 [ Symptoms ] i am postmenopausal can i still get pregnant  i am 53 years old and have not had a period since may 2011 [ Disease ] you know that is honestly a tricky question at just over a year since your last period i would not bet the farm that you could not get pregnant your best bet is to consult your gynecologist for an opinion he or she can tell you if you still need to use birth control or if you are probably not ovulating anymore i would say until you get that expert opinion if you do not want to get pregnant you should use a condom or some other form of birth control hope this helps
