Hi,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
Woman's fertility gradually reduces after the age of 35. For women at around 43 years the fertility is reduced by two thirds compared to women in their twenties. So though chances are less there is a possibility of pregnancy.
This is also the age around which women start having irregular cycles due to hormonal imbalance.
To clarify things get a blood pregnancy test done.
I hope I have answered to your satisfaction
