Can you get pregnant in your late forties?
A woman can get pregnant at any age, so long as she is still getting a period and has not entered into menopause. If you are trying to conceive and having problems, you may want to consult your OB, to check your hormone levels. Women in their 40's may need hormone treatments or other forms of medical help to assist in getting pregnant.
If you are still unsure, take a home pregnancy test and find out for sure.
In the first couple of weeks-you can experience a multitude of symptoms such as light-headedness, nausea, sore breasts, more than normal vaginal discharge, sensitivity to smell, period-like cramping, light spotting also known as "implantation bleeding", heartburn, gas, constipation, metallic taste in mouth, darkening of nipples and the list goes on. Some women experience symptoms as early as the first two weeks-others don't get any symptoms-and most feel symptoms starting at about the time of their missed period. AnswerThere are a huge number of signs and symptoms that can tip you off that you might be pregnant! Of course the only way to know for sure is a positive pregnancy test (around 12-14 days past ovulation). But for all of us who are trying to conceive it is hard not to speculate about every sign!
Hormone levels increase dramatically even in very early pregnancy, which is the main source of all pregnancy symptoms. Some women will experience symptoms as early as implantation (6-12 days past ovulation) and others will only start to experience symptoms around their expected period, and others don't notice any difference until they are about 6 weeks pregnant.
Some of the most common symptoms reported by women during the first 21 days:

_____________________________________________________________
The pregnancy tests aren't always accurate, so I would talk to my doctor if I were you.
it sounds like you may indeed be in the early stages of pregnancy, in which case the sore breasts are normal, faint positives are normal, the brown discharge is even normal!
The colour of the discharge is due to the fact that any pregnancy that may be present is gaining weight day by day and in doing so puts pressure on the cervix, which in turn dislodges any old period blood which may be lying around at or beside the cervix.
What is phantom pregnancy in a dog?
The hormonal cycle of the female dog assumes that pregnancy has occurred after every cycle, whether or not a mating has taken place. She will therefore experience the physiological changes of pregnancy over the next 2 months. She will have an increase in progesterone production, milk production and an increase in appetite. She may even go into mild labor.
The caregiver may notice physical and emotional changes, particularly 8-9 weeks after her last season. She may exhibit a change in preferred diet to blander food, fluid retention, and a wish not to take her usual amount of exercise, and she may hoard toys and treat them as puppies. There may be restlessness, lack of appetite, panting, trembling, whining and nest-building at the time she would have given birth. There may be a degree of aggression to perceived threats. She will usually return to normal after 2-3 weeks, 48 hours after the birth would have occurred.
As this is a physiological occurrence which settles over 2-3 weeks, treatment is rarely needed. If possible try to reduce stimulation of the mammary glands, by reducing stroking and wiping, and not allowing the bitch to lick excessively, as these will increase prolactin release and further milk production.
Occasionally the dog may become ill, by producing excessive milk, or other problems. She may need treatment to reduce milk production, such as diuretics or hormone treatment. Although some advocate reduced fluid intake to induce dehydration and reduce milk production, others feel that this may be unsafe.
me and my sister both have, she took 13 hpt and 2 blood before a pos with her first, no she is almost 5 months and went through this all over again except this time she was actually having her period she got her pos. the month she missed and when ultra sound was done it proved all the other test were wrong. she is due sept 05 as for me I have 3 kids 1st one took several urine test , 2nd one took blood test (urine would not pick up) and 3rd one ready for this no test picked up blood nor urine i had to have ultra sound to prove test wrong the one time a urine test did pick up on me with no trouble was sept 04 and I lost my baby Oct 04 guess my body produced to much hormones that time. good luck and remember test are not always right you maybe like me and my sister ask for ultrasound if test keep coming up neg.
Who is volnerable for phantom pregnancy?
Generally people who really want to be pregnant, are anxious about becoming pregnant, or feel guilty and are paranoid about becoming pregnant.
This is probably not pregnancy. Bloating and feelings in your ovary are typical of menstruation. If you were pregnant, symptoms would most likely include morning sickness and lack of a period for two cycles.
Can you lactate during Phantom pregnancy?
Yes, you can. The hormonal changes are still there. Hormones are what make your body prepare for the baby. There have been cases of people convincing themselves they were pregnant, when they weren't, that even had their abdomen expand.
