Fertility Acupuncture & IVF Support in NYC
IVF-Focused Acupuncture Care
We provide focused, evidence-informed acupuncture support for patients undergoing IVF treatment in NYC. Care is aligned with key milestones such as ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval and embryo transfer, and adjusted as your treatment progresses.
Our clinic is located in Long Island City, Queens, and serves patients throughout New York City, including Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens.
Acupuncture Timed to Key IVF Phases
During Ovarian Stimulation
During stimulation, the body is exposed to increased hormonal demand and physiological stress. Acupuncture sessions are timed to support circulation, regulate stress response, and help the body adapt to medication protocols throughout this phase.
Before & After Egg Retrieval
Egg retrieval is a short but physically demanding procedure. Treatment during this stage focuses on supporting pelvic circulation, reducing muscular tension, and promoting post-procedural recovery.
Before & After Embryo Transfer
Around embryo transfer, acupuncture is timed to support nervous system regulation and pelvic blood flow during implantation. Sessions are adjusted based on transfer timing and individual response.
How Acupuncture Supports IVF & Fertility Treatment
Research suggests acupuncture may support fertility care by:
Improving blood flow to the uterus and ovaries
Supporting endometrial development
Regulating stress-related nervous system activation
Supporting sperm parameters in male factor infertility
Complementing IVF and IUI treatment protocols
These effects are intended to complement your existing fertility treatment plan and support physiological stability throughout the IVF process.
IUI & Broader Fertility Support
While many of our patients are undergoing IVF, we also support individuals pursuing IUI cycles or managing medically diagnosed fertility challenges such as PCOS, irregular cycles, diminished ovarian reserve, or male factor infertility. Treatment plans are individualized according to cycle phase and clinical context.

Patient Experiences with Fertility & IVF Support
"Bo was instrumental in my fertility journey including rounds of IVF through the time I gave birth to my twins. I especially appreciated how she targeted her treatment visit by visit based on what I needed that visit." — Talia M.
"She even went above and beyond and made herself available on the day of the embryo transfer for a visit even though she was off that day. Simply because she cares deeply about her clients and believes in the power of her work." — Dayna B.
"About 4 months in to my treatment at LIC Acupuncture with Bo, specifically focusing on fertility and IVF assistance I had a successful transfer and am now 8 months pregnant. I truly give credit to Bo and her work." — Ariana P.
"I always go to Bo and she's been so warm and inviting through my entire fertility process with my second. I've referred so many people to her for various reasons, from allergies to injuries, and everyone sings her praises." — Claire A.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does acupuncture support fertility?
Acupuncture may influence nervous system regulation, reproductive blood flow, and hormonal signaling—factors that 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 IVF or IUI cycle. Starting during treatment may still provide benefit, particularly around key cycle phases.
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.
