Good Day! I am 45 of age a mother of 4 kids. Now my husband is asking me another child, my last period was last December 10. 2014, now I'm almost 11weeks delayed. I tried every month Strips (urine test) but it is negative. Yesterday, i went to doctor to make U/S but he can't see anything. But I feel that I am pregnant and my husband also got some of the symptoms of pregnant like very sleepy, and very choosy on foods he wants to eat. Still I am confused though I also tried the blood test last month but still negative. I am thinking maybe I am in the menopausal stage....On my last menstrual period which is Dec 10, my OB let me drink Clomid and Climen then month of January, February I don't have periods. Now to much confused if I am pregnant or not...Please let me know what to do? I am presently here in Saudi Arabia..Hope to hear your advises....Thanks!!!
