Have plenty of magazines or a good book tonight in case you can't sleep!

I also went through a time where I thought I might be pregnant because of no periods and a husband who have had a vasectomy....it was the most scary experience at 49 years of age!

Thinking of you MollyBee! And a BIG hug.x

Did you have positive pregnancy tests matildamouse? I can remember being worried too over pregnancy scares but all my tests were negative.

Let us know how the scan goes MollyBee. Big  :hug: from me too.

No I did not as I was too scared to do the tests....😬 as silly as that might sound. In hindsigt I realise now that it was a combo of menopause and stress which made them go away. But my anxiety levels went through the roof with just the thought of a possible pregnancy..so I feel for MollyBee.

Please keep us updated MB. Fingers crossed for you.x

It doesn't sound silly at all Matilda! I know of two mums locally who had their last surprise babies at 48 and 49 respectively. They both have grandchildren older than their youngest children! I had to use emergency contraception at the age of 52 which seemed a bit extreme.

Hope you are ok MollyBee

Hi Ladies,

Thank you all so much for your concern.

I went for the scan at the pregnancy advisory centre, an external scan picked nothing up so the doctor performed a vaginal scan, she took ages and I had to manoeuvre a couple of times and at first she struggled to find anything but then found what she thought 'may' be a yolk sac but she thought it looked like there was bleeding into it. She could not find a heartbeat. I have now been referred to the early pregnancy unit at our local hospital (next Thursday) The doctor suspects that I may have had a missed miscarriage (where the foetus' heartbeat has stopped but my body still thinks it's pregnant & so continues to release the pregnancy hormones.) It's all very unclear at the moment and I still struggle to accept that I may be (or may have been) pregnant. It just seems so unlikely  :-\ and I don't 'feel' pregnant.

Matildamouse... did you tell your husband at the time when you had your scare? I still haven't told mine but I'm starting to wish that I had, I hate keeping things from him but I just know that he'll question whether I've been faithful (which I totally have!) and I couldn't stand the thought of being accused along with the worry of being pregnant at 48  :'(.

Taz... Since you mentioned your friend I have been researching pituitary disorders and I do have a lot of the symptoms including a phantom smoke smell that very frequently plagues me, I had an mri about three years ago relating to this and it picked up nothing at the time. I guess I'm just going to have to wait and see what Thursday brings and then go from there.

I confided in my friend last night as I couldn't keep it to myself any longer, she's being very supportive and is taking me for the scan on Thursday.
I'll let you all know how it goes. Thank you so much again for all your concern and support, this forum and you ladies are amazing!

MollyBee, I can only imagine how your feeling  :'( :. But would you not consider telling your husband, it's a lot for you to be going through on your own. I mean if he finds out at a later stage how will he react then? The fact that you keep I from him may make him more suspicious and you never know he might surprise you and be supportive. It's worth thinking about and wouldn't it be so much better to face whatever the outcome together. Either way it's your decision. Sending you hugs x

Thanks for updating us MollyBee. I agree with Yammy that it would be better to share this with your husband. He surely needs to know that his vasectomy may have failed as he may need tests and a scan himself to see what is happening in his body. You need to go through this together.

It's interesting that you did have the pituitary symptoms before but nothing was picked up on MRI. Did the scan doctor know this?

I agree with you ladies, I wish I'd told him from the start now, I think I was in my own little panic whirlwind and thought I could deal with it alone.

Taz.. no, I never mentioned the mri at the scan, I didn't consider it to be relevant at the time as it was a few years ago and it came back clear - although I do still suffer the smoke smell very frequently to the point where it makes my eyes water they never investigated further and I never chased it up but with hindsight I probably should have. I will mention it on Thursday when I go for the next scan.

It's a good idea to mention it I think just so they can rule it out.

Hi Mollybee. I agree with the other girls. Do tell your husband but maybe be informed before you do as to why he might actually be the problem so that he will be more supportive.  Vasectomies are not always full proof.  Good luck with everything
