Fertility Acupuncture

When used in conjunction with diet and lifestyle changes, acupuncture can be effective in helping women reach pregnancy.

Acupuncture calms the nervous system, helping to reduce stress, which is one of the main causes of infertility. It works to balance all systems in the body, including the endocrine system, which is responsible for producing the right amount of hormones needed for good health, and fertility.

Acupuncture is also commonly used in conjunction with other fertility treatments, such as IVF. Studies show that acupuncture may increase the effectiveness of IVF treatment by 40 - 60%.

It's best to start having weekly acupuncture sessions, at least 3 months before trying to conceive, or starting IVF. This will help to prepare the body. It takes around 3 months to produce good quality eggs. If this isn't possible, starting at any time in your journey can be beneficial.

I would strongly encourage you and your partner to have all of the relevant tests, to rule out any underlying issues.

There is no guarantee that acupuncture will help you get pregnant.
