Hi, I'm new to mumsnet and this is my first posting (although I have posted this message in the correct area as well). I really need some advice. For several months I've been having symptoms of what I think is the menopause (I have reached that age in life where everything stops working), I haven't had a period for three months and I was very irregular for a several months before, my boobs are very tender and I'm very tired. However, I have a strange feeling that instead of the menopause I could be pregnant, although I keep telling myself I am too old! Is this possible or is it just me panicking for no reason?

it could absolutley be possible...especially if you had unprotected sex!!

I hope you get the result you want....

It's been known to happen! Good luck with the test. Let us know

I will try and test today, I'm sure whatever the result I will be happy, just totally shocked at the thought of having a baby at 48. Watch this space for the result...

my mum's friend had a baby at 48. light of her life, he is.

simck · 26/05/2008 14:12

I always wanted another one, I have 3 which is an odd number, just didn't plan on having another one at this age. I will be 49 before the baby is born. Just got back with test, I'm off to do some peeing (sorry TMI).
