Fertility and Acupuncture

Maybe you just got off the pill, have been “seeing what happens” or you just suffered a miscarriage.

 

Sometimes you have a surprise pregnancy with #1 and "unexplained secondary infertility" with #2.  

 

Or you already had 3 IUI’s and next week is your egg retrieval for IVF. Discover how acupuncture and pregnancy and even acupuncture and IVF can work for you!

 

​

Where ever you are in your fertility journey, we will design a comprehensive program just for you!

​

We have combined modern research using Functional Medicine and

ancient Chinese medicine to create your successful fertility plan.

 

​

​

Acupuncture has been proven to:

​

• Improve the function of the ovaries to produce better quality eggs.

• Regulate hormones to produce larger numbers of follicles.

• Increase blood flow to the uterus and ovaries thereby increasing both ovarian sensitivity to gonadotropins and the uterine lining for implantation.

• Relax the patient to induce parasympathetic nervous system dominance.

• Lessen many of the unwanted side-effects of ART treatment.

• Mitigate the downstream effects of IVF stimulation in the uterine environment to enhance implantation and ongoing pregnancy rates.

• Decrease miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy rates.

• Improve semen densities in male factor infertility

• Enhance conception in ART cycles: IUI, IVF, FET, Surrogacy.

• Promote a healthy ongoing pregnancy without complications, and a healthy postpartum period.
