Patient Question
Hello Doctor,
Can a woman over 50 still get pregnant? I've been having unprotected sex with my partner, who is in her early 50s, and we're wondering if pregnancy is still a possibility.

Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
Yes, if a woman is still menstruating, pregnancy is possible, though the chances decline significantly with age. Women in their 50s are typically in perimenopause or menopause, meaning fertility is greatly reduced but not impossible. If avoiding pregnancy is a concern, contraception should still be used. If trying to conceive, consulting a fertility specialist is recommended.
Thanks
