Hi, can anyone help as l am at my wits end. l am 41 and had a normal period in april, l bled for 2 days in may and nothing since? Could l be pregnant? Had done several home tests and 1 blood test all were negative. My stomach is bigger, have had a few headaches and now pain in my lower back. My doctor says l am starting to go through the pre-menopausal stage....is this possible and is there any other way to check if pregnant? l had a miscarriage in 2004 around this time and we would both be so happy if l was pregnant....thanks in advance.

you should definitely be positive on a pregnancy test long before now...as you could be anywhere from 8-12 weeks pregnant if you count May as a period... if testing negative you need to consider a visit to your family provider adn have other things looked at (metabolic, thyroid, hormone levels to confirm menopause). take care and good luck.

Hi, I am going through the same thing and I'm age 49. I haven't used contraception with my husband for years, have always been regular in my cycles. Now I've met a new partner and am 65 days overdue on my cycle. Most likely menopause I should think, but strange this should happen for the first time and only since Ive been with my new partner. I haven't had a test as I am sure it is highly unlikely I could conceive at this age. And it would certainly be a shock if I was pregnant!

Sounds like it could be peri-menopause. I still haven't had a period yet - am now 67 days late. So will need to get a test done.
