Is Pregnancy Possible In Menopause?

default
Posted on Tue, 13 May 2014
Question: Hi, my name is XXXX and I am 55 yrs old. I have not had a period for about 7 yrs. I had a massive tumor removed that surrounded my spine 6 yrs ago. The Dr said this could have stopped my periods and they might start back. Thankfully this has not been the case. My husband passed away 2 yrs ago and I have just recently become sexually active with a man I am seeing. He thinks we don't have to be concerned with me becoming pregnant. Needless to say at my age that would not be a good thing. What do you think? Thanks for your advice. XXXX
