I am 48 years old. I have not had a period for about four years. My pap smears are all normal. Is it possible to still get pregnant?
Thanks

It is VERY unlikely that you could get pregnant after 4 years without a period. If you are feeling very anxious about this and need proof positive, the best way to make very sure is to have a FSH blood test drawn by your doctor to prove that you are no longer in the reproductive stage. With your age and the fact that you are 4 yrs past menstruation, I think I can be very reassuring that you are not going to have a surprise pregnancy.
