45 and possibly first time pregnant?

LUCKYMITCH26 · 22/08/2023 14:35

I've never been able to fall pregnant. I had intercourse 12th of this month and no period yet. So anyone think I should get a test because surely would be an amazing miracle! I'm extremely grateful for any feedback 🙏 I've been feeling very headachy, exhausted and unlike me very moody and not much of an appetite xXx

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

When is your period due?

Ohdearwhatnow4 · 22/08/2023 14:40

I hope you get the answer you so wish for but please don't get your hopes up (bloody hurts when doesn't have happy ending) you could be late for a few reasons and if you are pregnant theirs a higher chance of miscarriage. Get a test to find out one way or another. Good luck

Depends when you ovulated and when your period is due?

Hi @LUCKYMITCH26
How many dpo are you hun? Xx

mumtotwox · 22/08/2023 16:29

Eeeeek! Do a test 🥰

Pinkstuffs · 22/08/2023 16:32

How late is your period? The dates don’t seem quite right unless you ovulated late, but fingers crossed!

Arthursmom · 22/08/2023 16:35

Do you usually get your period 10 days after you ovulate? How long is your cycle? No harm in testing …

TTCJJB · 22/08/2023 20:26

Have you been tracking your cycle?

Lucy377 · 22/08/2023 20:28

My friend did get pregnant naturally at 45.

donkra · 22/08/2023 20:30

I hope you get the answer you want, but... at your age this is as likely to be perimenopause as pregnancy, and if you do get a positive the risk of miscarriage is high.

Get a test and find out.

I am 46 and had my 12 weeks scan today and all looks good and this baby was conceived naturally so you never know
good luck xx

fabmaccawhackyrhumbsaloft · 22/08/2023 21:22

Just test when your period is due . That's how you'll
Find out

BooseysMom · 22/08/2023 21:24

I was nearly 41 when I had my first and only. He was my little miracle. I thought i was in peri and had a couple of strange light periods then nothing so went to the doc and he sent me for a scan and it was DS! I was 3 months pregnant! Wishing you every bit of luck xx

twoandcooplease · 22/08/2023 21:30

It is possible, please will you update us when you've done a test!!

BabyShaark · 22/08/2023 21:37

Period can be late for a number of reasons. Happened to me a couple of times last year (sadly not pregnant). I’m 45 like you.

Just do a test and you have certainty.

Sending good vibes. Pregnancy is sadly unlikely at our age, but but unlikely doesn’t mean impossible. Just look at Cherie Blair for example.

Notquitegrownup2 · 22/08/2023 21:42

I've known 2 people who have had babies at 46.

Hope that you get the news that you are hoping for.
