it's not just about menstration...it's also about ovulation and the life expectancy of the eggs involved.........This is my standard answer......... go get a book called Taking Charge of your fertility by Toni Weschler
This book will help you with all of your menstrual and conception questions. It’s for all women - not just women trying to conceive. It covers everything from temperature to mucus checking, etc.. It will help you understand your body and all the myths about it. It will help you time when you are ovulating and the best times to conceive – or not! It tells you how to figure out your cycle and what to expect. My husband and I tried for a year to conceive and nothing happened. The first month I used the book we conceived right away. Now I am due Feb 2. It's about knowing your body and knowing when you are fertile or not. You can pick and choose what you do with your info. Good luck and don't listen the all the myths!

YES! If you still have a normal menstrual cycle, you can indeed fall pregnant. However, at your age, your chances of having a baby with abnormal defects and down syndrome are increased.
Best to have a chat to your doctor. Then again, your baby could be perfectly healthly but make sure you are aware of all the possibilities.
If you intend on having a baby, bless you, youre a very brave woman to do that at your age and I mean that with the greatest respect xx

Absolutely! If you are still menstruating then there is always room for pregnancy! Good luck if you are trying!

You sure can - it's a time when women get complacent, and then get "surprized"! My mom had my younger brother at 45, 10 years after me!

Yes!! It's possible as long as you menstruate and are sexually active it can happen.
Now, the odds are against that you would carry this child to term, but again, not impossible.
