Hi, I am an unmarried guy of 44 years. Recently I have met an unmarried lady aged 46 years. So if we marry can we have kids in the normal way?

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
1. There is no age limit by which one must have babies but I will still suggest that you get a physical and physiological evaluation done for both you and your wife that will assess if it is wise and medically 'okay' to have a baby
2. Now comes the part of the gender of the child. How will you know that it's going to be a girl?
So, if this adventure is only to fulfil your desires of having a girl child, then you might be disappointed...Know what you want and let that want not be some sort of dream that has no meaning...
Go for the pregnancy only if you are both medically fit and also you are prepared to accept the child irrespective of the gender.

All the best!

Firstly, ita important to understand that as age advances the egg forming capacity of women diminishes and same with males, the sperm quality, quantity, motility also gets affected.
We need to evaluate the AMH LEVEL in woman to detect the ovarian function and other hormonal test also.
We need to do semen analysis in males after 3 to 4 days of abstinence
Chances of conception above 40 is 3 to 5 percent
But it's not impossible and can happen with assisted reproductive techniques.
