At 41 years of age, could I be pregnant?
I'm 41 years and have never had a child. My guy and I have been using the withdrawal technique and no condoms. I've read that it would be very difficult for me to be pregnant at this age. All of a sudden, 3 weeks ago, I started getting abdominal and back pains, feeling nausea and wanting to spit. I felt extremely tired for days and just slept and slept. I also suddenly gave up smoking one day (great, because I had been trying for years) and have not had the urge to smoke since. I smell certain things and I want to vomit and my taste buds have gone crazy (I'm atributing this to giving up smoking) A week before my period was due, I started bleeding ( my period has been like clockwork for as long as I can remember)and it was different from my normal period, though just as heavy.
Then a few days ago, I started to feel better and thought nothing more of it. Now, I feel nausea all the time, I want to constantly spit and fight hard to keep tiredness at bay. Am I just going through hormonal changes or could it be something else.

I am 41, never been pregnant. All of a sudden for the very first time no period. I have never missed a month. I wonder though if I am starting menopause. But do you just stop immediately?
Took a test a few days ago, it was negative. Now I don't know. I have a doctors appointment tomorrow.

Sure you can be pregnant in your 40's. (check out the video) this woman just gave birth at 60. - Kate from the womens health desk at thenewsroom.com
Well, I can attest to the fact that the pull out method doesn't always work. I hear the proof of that yelling "mommy" from the next room. I'd certainly go get a test. This might just be your almost "mid-life" blessing! Keep us posted!
Yes, you can and congrats to you if you are. Have you taken and early prediction HPT yet? Keep us posted.
Many friends of mine got pregnant after 40 years old. Buy pregnancy test kit and check it!
Yes, you could be pregnant. If you are still having a regular period, the parts are still working!!! Lots of woman have children - naturally without the help of medical science - after the age of 40. Get a pregnancy test asap.
