Getting pregnant and keeping a pregnancy become more difficult as you become older. If you still ovulate, opportunities exist to become pregnant. As it seems likely that your reproductive time is running out, you may try with an assisted reproduction technique like “in vitro” fertilization. You may consult your gynecologist about this possibility.
