Change-of-life babies can completely turn someone's life upside down, and I would not want risk it! Regardless of the "odds", no one wants to be the statistic.

Gosh, I'm 51 and not quite finished yet as my doc says you need to use contraception till a year has passed after your last period, and apparently you wait 2 years if menopausal before 50. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-doctors#post-1498598 Sat, 30 May 2015 14:08:52 +0000 kkards 1498598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>&nbsp;years ago i worked with a women in her late forties who didn't have a period for a couple of months and assumed it was menopause...she was around 6 months before she "discovered" she was pregnant. <br />time to find another doctor </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-doctors#post-1498570 Sat, 30 May 2015 12:31:17 +0000 crutcher 1498570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with the others...Run not walk away from this one...Where do these people come from?... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-doctors#post-1498540 Sat, 30 May 2015 11:20:31 +0000 Deborah 1498540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Of course you could fall pregnant! What planet is is from? Not the right GP for you my dear.

He laughed?</p> <p>I just read that some women could possibly get pregnant as they're entering menopause, also. Which does not sound like a great idea! Anyway great bedside manner, doc!
