Do I need to see a dr if perimenopause is causing a positive pregnancy test?

Half a page of replies with yes you need HRT etc etc before someone pipes up with have you had sex? Yes but I’m 50.

others suggesting no menopause doesn’t result in +ve HCG, but some kinds of tumours can.

Surely in the normal world if you are having periods, have sex and then get a positive pregnancy test the first most obvious cause would be pregnancy?

I saw that thread and couldn’t believe how thick some of the posters are. Since when does perimenopause cause a woman’s body to produce pregnancy hormones?!

Having had eleventy billion rounds of IVF I just googled it as some IVF drugs can raise HCG so I was wondering if menopause could do the same. Apparently a low level of HCG is possible in menopause and is usually a natural hormonal variation. Every day’s a school day hey!

they cling to the belief that anyone over 35 is too old to get pregnant.

someone’s posted that any woman having babies in their 50’s is actually the result of “a teenage daughter looking a bit plump for a while”

At 50, I don't think it's the most likely cause but it should certainly be checked out.

Yep, I reacted very badly when DH first contacted me, I really regret posting without thinking. We are not a rich family though, DH is a bus driver and I don't work due to ill health (I was in hospital the other week). This was our car, which is the laughing stock of the internet, it was a lovely car, it may have been cheap, but it was reliable and was the last car my dad ever went in before he died, so I feel sentimental about it.

I'm outing myself here, I'm the poster with the Jag. It was a nice car and we've never had (or been able to afford or will again) a nice car!

I get where you're coming from. As I said above I laughed my arse off when Son In Law came home with one, but it was a lot of luxury car for not a lot of money IYSWIM

Insurance will pay out though, and you might well find another. Have look on the dedicated Jag owner groups on facebook.

Wanky thread about job titles and not telling people what you do because the great unwashed won’t understand
Click to expand...
Whenever anyone asks me what my job title is, I give a silvery, tinkly laugh and tell them I'm the cleaner. I don't think many people would understand how, a slender, beautiful blonde woman who looks about 23, could possibly be the Head of Marketing Automation Specialist, Brand Ambassador and Social Media Content Creator and I earn £675,000 pa.

On the other hand, I could tell them the truth, that I am an office worker, earn just above NMW and I work for that annoying opera singer with a twirly moustache.

Anyone told her she’s probably dying of ovarian cancer yet, that normally gets casually thrown about 😅

‘I don’t want to alarm you OP but my Aunt thought she was pregnant at 53. It was actually advanced ovarian cancer, she was riddled, and we buried her within the month’

No, no that wouldn’t alarm anyone at all 😅

My aunt, aged 51, actually was pregnant, with twins (of course) and her DH ran off with her Lactation Consultant, who was a man, then only one of the twins was gifted and talented so she sold the other one to a very famous woman who wanted a daughter, I can't give any clues, apart from telling you the famous woman didn't come from Peckham.

And if you believe that you'll believe I am a teeny weeny size 6 and frequently mistaken for my 3yo's little sister.

I’m not allowed to tell anyone what my job is 🕵️

it’s actually admin, but because of the sector and some of the information I have access to, they advise not to make it general knowledge.

so I am well practiced in the tinkly laugh and oh I’m just an admin assistant. Or I used to work for the NHS. No, not a nurse, admin.

I actually met a head man who was a phlebotomist but told everyone he was a nurse because “you wouldn’t understand”. Erm I worked for the nhs for 20 years mate, think I have a vague idea.

I bet he wasn't actually a phlebotomist either. My neighbour's ex-husband told everyone he was a Forensic Pathologist, and frequently on call for the police for unexplained deaths and murders. He didn't even work in the path lab, bless him, he was a porter, as everyone local realised, if they ever had to visit the local hospital.

Ahhh fond memories of my mother telling me all about her appointment with the lobotomist 😂

As you were.
