Acupuncture for Fertility
How fertility impacts pregnancy
Fertility struggles can make early pregnancy feel full of worry. If you’ve had trouble getting pregnant, miscarriages, irregular cycles, hormone issues, or fertility treatments, it’s normal to feel anxious and watch every change closely.
Physical concerns—like past ovarian or uterine problems, low ovarian reserve, scar tissue, or hormonal imbalances—can raise the chance of complications such as early loss, placental issues, or preterm birth.
Emotionally, hope and excitement often sit next to fear and grief from earlier losses, and you may crave extra reassurance and careful monitoring.
For people who’ve faced infertility, the journey from trying to conceive to carrying a baby is rarely simple. You may feel uncertain and very sensitive to symptoms.
Because everyone’s story is different, care that looks at your reproductive history, supports hormone balance and uterine health, and helps manage stress and immune factors can both improve the chances of a healthy pregnancy and ease the emotional load along the way.
How acupuncture can help
Acupuncture is a gentle, individualized therapy that can support fertility and a healthier pregnancy by:
Regulating menstrual cycles, improving ovulation, and supporting hormonal balance.
Increasing pelvic and uterine blood flow to improve endometrial receptivity.
Reducing stress and rebalancing the nervous system to lower stress hormones and support ovulation.
Decreasing inflammation and easing pelvic tissue tension to aid recovery and reproductive function.
Easing symptoms that affect fertility efforts—better sleep, more energy, improved mood, and less menstrual pain.
Research supports acupuncture as a helpful adjunct to fertility care and assisted reproductive technologies. It works best alongside medical treatment and lifestyle measures (nutrition, movement, sleep).
Treatment is personalized—plans vary for preconception, timing around ovulation or embryo transfer, and pregnancy maintenance. Initial visits review goals, history, and current care to tailor session timing and frequency.
