Brief Answer:
Need blood test

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your desire to conceive.

Unfortunately it is difficult to conceive naturally or even with IVF at this age.

I suggest you please get serum FSH and AMH done to check your ovarian reserve.

I will suggest further treatment seeing these test values.

Let me know if you need more help.
