YES: A woman's ovaries stop producing eggs at about age 50 or with menopause. This limits her ability to have children to that time. A man does not stop producing sperm, therefore he can father a child at any age. In reviewing family history just yesterday i saw a new father at the age of 86.

Getting Pregnant: Of course. If you are healthy and still ovulating any sperm that is fresh can cause a pregnancy, regardless of the age of the man who produced the sperm. Now, many men who are above a certain age will have diminished sperm production and may find it harder to father a child if they wan to.
