I thought I was going into menopause....

Turns out, I'm just pregnant. I am 45 and my husband got a vasectomy 12 years ago. Is this even possible????? I've had irregular periods for the past two years and I've had definite pre-menopausal symptom for the past 6 months. I get hot flashes everyday, I never know when my period is coming so it wasn't a big deal that I haven't had a period since December. It didn't seem weird to me that two weeks ago, I had some light cramping. I woke up this morning with killer nausea and my boobs are killing me. I was at Target anyway so I grabbed a test and what do you know- I'm pregnant. I really thought it was impossible. My husband and I have been having unprotected sex for YEARS- how is this happening now? I have a 15 y/o and a 14 y/o. CRAP!!!! Please tell me someone else has gone through this. I haven't told my husband yet- I really don't want to at this point. Honestly, I'm hoping this is all just a mistake.

    Well I’m similar but not. Lol. I’m 38 and I was told 10 years ago after a few traumatic miscarriages that the chances of me having another baby was pretty much zero and that I “needed to be thankful for the one I got”. So, I’ve not been using protection this whole time. Then in January I started seeing this guy after being single for quite a while. Not to be vulgar but he still pulled out just in case (I’m well aware this is an unreliable method but whatever makes him less anxious lol). But wouldn’t you know it, first time we had sex I end up pregnant. My daughter is 12; his kids are 9 and 11.
    Oh and I am perimenopausal.
    And I am Rh-
    And I only have my left tube
    You’d think I’d be blissful with the miracle baby on the way but instead I’m getting anxiety over everything! I’m so scared to lose this one that I start praying every time I feel a gas bubble or a stomach ache or a muscle twitch the list goes on. I know that stressing over a miscarriage is counterproductive but I can’t seem to tell my emotions that. They don’t listen. So I end up laying in bed afraid to move for fear of doing something wrong. But then being sedentary isn’t necessarily good either.
    Someone needs to just knock me out and wake me up when I get to the third trimester when I know the baby has the greatest chance of survival.
