Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I just had a ct scan and X-ray because my blood test came back negative. I’ve gone through menopause 1-1/2 Years with a period. This morning my abdomen feels like a baby kicking inside. I’m hoping intestines can mimic baby movements. Can I be pregnant if there were no eggs to fertilize? I feel baby movements now more than before the X-ray.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The baby kicking feeling is very likely from your bowel movements with a bloated gas.
After menopause, ovaries do not release eggs. It is not possible for a woman to become pregnant after menopause unless she receives an egg from a donor. Therefore, normal pregnancy is very unlikely in postmenopausal women.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Malik Amonov
