As long as you are menstruating, pregnancy is still possible. If you are concerned about preventing an unplanned pregnancy, you should continue to use Birth Control until your doctor confirms that you are POSTmenopausal. Your doctor can order a blood test to check your FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) level, which rises during the time (perimenopause) when your periods become increasingly irregular, and infrequent. When you have an FSH level higher than 25 mIU/ml, AND you have not had a period for several months, you are PROBABLY postmenopausal. But don't stop birth control until your doctor advises you that it is time to do so. On the other hand, if you are considering having a baby after about 38 years of age, it's important to explore the pros and cons with your doctor. One concern, is that the risk of certain congenital disorders increases somewhat, so it's a good idea to make a fully informed decision.
