preparing for conception

Acupuncture works by improving circulation, regulating hormones, and reducing stress. For those undergoing fertility treatments, research shows that acupuncture can improve outcomes by enhancing blood flow to reproductive organs, supporting a receptive uterine environment, and improving sperm health.
For patients undergoing IVF, receiving acupuncture both before and after embryo transfer has been shown to increase the chance of a successful outcome by up to 65%. This targeted timing supports implantation, reduces uterine contractions, and helps your body enter a more relaxed, receptive state for conception.
Chinese medicine considers fertility a reflection of abundant overall health and well-being. By improving sleep, digestion, and emotional balance, we help your body function at its best when you are trying to conceive.
