I'm 42. My ds is 13. I'm looking at going back to work. We've had a couple of huge medical bills added to our budget. We used almost all of our savings to cover our bills while dh had to be off work and scrimped to build those savings back up. I take medication for my MS. I'm under a lot of stress for all of those reasons. So, why am I so disappointed and upset that I'm starting to feel cramping from the period that is three weeks overdue?  |

Were you hoping to be pregnant?

No, because of all of those reasons. Yes, because I would have loved to have another child.
Both my aunt and great aunt had children at 43. I guess I started thinking I'd be the one in my generation.

I'm sorry you are disappointed, even if it was not a great idea. I thought I was pregnant when my kids were 14 & 13. I was really excited, even though it would be stupid to start over. I wasn't It did convince DH to have a vasectomy, lol! |

I think that there is going to be that little spark of hope in most women when they think there is a possibility that they are pregnant, even though their rational brain is throwing out valid reasons why they shouldn't want to be. Especially when you have a secret desire of bringing one more child into your family. Don't be hard on yourself for it. I think it is a normal, natural desire, even if it is inopportune timing.

Do you take Beta Seron for your MS? My sister takes that and gets it for free through a program called Beta Plus (866)247-8260 is their phone number. I know some of those meds can be pricey

Sorry to hear you're in a tough spot.
Regarding late children, I think most (I'm sure not all) women have a time when they face the possibility of never being able to get pregnant again. Even if you don't want another child I think there is a psychological component to saying goodbye to your fertility and youth. That's how it felt for me. I was 43 when I went into menopause and I would dream about being pregnant for quite a few years after that. Never had those dreams before.
