Glad you took it well.  I don't get offended easily, but that question would offend me.


Why? It is a standard question medical people have to ask before they do certain procedures.  I have been asked several times and I am not spring chicken.

 

i just say " yes" and watch their expression,

Re: I Got Asked If I Was Pregnant!

I am 72.  The past several years at each yearly physical I get asked if I am sexually active by the nurse as she fills out the pre-visit form.  I've never been asked if I am pregnant.  She apologizes each time and says asking this question is the law.  I just smile.  I would like to ask her how often is active but she is already embarrassed.  I have been with my obgyn since he got out of medical school about 25 years ago.  If he had asked me that question I would have asked him his definition of active.  At my age I should not need to be asked either question especially because of some law.

Re: I Got Asked If I Was Pregnant!

Once when I was 60, the doctor asked me what type of birth control I was using.  I said I didn't need any.  She started to give me a lecture about unintended pregnancies and when I started laughing - she did too.  I guess sometimes people just get so embroiled in the have-to-ask questions etc., they forget who they are talking to.

"how often is active"

 

I just spit my coffee!  You should have asked!

[ Edited ]

shoot with the new technology of today some of these women are opting to have kids for other people well into their 60's !  Wouldn't surprise me if their is a pregnant 70 yr. old out there some where.

men turning into women, and vice versa. Nothing surprises me today.

Re: I Got Asked If I Was Pregnant!

I think I'd worry about a nurse who would ask a woman your age that.I'm absolutely positive there is a ? on her form asking what age you went thru menopause that would have been more appropriate and would have answered this ? too.
