What Naturopathic Fertility Support Can Look Like

 

Uncovering the root cause of why you’re not getting pregnant or experiencing pregnancy loss.

Identifying any conception roadblocks like hormonal issues or nutritional deficiencies.

Promoting reproductive health of everyone and everything involved to support fertility (I’m talking about the womb, egg, and sperm).

How fertility acupuncture works with IVF

  • In the down-regulation phase, acupuncture can help recruit more follicles, decrease feelings of stress, and alleviate any side effects brought on by medication

  • In the stimulation phase, acupuncture may help improve your ovary’s response to the medication. In addition, it may also help improve and thicken your endometrial lining.

  • After the trigger shot, acupuncture aids with egg maturation, allowing more mature eggs may be retrieved.

  • During the embryo transfer, acupuncture may help increase the success rates of IVF.

  • And lastly, as you enter the “two-week wait”, acupuncture may help decrease stress levels as well reduce miscarriage risk.
