Hello everyone -

So by my topic, who felt in that trap? Let me be the first to say " I did!" I went as far as going to the store and picking up a pregnancy test! and wondering how in the heck am I going to do this at age 45!!! My youngest is 8 soon to be nine and my oldest is 20 in college and talking marriage and kids!!!

Heck, 45, still feel like I'm 20, have a great hubby, we have a great relationship. We go out, have fun and now when we can have sex any time with no worries of an Ooops... I don't feel like it!.... Have to give credit to our hubbys. I know I'm putting mine through hell right now. My mood swings are so bad, one morning I wake up weepy, the next happy, and yet again another morning 'cranky' and lets not forget our dilemmas.... which some how I never use to have before. I do try to be aware of all my "changes" and try hard to overcome them and then of course I get mad because I wonder if perhaps I do have the "right" to be upset.....

Have a wonderful evening everyone.....and remember this too will pass and who knows one day we will even laugh (ok maybe smile) about it

I did this, too.

I cannot tell you how RELIEVED I was when the pregnancy test was negative! I was 48 years old!

It's soooo easy to do when one's cycles are all over the place...

ok, I'll fess up. I got darn close to getting a test a few times when this started at 42. Ok, you say, pregnancy is possible at 42. True, unless of course you've had your tubes tied for the past 6 years!!!!

OMG I laugh so hard when I read your post!, my husband thought it was yet another "symptom"!!

My girlfriend was going through the miss a period one month, get it twice as bad the next, she missed her period for 3 month and it turned out she was pregnant.... at 47! They have a beautiful baby girl. she is two now. and as much as I hate to admit it, my girlfriend looks younger now than she did 10 years ago!!

Count me in too! When I first missed a period after being regular for all of my life, I ran down and bought a pregnancy test. I remember being a little dissapointed that I wasn't. Fancy that. For about a year after that when my periods were so irregular, I must have bought another 2 at least, thinking well maybe this time. No, no more babies for me, just the change of life! God knew what was right for me, but I fantised. That's probably unusual, I know, but it was hard to admit, that I could no longer conceive and my babies were growing up! I will just have to wait for grandbabies!

OK girls, this is funny you are posting this subject. I too have in the past went out and bought a pregnancy test and it was negative. Did any of you watch the movie on Lifetime last night with Patty Duke? She found out she was pregnant at age 50. From previous posts you probably know I have to go in for an ultrasound tomorrow because my Dr. said my uterus is enlarged when he did my pap on Tuesday. My husband asked if it could be possible. I am sure it is all coincidence!!!!

I have heard of mid-life babies being conceived when we all think we are now safe. I never worried about whether I'd get pregnant or not. After my son was born my tubes were tied and that was going on 17 years ago. I love going through life now being able to have sex whenever me and my other half want without worries of pregnancy or periods. WOOHOO!!! Now, if I could get myself out of the idiotic mental menopausal state I'll be just fine. I get the worst scenarios playing out in my mind and it drives me crazy and I start blubbering like a baby and thank God I have a very supportive man in my life. When I get like this he just holds me, dries my tears and tells me we'll get through this together. *sigh* How did I get this fortunate?? Took me 49 friggin years to find such a wonderful man but better late than never. Right?

Susie you and I will be having ultrasounds at the same time then....I have one tomorrow to check for "unexplained uterine bleeding" Ha! And during my pap last Friday he also found an abraded area in the upper vaginal area - no idea what that is about but he said no tampons, nothing else in there until he sees me next week!

Sue,
I feel better now, I have someone to share this with and we both have the same name. Did they tell you you have to drink a lot of water before the test? I don't know about you but I almost wet my pants if I have to wait too long to go to the bathroom!!!!! Good luck to you today.
