Is Conception Possible At The Age Of 41 Years?

Hi, I am a 41 year old female. I am concerned about missed periods. Every since my late 30 s to now, I ve notice that sometimes I miss periods. I have dealt with irregular periods for sometime. I might miss a month and then it return. But lately I ve notices a couple of times missing two months. Well I have not receive my period in two months now and it got me concerned. I don t think it s a possibility with me being pregnant having been having sex. But I am concerned that I might be going through Menopause. Sometimes I find myself getting hot all of a sudden. I want to have kids one day but now with missing periods I am not sure.

Hi,

Yes, it's possible to have a pregnancy at age of 41, though the chances are reduced.

The missed periods and the hot flushes may be symptoms of menopause. The missed periods are common at this age. However if you have regular sex, then the are chances to get pregnant but chances are reduced.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
