Answer:

Menopause stops the release of the egg needed for fertilization, which usually results in no pregnancy. However, pregnancy is still possible during perimenopause. Contraception is recommended to avoid unintended pregnancy until after 12 consecutive months without menstruation. Pregnancy after menopause is unlikely without fertility treatment that involves the use of donor eggs or previously frozen embryos.
