I’m 11 days post shag. It was so unexpected (and such a rare occurrence these days!) that it completely slipped my mind I was ovulating, or had the day before. Since yesterday I’ve been super weepy and emotional, I feel shaky and a little bit nauseated and I’m spotting brown on a tissue. I don’t normally get PMT symptoms badly at all.
My DP and I are now three days into a really pathetic non-speak fight and our toddler has shingles so we have been juggling childcare all week and we are both shattered. Plus I had a really horrible road rage incident at the weekend and it really shook me up. So all this taken together…..is it possible?? Or am I just run down and a bit overtired and fragile? My cycle has been all over the place recently, 25 days one month and 35 the next which is why I wasn’t that fussed. My period’s due in 5 days and I’ve just done a test which was negative.
I’m almost 42 and my dp is 48. We’d quite like another one but my brain is screaming ‘not now’ I know we need to get on with it but I haven’t been taking any folic acid or anything and did I mention we are fucking shattered?
Please be gentle, I’m at work and I can’t stop bursting into tears.

It's really not that easy to get pregnant over 40, as majority of eggs are not viable for conception. It's just matter of catching that good egg, which can take months or even years. So if you don't want to get pregnant don't panic too early, if on the other hand you want another child...then I would say don't wait any longer, 42-43 is usually last call, by 45 it's very rare to conceive naturally with own eggs.
