What you mean is menopause but it isn't a process in which a woman stops producing egg cells. From the point of birth, women have a limited number of egg cell and they don't produce new ones throughout their life. Menopause comes when woman runs out of her egg cells.

The time when a woman stops producing egg cells around the age of 50 is called menopause. During menopause, a woman's hormone levels decrease, leading to the cessation of ovulation and menstrual cycles.

How get women get pregnant?

Women have sex cells called eggs, and men have sex cells called sperm. When a woman has unprotected sex with a man (ie she's not taking Birth Control and the man isn't using a condom) and one of the man's sperm cells enters the woman's egg, a fetus forms and the woman becomes pregnant. Some people have fertility issues, meaning that it's difficult or impossible for them to have a baby naturally. There are treatments these people can use to increase the chance of pregnancy.
