Acupuncture for Fertility

​

Navigating the path to conception can feel overwhelming, whether you're trying naturally or through assisted reproductive techniques like IVF. Specialised fertility acupuncture supports you on this journey by restoring balance to the body and addressing the underlying causes of fertility challenges.

Fertility acupuncture has been used for thousands of years to support reproductive health. Today, it helps regulate hormone production, enhance blood flow to the uterus and ovaries, improve sperm quality, and reduce stress—all crucial for conception. Whether you're preparing for pregnancy, facing unexplained infertility, or managing conditions like PCOS or endometriosis, treatments are tailored to your individual needs.

​

• You’re trying to conceive but feel something isn’t quite right

• You’re interested in acupuncture as a natural alternative before trying IVF

​

How does Acupuncture for Fertility work?

Acupuncture stimulates the nervous system to send signals to the reproductive organs, supporting hormone regulation, promoting blood flow to the uterus and ovaries, and improving egg quality and endometrial lining. It also improves sperm quality and reduces stress hormones like cortisol, which can negatively impact fertility. The deeply relaxing treatments help your body create an ideal environment for conception.

Why is Acupuncture for Fertility effective?

Many fertility clinics recommend acupuncture alongside conventional treatments due to the evidence supporting improved pregnancy outcomes. Acupuncture complements IVF and other reproductive technologies by managing side effects, promoting follicle production, and supporting embryo implantation.

​

When should you start Acupuncture for Fertility?

It’s best to begin acupuncture three months before you're ready to conceive or start IVF. It takes approximately 90 days for eggs to mature and 60 days for sperm to reach full maturity. Consistent acupuncture treatments during this time optimise the conditions for conception.

​

What to expect in a Fertility Consultation?

Your initial consultation is thorough and personalised. Together, we’ll review your medical history, reproductive health, stress levels, and any fertility treatments or tests you've already undergone. Based on this, an individualised acupuncture plan will be developed to address imbalances in your body. Sessions also provide a calming space for you to relax and de-stress.

The aim is to support your fertility journey with compassionate care and expert treatment every step of the way.
