Menopause and Pregnancy Can Occur

 Mike Jerry



Introduction
Oh yes, it can happen. Even women who are going through menopause can still become pregnant. Not until eggs cease exiting the ovarian tubes will a woman's ability to become pregnant cease as well. Even after a woman has stopped making her own eggs she may still become pregnant if she uses a donor egg. Premenopausal women and menopausal women are still at risk of becoming pregnant even if they are no longer having normal periods. Pregnancy during menopause can bring on a variety of complications including: reduced bond density in the mother, aggravating circulation problems, and having an extremely high risk pregnancy.

The meaning of menopause actually implies the shutting down of the fertility period of women, while pregnancy implies fertility at its height. Can menopause and pregnancy co-exist? Can pregnancy happen during this time? Surprisingly, the answer is 'yes'. There is a high probability of getting pregnant during the initial stages of menopause. This is because the ovaries will not stop producing eggs in one instant. It will do so gradually and it will have intermittent periods of off-and-on.

Now if you think it is off and do not take any precaution, then during that time you can definitely get pregnant! Since menopause is a long drawn out process, lasting anywhere from two to ten years, it is wise to keep taking precautions if you are leading a sexually active life and do not want pregnancy to occur. If you are among those who want to take the chance, please rest assured that this is as good a time as any to get pregnant.
