51yrs- might be pregnant?

17 years ago

Hi anyone?

I am 51yrs old and I would love some feedback on this please. I have had 6 children and many miscarriages so I am way too familiar with the early symptoms of pregancy. That said, I am now in the position of thinking I am pregnant. Why? I have had nausea feelings- breasts that have nipples that are sooooooo sore and can expell fluid- missed period by 6 days- headaches-lower back pain- frequent urination- feeling of a small bulge in lower abdomen. So, now one would super guess that yes I am pregnant right?

But, on sunday I took a pregnancy test but the results are negative??????

So, is this just menapause? I have only missed two periods -=Aug and Sept- a small period in Oct and then nothing....

If I am pregnant it would have been from Nov 11 2006.

Any ideas out there?

Thanks - Susan

I am post menopausal at age 49. Going through menopause since age 40 and finally post after 45. Once or twice a year, I get the same symptoms you have. In fact, having the same syptoms now. It started on Thanksgiving Day and will last a few weeks and then go away, or I may have some bleeding. I also get a migraine with it even though I have never had a history of migraines before.

The best thing for you to do is to go to your physician. it could be something entirely different!

Urine of pregnant women and seed germination
Q
Comments (1)
A recent news story mentioned that urine of pregnant women might hasten the germination of seed. [Article was about pregnancy tests. Seems some ancients thought germination could be used as a pregnancy test. Recently some scientist thought they may have been onto something.] No more information. Nothing in the article that would merit a link. This post was edited by albert_135 on Thu, Aug 8, 13 at 16:56

A mini Elvis - how cool, I hope he looks like his Grandpa. Got to wonder why she would sign up for Dancing With The Stars if she is pregnant - seems like the workouts those people go through would be pretty grueling for someone expecting a baby. Suzan J

different kind of way to announce you are pregnant

That was funny! Such a great reaction! With my first DD, we wrapped up the ultrasound for a present (Mother's Day maybe??) for the inlaws. Her gender was a surprise. For our second baby, we got the ultrasound tech to write the sex and put it in an envelope which we opened on Christmas Day! A second girl! I've heard of a cute idea for baby showers when the mother to be wants to announce the gender. They have a white frosted cake with either pink or blue cake inside!

Hi mhhope,
Have you read the post right below this one by Loretta?
You might read that one.
During perimenopause, I did have REALLY sore breasts. You might wait a week or so, and repeat your pregnancy test.
Can you doctor at least call in a blood test for you?
