Fertility Support

Acupuncture for Fertility Support

Acupuncture for fertility support can help those trying to conceive naturally and those who are undergoing assisted conception treatments such as IUI or IVF.

Acupuncture can have a normalising effect on the reproductive hormones and can help rebalance your cycle in the following ways:

a regular cycle, between 28 to 30 day cycle: when in good health there will be no premenstrual symptoms
improve cervical mucus to aid the sperm to swim into the fallopian tubes
regulate ovulation
encourage a healthy menstrual bleed (which reflects the quality of the uterine lining) The blood should be bright red, not contain clots or be mucusy, not be too light or flood

Preconception Care

An important note to consider is that it takes three months for both egg cells to mature and for sperm cells to develop. This means that the three months prior to conception are very important.

If you are able, use those three months wisely – optimise your nutrition, try to reduce stress levels, improve blood flow with appropriate exercise, if you are an “over-exerciser” you may need to cut back, take the right supplements and schedule some acupuncture!

Here’s how fertility acupuncture can help:

fertility acupuncture regulates the hormone system
treatments help to direct blood flow to the reproductive organs
improve egg quality
improve uterine lining
improve success rates of IVF
acupuncture can help with the undoubted stress of trying to conceive; it has been shown that acupuncture increases levels of endorphins and serotonin

Many things can seem to be out of your control when you are trying to conceive and it is an understandably frustrating time when things do not go as planned or as envisaged. But there are some things that are in your control and, importantly, are actionable and achievable for all (well, maybe a bit of willpower will be required!)
