Can women in their advanced years still get pregnant?

Patient's question:

I am 36 years old and got married in June this year, but I have not been able to get pregnant in these past few months. I have been to the hospital for check-ups and confirmed that I am ovulating, but for some reason, I still haven't been able to get pregnant. Can I get pregnant at my age?

Doctor's answer:

Those who can bear children, of course, older women, should first undergo pre-pregnancy tests, considering their own health, optimal fertility, and postpartum recovery. It is recommended that you first undergo various tests such as endocrine, ovary, eggs, uterus, immunity, and sperm from the male side. These tests also have time requirements, and choosing the right time for the tests yields more accurate results and higher clinical reference value. Generally, sex hormone tests are done on the second or third day of the menstrual cycle, and routine and ovulation monitoring tests are conducted around the tenth day. The male partner should abstain from sexual activity for 5-7 days before the test.
