Can you get pregnant while going through menopause?

By Zaira Salvador B.Sc., M.Sc. (embryologist).

Yes, although it is unlikely. During perimenopause, i.e. the period prior to menopause, you still ovulate and, subsequently, there are chances for you to get pregnant yet. Specialists recommend that women continue using birth control while on perimenopause until they have stopped having monthly menses for at least 12 months in a row.
