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.
