I think she could have kids at her age. It is said in Morgoth's Ring, "their time of generation was in their youth or earlier life... whatever age they married, their children were born within a short space of years after their wedding." [212] Since Elves are said to marry even as early as their 50th year and in the above quote it's said that soon after marriage they had kids I think Arwen was clearly old enough to have children. I think it was probably the right time for her to have kids because Elves tended to have kids in times of relative peace although in her case that came when she was human.
