Good luck with the testing!

Get the test and go and POAS immediately then report back to us

Good luck Jaysey. Thinking of you...

marking my place because I just want to know!

Whatever the outcome... Good luck! xx

No need to feel shame. Do a test, if it's positive book in with your gp or local family planning service for advice/support. If you suspect you are pregnant, you need to start taking folic acid. It could be menopause, your gp could advise you best

Why would it be ridiculous? If you have regular periods and you have sex, it's always a possibility? I hope it's a no for you.
