Hi i have just turned 48 and spotted when i went to the toilet 6 days before periods due. my periods have not come. could i be pg?

Not likely, but: If you still have been ovulating, i guess it is not 100% impossible. It is far more likely that you are peri-menopausal and your periods will become irregular, scant and stop altogether over the next few years. If you wish, you might do a pregnancy test. If it is positive, definitely see a doctor as this might be considered a high-risk pregnancy due to your age. Good luck!
