Dear member,
Thanks for writing to healthcare magic.
At 49 yrs the ovarian function Has to be determined by day 2 ultrasound of ovaries and also blood tests like FSH. Also please remember the chance of downs syndrome is high in elderly mothers . So after you undergo counselling for the Same you can consider pregnancy.
Thanks
