Pregnant at 45??

Name changed for this, and need a bit of a handhold.

Currently have 3 DC (14, 12 & 7) with my DH. As the title says really, I think I might be pregnant, our family was complete and we were finished with having children, and I thought I was heading into menopause, being 45. Although my periods are still very regular, like every 28 days, however chances of being pregnant in your 40s are 5% and decrease yearly.

Last period 8th October - DH and I weren't too careful on Thursday 19th October (I know I know I should know better at my age) and I think I was ovulating that weekend, usual weird crampy pains I get around ovulation and EWCM. Now my boobs are tingly and sore, so I'm trying not to symptom spot, because when you are looking for a sign, every sign is a symptom of pregnancy and I'm trying to hold off testing until at least early next week if my period doesn't come on Sat / Sun

Oh wise mumsnetters what is the likelihood of being pregnant at my age, in reality??

Just posting to update did a test this morning and it was negative, it was an Asda cheapy one, supposed to be coming on today / tomorrow. So may have to test in the week again if I haven't come on. Thanks for the handholds everyone.

Thanks for the update OP. Not entirely sure from your posts if you are hoping to get a positive??
