I'm 50 but wants to have a baby

I got pregnant when I was 49 and carried it 5 weeks and lost it and then I got pregnant again I think but I just wasn't sure but I missed my period and my nipples was sore and my areola got dark those were my symptoms that I had and I felt tired too. But I went and donated plasma twice then my cycle came on and I noticed a few clots and a mucus like phlegm with the clots. I was like darn I probably was pregnant. What do you think? Anyone have an idea. Also is it possible that I may still be producing eggs my cycle never changed much.

It's possible to still produce eggs at 49 or 50, but those eggs are 50 years old, since you are born with all the eggs you will ever have.  That is why the birth-defect rate goes up as you get older, if you are lucky enough to get pregnant, and the likelihood of pregnancy goes down.  If you were doing IVF with donor eggs, I'd say go for it, but if you are financially strapped it would be nearly impossible because it can cost up to $20,000 or more.
