Odds of Pregnancy at Age 47?

Hi

I'm already a whole week late, with subtle signs of pregnancy.  I just turned 47 and was planning on tying my tubes here in the the next month or so -- and now this?  I can't even find out what the odds of a natural pregnancy at my age are.  Some very definite changes from my "routine" cycle.  I've got some nausea, tender breasts and one negative pregnancy test.  But with my youngest son, my home pregnancy test also turned out negative, even though I was pregnant.  It just seems ridiculous to be pregnant -- we weren't even trying  and my husband didn't even have an orgasm -- he limped out during that encounter (around my birthday).  So it seems kind of like a joke.  I'm about ready to try a test again -- still no period and almost 2 weeks late now.  I keep reading how it's almost impossible at my age to get pregnant naturally.  Any comments?

Having a child with Ds. You lost out on a beautiful gift from God. The wrapping was different, that's all. Sorry that you didn't except the gift. Our son with Ds is the light of our family.

I am 46 and i just got married to a 32 year man and he has no kids, I have 3 daughters ages 26, 24, and 16. I had my left fallopian tube removed about 9 years ago because of an etopic pregnancy back then i didnt think i would want to have anymore kids so i had the my right tube tied with fallope rings. Call me crazy but i want to have another child with my husband and i know that it will be risky but it is something i really want to do. I am in good health workout 5 times a week at the gym, very active.  Please tell me a solution
