Acupuncture
Regular treatments help regulate your cycle, improve blood flow to the ovaries and uterus, and calm the nervous system — all of which matter whether you're conceiving naturally or supporting an assisted cycle. Acupuncture around egg retrieval and embryo transfer is one of the most well-researched ways to support your protocol.
Chinese Herbal Medicine
Where appropriate, herbal formulas are used to support fertiltiy hormone balance. Different formulas are given depending upon where you need support. We want: -healthy periods with 4-5 days flow, minimal cramping or clots -optimal follicular phase to prepare uterine lining -clear ovulation with cervical mucous, libido and BBT rise -improved egg quality -optimal luteal phase with BBT rise and hold until just before the period -minimal PMS If you are working with a fertility clinic for IUI, IVF or egg freezing, herbal medicine is always coordinated around your clinic's protocol.
Mind-Body Care
Fertility isn't only physical. Acupuncture sessions are a space to exhale — to process the waiting, the hope, the disappointment, and everything in between — so you can feel steady and supported.
