You are not too old at all! Besides, it is not the age per se that matters - as much as your biological age. A 33 year old who takes very good care of themselves physically will be in better stead to have a baby than a 25 year old who is in poor health.
Given your past history, (what with your liver etc) I would suggest that you and your DH consult a Naturopath who specialises in NFM so you can start a preconceptual care program to prepare your bodies for conception. In this time, the naturopath will address any underlying vitamin or mineral deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, and toxicity issues, which will greatly increase your quality of egg and sperm, as well as reduce your suseptibility/risk for morning sickness, premature birth, various conditions and the like.
I can highly recommend the book, The Natural Way to Better Babies; Preconceptual Care for Prospective Parents, by Francesca Naish. She is Australia's most esteemed natural fertility advisor and runs the Jocelyn Centre for Natural Fertility Management in Sydney.
Obviously you will have to confirm with your DH that this is the path that you wish to go down first! But no, I don't think that having a baby at 33 or 34 will ruin your life - I think it will add to it! But i don't know what life situation you are in, and only you can make that choice based on your circumstances!!
