Question : I am 47 & my wife is 41 . We had sex after 23th day of her mensus . She didn't get her next cycle till 36 days .

Brief Answer:
Watchful wait advised for next 4 days.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

I understand your concern.

Its unlikely to turn pregnant with sex on day 23.

In many cases the cycle can be delayed up to 40 days.

This should not be a concern.

I advise you to wait and watch for another 4-5 days.

Periods will resume soon.

Your wife needs a uterine scan only if she does not have her period within 7 days from now.

Post your further queries if any.

Thank you.
