There is no specific age. Age only determines how 'strong' sperm are and how viable the egg is in a woman. With age the number and strength of sperm goes down to a point when it is unlikely fertilization will occur, and with women the eggs will eventually stop being produced and hence no longer be able to become pregnant. However medical procedures such as tubal ligation and vasectomies can prevent eggs from meeting sperm despite the male and female being young in age.

Olivia, how old are you? Are you asking how old a woman must be before she can get pregnant? Or how old she must be before she cannot get pregnant anymore?

Women can probably become pregnant at almost any age past puberty. The oldest was either 69 0r 70 as of 4 years ago. That was in India. After menopause, a previously harvested egg of either the mother or a donor must be used along with a hormonal regime to prepare the woman to receive the in vitro fertilized embryo.

For men it is a matter of having viable sperm. If in vitro is used with selective separation of viable sperm and injection in the egg to overcome egg coating problems, it should only be limited by having viable sperm. With sperm banks, a man doesn't have to even be alive to be a father again. For natural insemination, it practically depends on having enough strong sperm and the libido to orgasm. Men have became fathers naturally after the age of 70 and possibly a lot older. Only modern genetic testing will be able to separate the truth from fish stories with the men.
