First, having kids is THE BEST thing I ever did with my life. Your mileage could/may vary.
Assuming you can get your spouse on-board:
1) YOU ARE NOT PAST THE WINDOW! My wife was 40 when we had our first kid. 41 for the second. Many other parents at our kids' school are similar. Some used IVF, others did not. IVF, while unpleasant, is covered by many insurance plans.
2) As others have said, you can foster, adopt or use a surrogate.
If you cannot get your spouse on-board for trying something, then you might consider leaving them. My ex-wife and I had been trying (then 30M, 28F) without success. Our inability to conceive was one of the reasons that I left her. She now has kids with another man and I now have kids with another woman, so it all worked out. I know this is rough, but it is also a possible solution.

Good luck and I'm sorry that you are suffering.
