Benefits of Acupuncture for Fertility

Acupuncture has been shown to support fertility by:

  • Increasing blood flow to the pelvic region, improving the ovarian and uterine environment

  • Balancing hormones like oestrogen, progesterone, and testosterone

  • Reducing inflammation for better egg maturation and uterine receptivity

  • Promoting relaxation by switching your body out of "fight or flight" mode

Acupuncture for IVF

Preparing your body for IVF is a crucial step in enhancing your chances of success. Factors like stress, anxiety, and hormonal imbalances can significantly impact fertility, while conditions such as Endometriosis and PCOS may interfere with conception and implantation. At Embrace Acupuncture, we work with your fertility specialist’s plans and medications to enhance the outcomes. Acupuncture can complement IVF by offering the following benefits: 

  • Hormonal Balance: Acupuncture may help regulate reproductive hormones, ensuring an optimal environment for egg development and implantation.

  • Improved Blood Flow: It can help increase circulation to the uterus and ovaries, promoting follicular development and improving endometrial thickness, which supports embryo implantation.

  • Stress Relief: By stimulating the release of endorphins and oxytocin, acupuncture may reduce stress and anxiety, promoting relaxation during IVF treatments.

  • Improves Uterine and Ovarian Health: Increased blood flow to the reproductive organs encourages follicular development, endometrial thickness, and a more receptive uterine environment for implantation.

  • Support for Failed Cycles: For those who have experienced previous IVF failures, acupuncture can address potential barriers such as hormonal imbalances, poor egg or sperm quality, and implantation issues.

When is the Best Time to Start Fertility Acupuncture?

The ideal time to begin is 3–4 months before trying to conceive, as eggs and sperm take this time to mature. However, it’s never too late; natural fertility and IVF acupuncture can positively impact your uterine environment, even during your cycle or two-week wait.

If you’re preparing to conceive or, for now, just want to optimise your hormonal balance, we also offer treatments tailored for Women’s Health, including support for menstrual cycles and well-being. Big changes take time, so we recommend starting early for the best results.

Partner and Male Fertility Support

At Embrace Acupuncture, we address the full fertility picture, including partner and male fertility concerns. For men, our treatments focus on how to improve sperm quality, enhancing both count and motility. We combine Acupuncture and Chinese Herbs for fertility with measurable results to support your goals.

Fertility Acupuncture FAQ’s

  • Explore the unfolding experience of an Acupuncture session with us:

    Warm Welcome: Embark on your journey with a relaxed conversation guided by our knowledgeable Chinese Medicine Practitioner. They delve into your health history, goals, and any specific concerns you might have. Imagine it as reconnecting with a caring old friend genuinely invested in your well-being.

    Tailored Treatment: Following this discussion, your Chinese Medicine Practitioner tailors an exclusive treatment plan just for you. It's like having a skilled tailor fashion a bespoke suit, but in this case, it's crafted to enhance your health and vitality.

    Acupuncture Moment: Now, the intriguing part—the needles, affectionately referred to as pins. We delicately insert ultra-thin (0.2mm) sterile needles into specific Acupuncture points on your body. While the term "needles" may sound daunting, most individuals find the experience surprisingly serene. Some even find it so relaxing that they drift off to sleep during their sessions! You might feel a minor pinch, but rest assured, it's far from a scene out of a horror movie.

    Relaxation Break: Once the pins are in place, it's time to unwind. You'll recline peacefully for approximately 20 minutes. Many people discover this period to be incredibly calming—a moment of pure tranquility, like pressing the pause button on life's chaos, just for you.

    Continued Support: Acupuncture is a journey, not a one-time event. It typically involves a series of sessions. The frequency and duration of these sessions are thoughtfully determined by your Chinese Medicine Practitioner based on your unique needs and progress, ensuring you receive the most effective and personalised care.

  • Everyone is different in terms of where their health & fertility is at. Some women will fall pregnant very quickly and we then move to supporting them through their first trimester.
    Others need extra support to get them to the pregnancy stage.

    Please note that it takes at least 3 months for changes to eggs and sperm to come into effect. If you have issues here, you’ll need to allow time for your body to heal and fertility to improve.

    We work with measurable outcomes (tests, scans, charts) so you always know where you’re up to on your fertility journey and what the next steps are.
