My wife has already passed through menopause, but they still insisted on a pregnancy test before back surgery recently.


Being post-menopause is almost 100%, not quite 100%.

> Generally speaking, postmenopausal pregnancy is unlikely, although not entirely impossible. HRT will not trigger the ovaries to produce new eggs. If a woman has remaining eggs after menopause, HRT might trigger the release of an egg. There are few reports of postmenopausal women conceiving naturally, but this is very rare.


Well, she is post menopausal, but still has in an IUD and we always use a condom. There is less than zero chance of her getting pregnant.
