Are You Over 35? Here’s What You Should Know If You Want to Be a Mom

Being over 35 and wanting to become a mom is not only valid—it’s completely possible. Today, many women choose to postpone motherhood for personal, professional, or health-related reasons. And while it’s true that age impacts fertility, science has advanced to the point where real, safe, and personalized solutions are available to fulfill that deep desire to have a baby.

At Ingenes, we understand the unique path that comes with seeking pregnancy after 35. That’s why we’re sharing everything you need to know if you’re at this stage in your life and want to make your dream of becoming a mom come true.

What Happens to Fertility After 35?


After age 35, female fertility begins to decline more rapidly. This happens because:

  • Ovarian reserve (the quantity and quality of eggs) decreases.
  • The chances of chromosomal abnormalities in eggs increase.
  • There is a higher risk of conditions like endometriosis, fibroids, polyps, or issues with the fallopian tubes.
  • Menstrual cycles may become less regular or anovulatory (no ovulation).

But this decline does not mean impossibility—it simply means it’s time to act with information and specialized support. At Ingenes, we work with women over 40 who successfully have their babies thanks to a comprehensive diagnosis and cutting-edge technology.

How Do You Know If You Need Help?


If you’re 35 or older and have been trying to get pregnant for six months without success, it’s time to see a fertility specialist. Unlike younger women, who are advised to wait up to 12 months before seeking help, time is a key factor here.

At Ingenes, we offer an initial fertility consultation where:

  • We get to know your full medical history, lifestyle, and goals.
  • We run personalized tests to assess your ovarian reserve, hormone levels, uterine health, and more.
  • We explain your options based on your results.

Most Effective Fertility Treatments After 35

Every woman is unique, and that’s why each plan at Ingenes is tailor-made. These are some of the most recommended treatments when age is a relevant factor in your diagnosis:

Controlled Ovarian Stimulation

This treatment uses medications to stimulate the growth of multiple ovarian follicles, increasing the chances of obtaining healthy eggs.

H3: In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)

This is one of the most effective treatments for women over 35. It involves retrieving the eggs, fertilizing them with sperm in the lab, and transferring the most viable embryo to the uterus.
At Ingenes, we use advanced technologies to select the embryos with the highest implantation potential, increasing your chances of success.

IVF with Egg Donation

When egg quality is compromised, donor eggs from young, healthy women can be used. Ingenes has a rigorous donation and selection program to ensure compatibility and safety.

ROPA Method

For female couples where one partner is over 35, shared motherhood is possible through the ROPA Method. One woman provides the egg, and the other carries the pregnancy.

MORE®: An Exclusive Alternative to Improve Egg Quality

One of Ingenes’ most innovative solutions is the IVF MORE® treatment, an exclusive technique that uses regenerative technologies, advanced genetic micromanipulation, and magnetic fields to restore egg quality in women with low ovarian reserve or previous failed IVF attempts.

MORE® is specially designed for women with:

  • Advanced age
  • Endometriosis
  • Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
  • Multiple failed IVF cycles

This treatment is not available at any other institute in Latin America and represents a real hope for thousands of women who want to become mothers using their own eggs.

What If You’re Not Ready Yet, But Know You Want to Be a Mom in the Future?

If you’re over 35 but aren’t ready to get pregnant just yet, egg vitrification is an excellent option. It involves freezing your eggs while they’re still high quality, to be used later when you’re ready.

At Ingenes, you can undergo this procedure with proper medical guidance to ensure your fertility is preserved in the best possible conditions.
