Hello doctor, I have a problem that I have notice, when I think I have conceived for that particular month, four days before my next period day I get some burning sensation on my back and then the pregnancy signs that I noticed in my body start to fade way and will have my period, the period be very heavy. How can I sustain my pregnancy. I am 46 years old tried IVF for several cycles.

Hi,
The pregnancy like symptoms you get before period date could be either real early pregnancy OR hormonal imbalance in premenopause. I would suggest getting blood HCG test done as soon as you have the feeling (it can detect pregnancy 3-4 days around expected date of period)...if the test is -ve it is more likely to be a premenopausal symptom. In such event, IVF is the only way left for conception. Alternatively, you can think of surrogation or adoption.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale, General & Family Physician
