A 75 year old man can still get a woman pregnant.

Although a man's fertility declines as they age a man can still produce sperm that is fertile throughout their lives no matter their age.

Just being older in age does not mean you won't get a woman pregnant so if you don't plan to have a baby and want to have sex you should still use condoms.

Sperm quality also does decline as you age and into your 70s and older men are much more likely to pass on genetic disorders to their children.

A decline in the man's testosterone levels can also impact the mans fertility through sexual dysfunction including erectile dysfunction.

If you're an older man you should have your semen analyzed to make sure everything is normal and have your doctor review any medications you take.

There have been men in their 80s and 90s who've gotten women in their 80s and 90s pregnant as well.

I see it's been a while since you've posted, but I just want to ask—has anyone talked to a doctor about this kind of situation lately? I’m curious how often men in their 70s still have viable sperm without needing any medical help. Seems like it could vary a lot from one person to another. Would love to hear if anyone has personal experiences or updates.

My uncle became a dad again at 74 using IVF and a younger egg donor. If natural conception isn’t working, things like Surrogacy in Georgia can be a good alternative. It’s way more affordable than in some other countries, and the legal process is pretty straightforward for parents. Definitely something worth looking into if you're still hoping to raise a child later in life.
