Yes, acupuncture can support your fertility by improving blood flow to the reproductive organs, balancing hormones, and regulating the menstrual cycle. From a Chinese medicine perspective, we work to restore the body's natural balance, strengthen the Kidney system, and address underlying patterns like stress, stagnation, or deficiency. Studies show acupuncture may improve IVF success rates, regulate ovulation, and support overall reproductive health.

Weekly sessions are usually recommended when you're actively trying to conceive. For certain cases (like IVF, IUI, or cycle regulation), treatments may be timed with specific phases of your menstrual cycle. A typical course of treatment is at least 3–6 months to support egg development, improve endometrial lining, and prepare the body for conception.

Absolutely. Acupuncture can be a powerful support during IVF or IUI cycles. We often focus on preparing your body in the months leading up to your procedure, supporting uterine receptivity around transfer, and reducing stress during the process. Treatment is customized to each stage of your medical cycle, whether it’s stimulation, retrieval, or transfer.

Chinese medicine looks at the root imbalances behind these conditions. Acupuncture and herbal medicine can support hormone balance, reduce inflammation, promote ovulation, and regulate your cycle. For PCOS, we often work to improve insulin sensitivity and reduce excess androgens. For endometriosis, we focus on moving blood, easing pain, and calming inflammation.

Most people are surprised by how gentle acupuncture feels. The needles are very thin—about the width of a hair—and treatments are often deeply relaxing. Some points may feel like a dull ache or tingling sensation, but nothing sharp or painful. Many patients even fall asleep during their sessions!

It depends on your individual case, but fertility treatments typically follow a 3–6 month window to influence egg quality, regulate cycles, and prepare for conception. That said, many people notice improvements in sleep, digestion, mood, and cycle symptoms much sooner. Consistency is key, especially when working with complex fertility issues.

Acupuncture is a powerful tool on its own, but I often recommend a holistic approach. That might include Chinese herbal formulas, whole-food nutrition, targeted supplements, stress reduction, and lifestyle shifts based on your unique diagnosis. We’ll create a personalized plan that supports your body fully—mind, body, and spirit.

Yes, while acupuncture can’t increase the number of eggs you have, it can support egg quality, hormonal balance, and the health of your reproductive system. From a Chinese medicine perspective, we work to nourish the Kidney essence and improve ovarian and uterine function. Many patients over 35 find acupuncture helps them feel more in control of their fertility journey.

Acupuncture can support both the emotional healing and physical recovery after loss. It can also help regulate cycles and support uterine health. You're not alone—and you're welcome to come exactly as you are.
