When to Begin Acupuncture for Fertility with or without IVF?

Ideally you would begin 3 – 4 months prior to conception/transfer so that we can help with egg quality, work on any cycle or lining irregularities, address any nutritional concerns, and help reduce stress. If you are going through IVF we are also working to prepare you for your transfer.

Most Important times to have Acupuncture:

• During the follicular phase – day 5, 6, 7 or 8 of your menstrual cycle (day 1 being the first day of heavy flow)

• The day before, day of or day after ovulation.

• This works out to be approximately once a week.

*First treatment includes a thorough intake, dietary suggestions, herbal consult if adding, and Modalities as needed.
