Infertility After 35+
Acupuncture for Infertility After 35+
​
The journey to motherhood is a deeply personal and transformative experience for women. While women who are older than 35 years may face unique challenges when trying to conceive, it is essential to approach these hurdles with optimism and a sense of empowerment.

​
Addressing Underlying Conditions
​
Becoming pregnant beyond 35 is possible. Preparing your body for this journey will require work and persistence. When working with couples in their late 30s and 40s who want to become pregnant, one of my first priorities is to ensure we address any potential underlying conditions such as:
-
Stress
-
Poor sleep quality
-
Irregular menstruation
-
PCOS/Endometriosis
​
​
Improving Reproductive Response
​
Once we have addressed any underlying issues, the next priority is to focus on improving egg quality. While egg quality tends to decrease with age, there are many things that we can do to shave years off your reproductive age. In particular, we'll discuss lifestyle and diet changes that will boost your ovarian functions. Additionally, we'll use acupuncture to improve your ovarian response, regulate your hormones and improve blood flow to the ovaries and uterus.

Many women with advanced maternal age are also turning to assisted reproductive technologies. If you are considering including IVF or IUI as part of your fertility journey, please check out the articles linked below:
