A woman can get pregnant up to age (approximately) 50 without help as in hormone treatments and artificial methods. This is individual and do depend a bit on when the menopause "kicks" in.
Some woman even get pregnant naturally even after the menopause have started but this is not very common. This just to tell that a woman is not considered sterile even after starting menopause.
However:
A woman should try to have children before the age of 40. There are for most woman increased difficulty in becoming pregnant after this age.
Downs Syndrome is also increasingly more commonly found in babies born by "older" women. The percentage of babies born with Down syndrome slowly increase after age of 40.
It is very well possible for older woman (after 50) to become pregnant, but this would include hormonal treatment and egg from a donor.
