Acupuncture can help at every stage of your fertility journey, whether you’re TTC naturally or during an IVF cycle, regulating cycles, improving blood flow to the uterus and ovaries, reducing stress, and supporting implantation.

Acupuncture works by stimulating nerve endings deep below the surface of the skin which encourages the body’s release of endorphins, neurotransmitters and other hormones and chemicals.

These biochemical changes stimulate the body's natural healing abilities and promotes physical and emotional well-being. This can have positive effects on everything from pain and inflammation to stress and helps to regulate the endocrine system.

Fine needles are inserted at certain points on the body’s meridians -chosen by the practitioner according to the imbalance of the body. Once the needles are in, most patients feel a sense of deep relaxation.

“Acupuncture can significantly improve CPR (Clinical Pregnancy Rate) and LBR (Live Birth Rate) among women undergoing IVF.
