If she isn't in menopause, and your sperm are healthy, something you might want to have checked, the chances aren't as good as is they would be if she was younger, but still quite possible.

I agree with bonestructure.

Assuming she's not in menopause and you're still valid - the same as any couple your age.

How much sex she has had previously is irrelevant.  As long as there is an egg and sperm she can get pregnant.  Keep in mind that there are certain risk factors that come with age for the mother-to-be.  The older you are the more dangers involved and the more tired she can be even after pregnancy.

if she hasn't had sex, there is no chance of her being pregnant, but if she has recently, there is a possibility.

How Can I Get Rid of a Yeast Infection?

QUESTION Dear Midwife, I have had a yeast infection throughout my entire pregnancy. My doctor has tested me for STD's and all are negative. He has prescribed metro gel to me. I have used this every few months. I am now on my 32 week and am using this prescription every other week. Is there something stronger I can use or something I can change or do differently to help? ANSWER Metrogel will not cure a yeast infection; it's for a bacterial infection and can actually cause a yeast infection. Have you tried Diflucan™ (the yeast pill)? There are also over the counter yeast preparations and a heavy duty vaginal cream (Terazol) that might be appropriate. If all these fail, borax washes help some women and the yeast can be cultured to see what will kill it. Other things you can do for yourself include: Eliminating sugars as much as possible (no soda or juices) Only two fruits and two dairies per day Eating more vegetables and proteins Good luck! -- Cynthia, CNM. PhD.
