General & Family Physician,  's  Response
I am sorry to hear about the loss of your son. Both you and your wife are considering having another child. There are cases of women getting pregnant after age 50 but the majority of them required a fertility specialist. If you are serious about having another child then I would recommend you talk with a fertility specialist to determine what your overall chances of conceiving are.

Good Luck
