It's not your age but your Hormone Balance which is required for a healthy pregnancy. 
Next Steps
It's not normal to have irregular periods  ( early or late), missing periods, spotting between periods, prolonged heavy flow, pains and cramps during cycle, PMS and mood changes before periods, PCOS, Fibroid, Endometriosis,  fertility issues, tiredness, hair fall,  sleep disturbances, weight issues etc. If it is happening to you,  it's a sign of underlying  hormone  imbalance  which needs further evaluation with blood investigations , scan etc.Good news is that all your problems  can be totally  reversed , not by masking the symptoms  with pills but by addressing  the underlying  cause of the problem and healing it from the ROOT cause which is not in your pelvis BTW. Why is it a serious problem and why you should not ignore it? Because, If it is not treated early, it can also lead to serious health problems like diabetes, heart disease, and even cancers. Not only the symptoms of hormone imbalance make your life miserable, there is a scientific proof that they also  increase your chances of developing a big disease later on in life, like full-blown diabetes, autoimmune thyroid disease, and even cancers. The BioCycle study (NIH 2009) showed that untreated, hormonal imbalances increase significantly a woman’s  risk to diseases of inflammation – heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and premature aging. PCOD ,period problem s, fertility issues and thyroid issues are completely reversible in my experience. I have reversed not only my own PCOD but have helped hundreds of women heal their hormone Imbalances and achieve healty natural pregnancies. It's frustrating to see that so many women are suffering and not getting the right information. It can be reversed not by masking the symptoms with drugs but by addressing the root cause of the problem. Needs root cause evaluation with further investigations...Can be healed with diet changes, lifestyle changes, self care and Detoxification.Hope this helps. Feel free to do online video consultation with me on Practo if you want more support.

Getting pregnant at 42  may be  difficult as your ovarian reserve will be low. The chances will be about 5 percent per month.   If unable to conceive after unprotected intercourse for 3 months ,please consult fertility specialist for help The risk of chromosomal abnormalities like down's syndrome in the baby is more in older  women more than 40 years The risk of miscarriage is more in older women Medical disorders like diabetes ,hypertension thromboembolism are more in older pregnant women

Pregancy at 42 yrs of age needs more close monitoring and follow up with the doctor! There are increased risk of antepartum/postpartum complications and medical conditions like diabeteic/hypertension Also there increased age related risk of chromosomal abnormalities! But if u take follow up with a GYNECOLOGIST where tertiary care facilities are available then there should not be an issue! Take care Stay safe 🙏
