HI, I am 54 yrs old and had my periods on 2nd nov after 6 mnths, on 9the we have had sex, I am ever so worried of getting pregnant. Didnt get period after that, done pregnancy test 7 times, all the 7 times it came out to be negative, then did menopause test with home test kit, it came out to be negative again, what should I do,, what it could be, what does negative means. I am really worried please please help me.
Thanks Lisa, I been to my doctor and she has taken blood sample to check the level of hormones, she was also not very sure about my funny symptoms, but she thinks these are because of Menopause. I hope and wish it is menopause. Get prickly feelings on my body, thats funny.
Thanks once again
Thanks once again
Seven negative pregnancy tests sounds pretty convincing. Chances are that you are not pregnant. But if you are that worried, a doctors visit may be in order.
As far as "menopause test kits" are concerned, they are not nearly as accurate as pregnancy tests, because they measure levels that can fluctuate widely due to a number of factors.
At 54, chances are that you are in perimenopause, regardless of what the test may have said. That does NOT mean that you can't get pregnant, so you should take the necessary precautions.

In any case, it may not be a bad idea to check with your doctor.
