Our fertility acupuncture treatments are designed to support you throughout all phases of your cycle—whether that’s regulating your follicular phase, supporting ovulation, or enhancing luteal phase stability. For patients undergoing IVF or IUI, we time sessions to align with medication protocols and procedures like egg retrieval or embryo transfer. Treatments are adapted each session to match your body’s shifting needs, so you receive care that evolves with your fertility plan. Acupuncture plays a key role in supporting hormonal balance, reducing stress, and optimizing uterine receptivity. It works by regulating the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, increasing blood circulation to the ovaries and uterus, and improving the quality of the endometrial lining. Whether you’re working to conceive naturally, managing irregular cycles, or preparing for assisted reproductive treatments, our care is focused on helping your body function at its best.
We recognize the importance of male reproductive health in the fertility journey. For couples facing male factor infertility—such as low sperm count, reduced motility, or hormone imbalances—acupuncture may help improve semen quality and reproductive hormone regulation. Studies suggest that consistent acupuncture can enhance sperm production, reduce oxidative stress, and improve testicular blood flow.
Fertility acupuncture uses specific point stimulation to regulate the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, improve blood flow to the uterus and ovaries, and reduce cortisol levels, supporting hormonal balance and implantation.
Ideally, treatments begin 8–12 weeks before conception attempts or IVF cycles to influence follicular development, improve endometrial thickness, and modulate stress responses critical for fertility.
Yes. Research shows acupuncture before and after embryo transfer may improve implatation rates by enhancing uterine receptivity, reducing uterine contractions, and optimizing blood flow during critical implantation windows.
Yes. In women, it improves ovulation and uterine health; in men, it may enhance sperm concentration, motility, and morphology by reducing oxidative stress and regulating reproductive hormones.
For optimal results, we recommend that male partners begin acupuncture at least 8 to 12 weeks before planned conception or sperm retrieval. This window aligns with the full cycle of sperm development and allows time to influence count, motility, morphology, and DNA quality.
Side effects are rare but may include minor bruising, lightheadedness, or emotional release. Treatments are designed to be gentle and align with natural hormonal cycles.
