Pregnancy during menopause?

I am 53, almost 54 years old.  I have been going through menopause for the last couple of years.  It has been almost 10 months since I last had a period.  My boyfriend and I haven't been using protection because I thought at this point I could not get pregnant.  Now for the last week...I haven't been feeling quite "normal"...a little sickly, little headaches and my nipples seem to be a lot more sensitive.  The last time I was pregnant was 27 years ago...but these symptoms seem to be what I remember from that time.  Is it really possible to get pregnant after not ovulating for 9 months?

Hello, from your age and has been for so long without menstrual , you may be relatively small chance of pregnancy. But on the other hand the human body is a complex system, anything can happen, so do not rule out the possibility of pregnancy. I suggest you go to the hospital in time to do some checking, because women after menopause to reduce estrogen  makes the body  some changes.

Have you taken an HPT yet? I would say because your body is going through the change, then it might be possible for an egg to have slipped out. I'm not really sure. Try a pregnancy test and see from there. If you really truely think you might be pregnant, and if the test is negative wait a week re-do the test and then make an appointment with your doctor. Pregnancy symptoms and PMS symtpoms and menopause symtpoms can all mimic one another.
