I'm 43 my husband is 50. He has anti sperm antibodies. We tried ivf and icsi a few years ago but no luck. We adopted two kids and we are a happy family of four. The kids are in their teens.

Haven't had a period since november presumed menopause. Just to tile it out ive done a pregnancy test. You can guess the rest.

How many of these are
False positives with the menopause etc

That's lovely! DH was born after a very similar story, DMIL apparently would NOT believe she was actually pregnant.

What a brilliant update! Huge congratulations OP. That’s such happy news. I remember this happening to a neighbour when I was little, she also suspected initially menopause rather than pregnancy (although AFAIK she didn’t realise until her third trimester!)
