Hi!

I didn't have sex for 8 years. Then I had one time sex with my bf last Dec. 15, 2016. My last period before having sex was Dec. 1st. My next cycle was supposed to be on Dec. 29th, but didn't come. January 12, and 13, 2017, I had very light pinkish/brownish spotting, which I thought was Implantion Bleeding. Then on the 14th I had bright red bleeding in the afternoon with a small clot. Then today, Jan. 15th, when I woke up at 6:30am, I didn't bleed until later today. But it looks like a regular menstruation. I've had 4 different HPTs and all were BFN. My symptoms were like with my first child, just feeling sleepy and back ache. But this time, I just wake up in the morning and it varies like 1am, 3am, 4am, etc.

Could I still be pregnant at 46? Or is it because I haven't had sex for a long time prior to this one?

Thank you in advance for any info!

Hello Anonymous,

Yes, you could still get pregnant at age 46 if you are still having a monthly period. It does not matter that you had not had intercourse for eight years.

From what you have shared, it is possible that you did become pregnant and the spotting was implantation bleeding.

It is possible that the bleeding with small clot is indicative that you lost this early pregnancy. You could reach out to your gynecologist.

Hello allistairzane,

Your last period showed you that you were not pregnant. Try to relax and wait for your period to start in the next few days.

Hello Anonymous,

Start by taking a pregnancy test, just to be sure. Other factors, such as high stress levels, extreme weight gain or weight loss, and illness, such as being sick with the flu can cause a delay in the start of your period.

Hello Anonymous,

Being ill might be the reason your period is late. Wait and see what happens.
