Pregnancy After Menopause: Understanding Your Chances

Question
age is 45 and athe date of last menstrual period is nine months ago.

Answer
We do not consider you to have reached menopause until you have not had a period for a full 12 months. Since you had your last period nine months ago, you still have not reached menopause and can, indeed, conceive a baby. Once you reach menopause (12 months without a period) it is doubtful that there are any more ova tht could become fertilized and you will not become pregnant. However, until you have missed a full year of your periods, you can become pregnant.
