Infertility

Acupuncture

First Steps

This section is for those at the beginning of their fertility journey, it may be your first intervention as you look for ways to boost your chances of getting pregnant. You may have been trying in your first year and it just hasn’t happened yet, this is the section for you, how can we help?

Initial Consultation

After a consultation we will look at how we can improve your natural fertility. The female menstrual cycle is very important and we will look at how we can regulate it so planning will be easier to do. Acupuncture is excellent for regulating the cycle.


Our consultation will also help us to diagnose any male factors that may be the cause, acupuncture helps with blockages as well as improving sperm numbers, motility and viscosity.


The consultation will also enable us to identify any other factors that may be affecting your chances. We will advise on lifestyle changes such as diet, exercise and rest as well as management of stress and anxiety.

Additional Support

We also advise on your next steps, what other help is out there. What are the tests and investigations you can ask for and when to ask for them. We offer the important hormone blood and tests needed for fertility or can advise where to get them and if available on the NHS.


With over a decade of experience we can share with you all the right options available that you can choose from outside of the acupuncture treatment. This can be important such as getting the right blood tests on the right days, what to ask for etc. You may wish to just see how you get on with acupuncture alone before venturing out to get tests done, thats absolutely fine. We will increase your chances through consultation, diagnosis and your tailor made treatment plan.

Unexplained

This section is for those who have undergone some investigations for their fertility but have been given an unexplained diagnosis. This can be a very frustrating place to be as it becomes difficult to know what to do to improve your chances.


The good news is that with acupuncture we use a system of healthcare that looks for different markers and signs than western medicine. This means that when we do a consultation we look for different things in your health. The monthly cycle is investigated thoroughly as well as all previous tests that have been done. We do a thorough health assessment of both partners and natural health will improve as well as your fertility.


This means that often we see signs that can be improved immediately that can be the breakthrough to getting pregnant. We can also advise on what other tests you can go for as well as lifestyle changes in diet, exercise and rest.


We advise you on how to approach western medical practitioners on getting the best care and the right tests. We also offer all fertility blood tests here.

Diagnosed

This section is for those who have been given a specific diagnosis that may be hindering your chances of having a baby. You will see on our Fertility page that acupuncture treats many of the conditions that can affect fertility.

Holistic Health and Fertility Assessment

We will do a detailed investigation at your consultation to look at your health holistically with a specific focus on your fertility and diagnosis. We will go through your tests that you’ve had and how that is interpreted through Chinese Medicine diagnosis. Then we will set up a treatment plan for you involving acupuncture, diet and lifestyle changes.

Guidance on Fertility Clinics and Next Steps

We can also advise you on next steps. Especially if you are considering Fertility clinics. We have years of experience with our patients seeking the different clinics out there and draw from their experiences on guiding couples to make the right choice.

We are close to all the major IVF clinics and can show you all the options out there for you to choose and the resources you can draw on.

IVF

This section is for those who are about to or are already going for Assisted Reproductive Techniques (ART) such as IVF, IUI, ICSI IMSI, FET.

Acupuncture's Role in Fertility Treatment Success

With years of experience treating couples undergoing treatment, we know from research that acupuncture can improve your chances of success. Most fertility clinics now acknowledge this and are recommending acupuncture to their patients. We use modern, research-based protocols and treat through all the stages of treatment, with specific focus on key days, such as transfer day.

Benefits and Additional Support

Acupuncture enhances the effects of fertility drugs, eliminates side effects, and improves egg quality by increasing blood flow, which also helps with creating a rich, healthy lining. It significantly reduces stress and helps relax both the person and the body, aiding embryo retention after transfer.

With our experience, we can also offer support in other areas, such as support groups and mentors outside of the fertility clinics if needed.
