Pregnancy After Menopause -- 15 Years
Posted: 11-26-04 17:46pm

Is it possible to get pregnant if one has
not menstruated for 15 years? I hope not
-- i'm too old -- i'm 58. And when would
one know the difference between gas pains
and baby movement - if I am it would be
either 3 months or 2 weeks shy of 3 months
-- oh help me god if I am

I think anything is possible. That would
be awesome if you're pregnant. What a
gift from god. A baby brings so much joy
to your life. Keep us posted. Btw, I
don't think you would be feeling movement
that early.

57 years old, I forget where.

Actually, it wouldn't be a gift -- not at
this present stage and emotional state in
my life.
And the woman of 57 who gave birth was
just recently and she was artificially
inseminated -- she gave birth to twins.
I really hope I am not pregnant. It
would be devastating for me.
Thanks so much for all of your input.
I'll keep you posted.

Can anyone describe what the difference in
feeling would be (if that's possible to do
in words  ) from maybe gas
bubbles in the intestines opposed to the
movement of a baby. It's been way too
many years for me to remember the feeling
of a baby moving.

They both feel very similar. The baby
feels more like a butterfly hitting the
side of your uterus

Just get a test. You can get a cheap
one. But like I said, I don't think you
would be feeling baby yet. I just had
two babies, back to back. The first one
I felt around 20+ weeks and the second one
at 16 weeks.

I don't know how accurate the tests are,
but here is the weird part of all of this,
almost like it's all in my head: I did a
pregnancy test twice and it said no. I
even thought, fine i'll go to my doctor
because i'm very very tired lately
(unusual for me) but I was too embarassed
(because of my age) to say anything to her
about my fears. I also figured she'd be
able to detect if I was pregnant from an
exam. I even requested a blood test.
No one said anything about, hey, you look
or seem or your tests reveal you're
pregnant. But for the past 3 months
i've been extremely tired, have had
symptoms of pregnancy and now this feeling
in my stomach, but under the rib cage area
and maybe in the center of my stomach but
high near the ribs. I can't even
remember where you feel the baby moving
first? Near the ovaries? I can't
remember?. I'm thinking, maybe it's my
intestines bubbling. But i've taken so
much stuff for gas and nothing has stopped
it. I've od'd on the stuff. It's all
very bizarre. And my blood tests came
back all fine -- all the various things
they tested for came back fine.
So this has to be in my head, but this
continual weird feeling in my stomach is
really stressing me out.

Yeah, you would probably feel the baby
moving a little lower. Describe your
symptoms to your gyn or family practice
doc. Maybe they would have a better idea
of what it might be. You could jokingly
say - I feel like i'm pregnant, what could
these symptoms mean? You have to find
out for your own sanity.

yeah, that'd be a good approach. And
you're right. I just need to find out
before I go crazy. Thx

When does one usually have morning
sickness? I've forgotten all this stuff.
Is it right away? Is it after 3 months?

It usually starts around 6 weeks and ends
around 12 weeks. When it ends and the
severity differs for everyone, but it
almost always starts around 6 weeks give
or take a week.

Okay, thanks -- well, then maybe it's just
a bug right now -- it's not morning 
anyway but the past couple days i've felt
nauseous -- so hopefully it's something
else
just that I have all these symptoms that
point to being pregnant but they're off,
ya know, not to mention neither one of the
preg tests came back positive. I don't
know how accurate they are, really, but
for now I guess I can go on that. I may
ask my doctor to give me an
ultrasonography so they can see pictures
of everything going on in there. That
would certainly tell a lot.

If you truly went through menopause 15
years ago and now shows odd symptoms and
had a positive pregnancy test, then it is
time to get back in to the doctor and
don't wait to long.
It is unlikely that you suddenly started
ovulating again, but there are other
things that can stimulate hormones, such
as pre-tumors and similar. While there
likely is no cause for alarm, don't wait
to many months before getting things
checked out, please.

My sister went thru 2 menopauses, and then
started back to having periods, they found
a lump on her pituitary area and removed
it twice. She is 56y/o, I am not trying
to scare you, but, you might want to get
this checked out.
Sincerely,
sandy

I was watching montell and like this lady
had hit menopause and on top of that like
2 years before she did she was told she
couldnt have children anymore like she had
like a 18 year old.. So like she went to
the er complaining of tummy cramps and she
was actually in labor! She had been a
little over weight so she didnt notice any
physical changes and never went thru
morning sickness or anything she had gone
thru menopause for like 5 years
crazy huh?
I know I am a talk show junkie
