Hello Ladies,
I am new here, been lurking around a bit hehe but just wanted to say, Dont give Up!. I am 46 years old, 3 grown children and just became a first time grandma on Aug.5th
and this is my story.
I have been perimenopause for a few years now which was fine with me because DH had a vasectomy after our third child was born some 21 years ago although we did regret rushing into it the way we did. Being perimenopause , my cycles have been a bit off at times then go back to normal so I didnt really think much of it when I missed AF in July. (was due July 10)
I started to notice a few odd things like really sore bbs and I got really sick as well but still didnt pay much attention just chalked it up to the flu. Well around Aug. 2 I start to get a little spotting, very light and thought AF was finally showing but alas, no, lasted less then a day and so light hardly noticable. Then along comes my first grandson and he was born very sick (almost no platlets to speak of) so he had to stay in NICU fow 10 days and I was so caught up in everything that was going on, didnt think anymore about myself.
Well after 2nd month of missing AF and 2 more bouts with nausa and throwing up and tummy problems and countinuing and might I say, very painful bbs I started thinking something isnt right here, so i bought one of those cheap storebrand tests and took it and it came back + !! OMG I was totally floored. After looking at about a hundred more times lol i still didnt believe it, couldnt believe it not after all this time so I went and did another the next day and + again! this was only a few days ago and I still cant believe it. I have an appt next week with ob so we will see but as of today, no AF and is looking like it is so.
Long story short, at 46, a grandma ,perimenopause and a failed vasectomy that we didnt know about, all though I have suspected a few times over the yrs ( and NO, i have never in 27 years ever stepped out on hubby! he is the one and only : ) we are once again truly blessed with a little miracle form god so dont ever loose hope
