I am 46 years old. We had our second child when I was just shy of 44 and she breastfed until this last March. My periods resumed four months after her birth, even with demand breastfeeding and ranged from21-35 days apart. My last period began May 28 and was normal. We went on vacation in early June and we do not use any form of birth control. Shortly after returning, I stared having horrible hot flashes, light-headed ness, nausea and fatigue. I assumed it was just jet lag and recovering from a busy trip with two demanding kids. It's now been 63 days since my last period. My BBT has been rather low and I just experienced two weeks of what I assumed was fertile cervical fluid until a friend asked if I might be pregnant. I don't have any symptoms now but am still wondering if I did conceive and am pregnant even though my temps are low. I know at my age I am certainly peri menopausal but have never gone this long without a cycle, so I am a little worried we might have another little one on the way! I haven't taken a test yet because I don't want to make a fool of myself! Any thoughts?..
