I am 50 years of age, and still have a
menstrual cycle. The man in my life now
is younger than i, and still very fertile.
Is there a birth control out there that
would be right for my age, other than a
condom? At my age, do I really have a
chance for pregnancy?
will welcome any and all advise. Thank
you.

You most certainly can fall pregnant
that's the good news!! The bad news is
that your chances of having a baby with
physical & or mental problems is
significant & there's a greater risk
to your health.
Talk to your dr about the right option for
you (have you considered having your tubes
tied? -easier than remembering the pill,
but neither has a 100% guarantee of
preventing pregnancy no matter what anyone
tells you.).
Good luck

You can get pregnant, and i'm sure it
would not be healthy for someone of your
age. You do need to get on something,
but i'm not sure what...That would have to
be discussed with a dr that is familiar
with your health situation. How old is
the man in your life? Just be careful!

Unless you want to try to have a baby why
dont you talk with your doctor about
getting your tubes tied ?

I dont think getting tubes tied at that
age would be good. I mean she could go
through that surgery and maybe have gone
through menapause a year later. So the
surgery was basically for nothing. I
would be sure that you could take any
birth control. I would maybe ask the
doctor about the shot?? (depo)

I just wanted you all to know that I did
go and see the doctor. No, I am not
pregnant, but going through pre-menapouse.
The doctor warned me to use birth
control anyway during the first year,
until I have had one full year of no
periods. Seems the best route.
Thank you all for your advise and
opinions. It means alot!
