Feeling the pressure of age on fertility?

Trying to have a baby after 35 can feel overwhelming. Many women notice that it takes longer to get pregnant, periods become irregular, or previous IVF/IUI attempts didn’t go as planned.

These challenges are often linked to Advanced Maternal Age (AMA)—but it doesn’t mean your chances are gone. With the right support, you can still take control of your fertility and prepare your body for a healthy pregnancy.

Women over the age of 35 are considered to be of advanced maternal age (AMA). At this stage, natural fertility begins to decline due to biological changes, even for women who have previously conceived without difficulty.

These changes include:

  • Decreased egg quality and quantity – fewer eggs and higher risk of chromosomal abnormalities.

  • Hormonal fluctuations – irregular cycles, unpredictable ovulation, and reduced fertility window.

  • Reduced uterine receptivity – making implantation more challenging.

  • Increased risk during pregnancy – higher chances of miscarriage, gestational diabetes, or preeclampsia if not properly managed.

Without proactive care, these factors can make conception and pregnancy more difficult.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) adopts a holistic, individualized approach. Instead of only focusing on symptoms, TCM addresses the underlying imbalances in the body that affect fertility.

Key benefits include:

  1. Hormonal Regulation & Ovulation Support

    TCM herbs and therapies help balance estrogen, progesterone, and other reproductive hormones, supporting regular ovulation cycles.

  2. Improving Egg Quality & Uterine Health

    Acupuncture and specific herbal formulas enhance blood flow to the ovaries and uterus, improving the environment for egg development and implantation.

  3. Stress Reduction & Lifestyle Optimization

    Chronic stress can affect fertility by disrupting hormonal balance. TCM incorporates relaxation techniques, dietary guidance, and gentle exercise recommendations to restore body-mind equilibrium.

  4. Pre-Assisted Reproduction Preparation

    For women undergoing IVF, IUI, or ICSI, TCM can optimize physical condition and enhance the chances of treatment success, reducing complications and improving outcomes.

  5. Addressing Age-Related Fertility Challenges

    Through individualized assessment, TCM practitioners identify patterns such as kidney deficiency, blood stasis, or liver qi stagnation, tailoring treatments to each woman’s unique needs.

Risks of advanced maternal age without proper care

Neglecting fertility health after 35 can increase risks such as:

  • Recurrent miscarriage or difficulty conceiving naturally

  • Poor response to fertility treatments

  • Pregnancy complications including gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, or preterm labor

  • Higher likelihood of chromosomal abnormalities in embryos

Proactive TCM care can mitigate these risks, supporting both natural conception and assisted reproductive success.

Frequently Asked Question

What is considered advanced maternal age?

Women aged 35 and above are generally considered to be of advanced maternal age. Fertility naturally declines after 35 due to reduced egg quality and quantity.

For fertility, TCM usually recommends at least 3–6 months of consistent care, as egg and sperm maturation takes time.

Can TCM improve fertility for women over 35?

Yes. TCM takes a holistic approach, addressing hormonal balance, ovulation, blood circulation, and stress. Many women experience improved cycles, egg quality, and uterine health with consistent TCM support.

How does TCM work with IVF, IUI, or ICSI?

TCM can prepare the body before treatment, enhance receptivity of the uterus, regulate hormones, and reduce stress. This can improve success rates and reduce potential complications.

How long before I see results with TCM?

Results vary depending on age, health status, and fertility challenges. Many women notice improvements in cycle regularity and energy levels within 1–3 months, while assisted reproduction benefits may be seen alongside treatment cycles.
