Frequently Asked Questions
How does acupuncture support fertility?
Fertility acupuncture focuses on supporting circulation, hormonal balance, and stress reduction, factors that matter for reproductive health. It is supportive care that works alongside, never instead of, medical fertility treatment.
Can acupuncture help during IVF?
Published research, including the frequently cited Paulus (2002) study, suggests acupuncture timed around embryo transfer may support IVF outcomes, and reviews since have explored this further. We coordinate treatment timing with your IVF calendar.
When should I start fertility acupuncture?
Many practitioners recommend beginning about three months before trying to conceive or starting an IVF cycle, since that window matches the natural maturation cycle of eggs and sperm. Starting later still allows for stress and cycle support.
Does acupuncture help male fertility?
Some studies suggest acupuncture may support sperm quality parameters such as motility and count. It is best used as part of a broader plan that includes medical evaluation of both partners.
