Frequently Asked Questions
How does acupuncture support fertility?
It helps regulate communication between your nervous and endocrine systems, improves blood flow to the reproductive organs, and reduces stress—all of which can impact fertility outcomes.
Can you support IVF or IUI treatment cycles?
Yes. We tailor treatments to match the timing of your fertility plan, including preparation for hormone therapy, retrieval, and embryo transfer.
When should I start acupuncture?
Ideally, 1–3 months before an IUI or IVF cycle. But even starting during treatment can be beneficial, especially around transfer.
How often should I come in?
We typically recommend weekly sessions at first. During critical phases of IVF or cycle tracking, we may suggest more frequent treatments.
How long does treatment take to be effective?
It varies. Some people see changes within a few weeks, but most benefit from 3 to 6 months of consistent care—especially when preparing for IVF or regulating cycles.

What to Expect
Your first visit includes a detailed intake and treatment plan focused on your specific needs and timeline. Depending on your goals, we may recommend once- or twice-weekly sessions, especially in the lead-up to embryo transfer or ovulation.
We often work in collaboration with reproductive endocrinologists and OB/GYNs.
