Fertility Acupuncture for Women Over 40
Natural Support for Conception, IVF, and Reproductive Health
Trying to conceive after age 40 can come with unique challenges, but it’s far from impossible. While age may bring natural changes in egg quality, hormone levels, or cycle regularity, many women in their late 30s and early 40s go on to have healthy pregnancies.
At Seed Acupuncture in Encinitas, we provide specialized fertility acupuncture for women over 40 offering natural support for conception, egg freezing, IVF, and hormone balance. Whether you’re trying to conceive on your own or working with a fertility clinic, our care is tailored to support your goals and optimize your reproductive health.
We serve patients from Encinitas, Carlsbad, Solana Beach, Del Mar, La Jolla, Rancho Santa Fe, and throughout North County San Diego.
How Acupuncture Supports Fertility After 40
Acupuncture is a safe, research-supported treatment that works by:
✧ Regulating key fertility hormones like FSH, LH, estrogen, and progesterone
✧ Improving blood flow to the ovaries and uterus for better follicular development and implantation
✧ Reducing inflammation and oxidative stress that can impact egg quality
✧ Supporting IVF response and endometrial receptivity
✧ Lowering cortisol and supporting emotional well-being during the fertility process
These benefits are especially helpful for women navigating diminished ovarian reserve, irregular cycles, high FSH, low AMH, or age-related fertility concerns.

Why Timing Matters in Your Early 40s
Egg maturation takes about 90 days, meaning what you do now can influence your cycle 3 months from now. That’s why we recommend starting acupuncture at least 8-12 weeks before trying to conceive or beginning an IVF cycle. Early care allows us to:
Improve ovarian blood flow and nutrient delivery
Regulate estrogen, FSH, AMH, and progesterone levels
Support uterine lining development for implantation
It’s never too early to start preparing your body with intentional, natural care.
A Whole-Body, Personalized Approach
Acupuncture is only one piece of the puzzle. At Seed, we take a whole-body approach by combining:
