Just wanted to share that I am 41 and thought I too was perimenopausal- My husband had a vasectomy 12 years ago and did all three post-tests to ensure everything was safe. I took a pregnancy test after not getting my period for three months- and it came back positive. However, because of the vasectomy, I began googling reasons for false postives. The primary reason was cancer. I went to the doctor with this information after my self diagnosis. She examined me and informed me that I was at least 12 weeks pregnant. Apparently there is a 1 in 4000 chance for it to occur so late after a vasectomy. It ended up being our third child and first boy. He is loved and treasured by his big sisters and parents- I now have a tubal ligation. However, the delivery nurse told me she assisted a couple who had both a tubal ligation and vasectomy....so nothing is 100%.
