Acupuncture for Natural Conception
Acupuncture can improve fertility by regulating the menstrual cycle, increasing blood flow to the uterus, improving egg quality, sperm count/motility/morphology, reducing stress and balancing hormones. Acupuncture can also improve embryo implantation, and many studies have demonstrated increased success rates of IUI/IVF with adjunctive acupuncture treatments.
I combine acupuncture and naturopathic medicine to provide a holistic approach to fertility. I find that patients that utilize both naturopathy and Chinese medicine have a higher likelihood of conceiving.

When should I start Acupuncture for Natural Conception?
As soon as possible, I recommend weekly acupuncture for 6-8 weeks. I then time your acupuncture treatments around your menstrual cycle and ovulation. Once you are pregnant I recommend weekly-monthly acupuncture during your first trimester depending on your pregnancy.
