I think I might be pregnant!

Wow, Rubylady! I hope you find out soon. I have had three children in various locations, but I've never been ' With child at my window'.

ps he was the first (and only) baby!! They had been married for 25 years.

Well, the baby won't be arriving on 25th December, that's for sure
(but then, neither did Jesus)

A neighbour thought she was going through the menopause at 49.
Josh must be about 10 now

My Mum did not end her periods until late 50s - this was one of the reasons I had a hysterectomy at 42, as they were so troublesome (well, they only stopped for about 48 hours each month!) and I could not countenance another 12-14 years of it!

Or a phantom pregnancy !

considered fibroids? Common in ladies of our age[s]

Shazmo, I'm with you, I'm nearly 55 & still getting periods, I thought I was on the way as was 11 weeks late & getting a gentle flush but then came on & had no hot flushes since.

Menopause probably, but be careful can get pregnant if it is that because your body is all over the place now. Tell that handsome hunk to bring a condom next time.

Thanks this made me laugh

I'd say the menopause. Mine started like that. Good luck!

I'm 56 and still getting regular periods!! So wish I could have the menopause!

Hahahaha I remember thinking I was pregnant when I was 48...my friends thought it a hoot. Was actually menopause. Periods stopped never to start again

Peri-menopause if you're in your 40s or as others have said, stress and sorry but 4 days is hardly "late" unless your normal cycle is up about the 35 days range.

A friend of mine had a surprise baby at 50. Her daughter had a baby at almost the same time and she ended up looking after two babies while her daughter went back to work!

Was it not Ross Poldark, last Sunday night?
I am sure I remember somebody being "swept off their feet"??

To have been ravished and not remember it - what a waste!

My mother had her last baby at 48 - she thought it was the menopause!! I don't think she ever knew what made babies even though she had four.

Hope all is Ok Ruby

Sorry, but I have to laugh at myself. I guess I think all Gners are like me (no not men !) but about my age, so the thought that a GNer could be pregnant has bought me back to Earth.

Let's hope you find out one way or the other soon.

Welcome to the are they gone or not club!

Well many congratulations!
More seriously it may be the start of your menopause.

Well if you've been ravished and can't remember it that would be pretty stressful.

I remember fretting over a possible unwanted pregnancy before H and I married, to the point of my periods stopping.
be kind to yourself

After all you have been through ?

rubylady - Seriously though - as suggested, it could be stress related or menopausal. Menopause hit me quite suddenly at the age of 48. This followed my father's death after a short and unexpected illness. Go gently ruby

rubylady

Stress or menopausal shenanigans starting?
