Can i put off menopause to try to get pregnant? i didn't think i wanted children, but now that i have found the right partner we are thinking about trying to get pregnant. however, i'm worried at 44 i'm too close to menopause. is there a way to delay it?

There : There is no way to delay menopause. Schedule a visit with your gynecologist, lab tests can be done to check your hormone levels to determine your fertility. Be aware that if you become pregnant you are considered ama (advanced maternal age) which places your baby at a higher risk for chromosomal disorders such as down's syndrome. There are ways to determine if your baby is healthy while in utero (amniocentesis). Your doctor will be able to explain all your options and risks in great detail. Best of luck.
