Fertility

Trying To start or Grow Your Family?

Regardless of where you find yourself on the fertility journey, we are here to provide you with support to optimize your success outcomes of getting pregnant. Acupuncture has been used successfully to increase fertility (both female and male) for centuries. We use our tested methods of acupuncture to both aid in conception, as well as reduce the likelihood of a miscarriage. Acupuncture can be used alongside your natural cycle or while you’re undergoing IUI or IVF. We work in cooperation with your fertility specialists to time our treatments around your assisted fertility plan.

 

During your first treatment, we will do a full intake to assess how all the systems of the body are functioning. With TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) we are striving to create balance in the body to find underlying causes that may be contributing to your fertility challenges. Once we have an assessment, a treatment plan will be customized to your specific case. Your plan may vary depending on whether you are trying to conceive with natural cycles or through assisted reproductive technology.

 

If you are trying to conceive naturally, acupuncture will ideally need to be performed at least once a week for three cycles. This will allow us enough time to make impactful changes to your cycle that optimize ovulation and the likelihood of implantation. If you are using either IUI or IVF our sessions are timed around the structure of those treatments.

 

How We Can Help

Regular acupuncture provides the following fertility benefits:

Increase Blood Flow

Increasing the blood flow to the uterus and ovaries is a pivotal part of priming the body to grow and release a follicle and encourage implantation.

stress

Reduce Stress

Many studies show that stress hinders fertility success rates. Acupuncture can put both your mind and body at ease by reducing cortisol levels.

pregnancy test

Decrease Miscarriage

Once you have a confirmed pregnancy, acupuncture treatments shift gears to help support your body to secure the pregnancy.

Balance Hormones

Acupuncture can help balance out pre-existing conditions, like PCOS or endometriosis, that may be contributing to fertility challenges.

Patient Success Stories

"I've seen Sarah for acupuncture to support my IVF journey with both of my children. Not only did we have successful transfers once I started acupuncture, but my mind and body felt so much better after getting regular treatments."
Julie K, Eden Prairie
"My diagnosis of PCOS was making it so hard to track my cycle in order to conceive. After a few months of acupuncture, my cycle had become regular enough to track when I was ovulating. 4 months later I was pregnant!"
Ashley W, Victoria
"Sarah has been so helpful and knowledgeable about regulating my cycle to help me get pregnant. I'm now 6 months pregnant with a baby girl and I've continued getting regular treatments to help with the nausea and fatigue. Don't wait any longer...just get acupuncture!"
Melissa R, Edina
