Infertility

Acupuncture

Acupuncture improves circulatory function and hormonal balance. This is helpful for boosting the strength of your ovaries and helping the uterus to grow a thick lining for implantation.

Our fertility program is for you if:

  • You are struggling with getting pregnant

  • You’ve tried other types of reproductive therapy, including IUI, IVF or with miserable side effects and worsening hormonal symptoms or you’re in the process of undergoing these treatments and would like additional support.

  • You are serious and committed to treating underlying health issues and transforming for the sake of reclaiming your fertility.

Research shows Acupuncture improves fertility with IVF & IUI because it has been clinically shown to…

  • Improve blood flow to the uterus, which helps the lining grow strong and healthy enough to support an embryo.

  • Reduce and prevent cramping, a common occurrence after an IVF transfer. Cramping is very disruptive to conception, as it can prevent the embryo from implanting in the uterine wall.

  • Stimulate egg production, for women who can’t, or don’t want to use fertility medication to help them get pregnant.

  • Improve egg quality, for women with low AMH, fertility is even more challenging and that follicles being produced are of the best quality.

  • Regulate and stabilize hormone levels, which can be problematic from being on hormonal birth control and with PCOS, or low progesterone.

  • Reduce the chance of and help prevent miscarriage.

  • Reduce stress and promote deep relaxation, which are absolutely critical if you’re trying to get pregnant, especially if you’re undergoing any kind of traditional fertility treatment such as IVF or IUI.

  • Increase the quality of sperm in men, the concentration and motility

A study published in the Fertility and Sterility journal found that acupuncture dramatically improves the chances of becoming pregnant when used in conjunction with other assisted reproductive techniques (Paulus et al, April 2002).
