HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Yes, you can conceive if you still have regular periods. It may be more difficult to conceive as compared to women who are younger but it would still be possible.

There are women who have conceived at this age. If you try for 6 months and there is no success, you should consider seeing a fertility specialist for assistance.

I hope this helps
