Pregnant at 45?

[lizzieo]

I'm 45 and not trying to get pregnant.  I just took a pregnancy test 2 days ago ( in the evening) and it came back "positive" then I took another one this morning and it came back negative.  What is going on?  Is it possible I'm going through changes and my hormones are all over the place?  

I'm going to take a blood test on Monday morning, but I was curious if anyone had some insight on this.  

Thanks

I wish I had answers to these questions.  Only, my re said hcg levels can be slightly elevated in menopausal women but I doubt it's enough to give a 'positive' on an hpt.  I think you should get a blood beta-HCG test at your dr's.

I don't know if maybe age has something to do with the accuracy of the HPTs or not.  I have had negative HPTs and blood test all during this pregnancy.  They only found it through ultrasound.  I kept telling them I felt all pregnancy symptoms but they wouldn't do an ultrasound at 9 weeks because of the negative tests.  They finally agreed at 16 weeks and there he was!  I will be 51 on Sunday.  We are so excited!!!
