Hi,
You are not too old to conceive. Yet, natural pregnancy is a little rare at this age and you would need assistance. You should see an infertility specialist, get a complete evaluation including complete hormonal assay and antral follicular count to see how much time is left. Ovulation studies should be done and your partner also should be tested for any infertility. Proper monitoring, ovulation induction if needed and timed intercourse should be tried before resorting to assisted reproductive techniques. Hope you find this information useful. Take care.
