Does acupuncture actually work for fertility?
Acupuncture is commonly used to support fertility by helping regulate cycles, improve blood flow to the reproductive organs, and reduce stress.
Many patients use it alongside conventional fertility treatment or while trying to conceive naturally.
When is the best time to start acupuncture for fertility?
Ideally, acupuncture begins 2–3 months before actively trying to conceive. This allows time to support cycle regulation and overall hormonal balance.
That said, it can be started at any point in your journey.
How often should I get acupuncture when trying to conceive?
Frequency depends on your individual cycle and history. Many patients begin with weekly sessions and adjust based on response and timing.
During IVF or IUI cycles, timing is coordinated carefully.
How many acupuncture sessions are needed to improve fertility?
There is no fixed number. Some people notice cycle changes within a few months. Others benefit from ongoing support, especially if navigating complex fertility factors.
We outline a realistic plan after your initial consultation.
Can acupuncture improve egg quality?
Acupuncture focuses on supporting circulation, stress regulation, and overall hormonal balance — all of which play a role in reproductive health.
It is supportive care, not a standalone solution.
Should I get acupuncture during IVF?
Many fertility clinics recommend acupuncture before and after embryo transfer. It can also be used throughout stimulation cycles to support regulation and reduce stress.
We coordinate timing thoughtfully.
Can acupuncture help with PCOS?
Yes. Acupuncture is often used to support cycle regularity and hormonal patterns associated with PCOS.
Can acupuncture help with unexplained infertility?
When no clear cause is identified, supporting overall regulation — stress, circulation, hormonal rhythm — can be a helpful place to focus.
Are there risks to acupuncture while trying to conceive?
Acupuncture is generally safe when performed by a licensed practitioner trained in fertility care. Treatment approaches are adjusted depending on where you are in your cycle.
