Ep. 235: Can You Get Pregnant During Perimenopause?

Ep. 235: Can You Get Pregnant During Perimenopause?

Think fertility ends in your 40s? Not so fast. Even as hormone levels fluctuate and cycles become irregular, many women in perimenopause are surprised to learn that pregnancy is still possible — and sometimes more common than you might think.

In this episode, we explore what really happens to your fertility during perimenopause, why your ovaries can still release eggs, and how conditions like thyroid disease and autoimmune disorders can affect conception.

💡 We discuss:

  • How perimenopause differs from menopause

  • Why ovulation still happens (even with unpredictable cycles)

  • How egg quantity and quality change with age

  • The impact of thyroid and autoimmune conditions on fertility

  • What tests and steps to take if you’re trying — or trying to avoid — pregnancy

  • Why reliable contraception is still important until menopause is confirmed

🎧Tune in and uncover – whether you’re hoping to conceive or preventing pregnancy – how your body changes in perimenopause can help you make informed decisions.
