I am 45 and only get a period every six months now, so I presume I am going through the menopause.
My last period was 5 months ago and one b4 that was six months b4 and the one previous to that too.
I was married for 22 years and ex had had the snip when second child was born. so I didnt need to use contraception.
I have been seperated for year and half now and have had a new partner for the past six months.
I dont really want to go on the pill but I also dont wish to get pregnant. I am using condoms at mo but we both hate those. My partner also had come out of a long relationship so we both know that we wont be passing on any std's. Advice please on the chances of me getting pregnant bearing in mind the gap between my periods

Be REALLY careful, my friend! What a lot of women are unaware of is that right before menopause begins...they are likely to be the most fertile they have EVER been!! I found that out the hard way! When my gyn told me that little fun fact, I got kind of insensed as to why this is not a KNOWN fact! (I worked in the medical profession at the time too!) It is really difficult to monitor ovulation also because of the infrequent periods and estrogen instabilities. Go on the pill or get a progesterone insert...those eggs are going for their last hurrah and that's no joke! They mean business!! LOL
Good Luck!

i'm in menopause and it does not sound like all of my indicators. Menopause specifically includes warm flashes, moodiness, very mild or no era, and absence of motivation. something effective to look ahead to, huh? i'd say that's greater a hormonal imbalance happening, yet you rather shouldn't a being pregnant attempt to rule it out for stable. stable success to you.

As long as you are still having periods, no matter how infrequent, it is possible that you are still ovulating. There are obviously still female hormones in your body at the moment and they could do anything.

I would go very careful because as you still have some periods means that you are still ovalating. I think your best bet is the coil. Ask your doctor.

period = ovulation = possibility to get pregnant = use contraception

to put it this way if your bleeding you can be breeding, go to docs and have a blood test they can determine if fertile enough to fall pregnant. just been told at 33 hormone levels to low to fall pregnant,shant miss them myself. but the caribbean moments and flooding can be embarrasing.

As long as you are having periods, you are releasing eggs, they could be fertilized so be careful.
