Of course it's still possible. Just remember that you are most fertile 12-16 days after the first day of your period. Good luck.

Oh, yeah its possible. You can get pregnant up until you are in your mid to upper 40's. It does become harder once you hit 35 and their are a few more risk, but it is possible, actually very probable. I would go see a OB/GYN and get a check up and maybe, see a genetic specialist for genetic testing and counseling, before conceiving, but it can be done safely. Just know that you might have to have an amniocentesis if, and when, you do get pregnant to make sure that you and especially, the baby are okay.

Some people wait until the are 35. I gave Birth to my Daughter at 33. They say that "Downs Syndrome" comes from the "MALES" Genes, so
don't worry about that., plus 35 is too young to worry about it. Some women have babies at 45-50 if they still have their periods. When a woman's body starts to change, where she is beginning to stop having "periods," and she Gets Pregnant, the babies are called "Change of Life Babies." As far as HOW--"Just Do What You Normally Do"...

You are past your peak fertility, so it may take a bit longer but you can still get pregnant as long as you are still ovulating. Women over 35 do it the same way women under 35 do... learning how to interpret your body's signals of fertility might help you do it faster, though. Check out Toni Weschler's "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" for info.

Of course it's possible to become pregnant after age 35, but chances decrease after age 30. There is a higher risk of Downs Syndrome in women who have babies later in life. Start taking folic acid and prenatal vitamins before you decide to become pregnant. Lots of women have normal healthy pregnancies in their 30's and 40's. make sure you are getting proper pre-natal care and follow doctor's orders. Best wishes!

Hell yes its possible. Although the odds of having a child with a birthdefect such as Down's increases at 35 but only slightly (greater chance over age 40) its very possible until the time that her menstral cycle ends. How is it possible? Use your damn head how do you think.

When you are over 35, the average time for conception is about a year.

of course you can conceive after 35 - it maybe a little harder but there shold be no problem - if you are trying for over a year and you have not conceived then go to a OBGYN

of course you can conceive it just might take a little longer. if you have been on the pill for an extended number of years it could take up to year to fall preggie. how to go about it? in the same way that everyone else does.
