Comprehensive Fertility Support

---

Becoming a parent is a wonderful calling. When difficulty arises, individuals often internalize the monumental task of seeking solutions. Our goal is your success, along with improved management of physical, mental, and emotional stress. 

Our approach combines our extensive experience with Chinese medicine and Functional medicine. Whether you can come in for acupuncture and consults in person, or need Telehealth consults from a distance, we support you throughout your journey. 

We provide a comprehensive fertility assessment for you by getting a detailed health history, reviewing lab tests and imaging, creating a customized treatment plan, and supporting you every step of the way. Our fertility services include acupuncture, cupping, moxa, and herbal medicine, functional lab testing, and a targeted nutrition plan prior to conception. Your body and mind will begin to shift, heal, and become more receptive to new life as soon as treatment begins. We will continue supporting you through pregnancy and beyond.

Chinese medicine has an extensive documented and anecdotal history of helping women and men with the conditions inhibiting pregnancy. We work with couples who are trying to conceive through various approaches: naturally, with fertility medications, Intra-Uterine Insemination (IUI), and with In Vitro Fertilization (IVF).  Studies have also shown that having acupuncture with fertility procedures can increase success rates. We can also help with referrals for reproductive endocrinology and male fertility diagnostic testing.

In a perfect world, the ideal time to improve your and your partner's fertility is in the 100 days before conception occurs, whether you hope to conceive naturally or with assisted reproductive therapies. When your body is brought into a better state of balance, even if chronic conditions persist, you have a greater chance of having a healthy pregnancy and child. 

It is our clinical experience that our services are beneficial for:

• Unexplained infertility, advanced maternal age, diminished ovarian reserve, male factor infertility, luteal phase defect, non-ovulating cycles, premature ovarian failure, PCOS, fibroids, thin endometrium, endometriosis, elevated FSH, low AMH, reproductive immunology challenges, absent or irregular menses, repeated miscarriage, unsuccessful IVF cycles, and implantation failure
• We order fertility blood testing to assess your reproductive status
• We refer out to reproductive endocrinologists for IUI and IVF
• When you have already seen an OBGYN doctor, Reproductive Endocrinologist, or Urologist and want to add acupuncture, supplements, nutrition, and herbs
• When your man also needs fertility treatment
• Increased uterine blood flow and improved uterine lining
• Reduced uterine spasms after IVF embryo transfer
• Numerous studies show increased success rate when acupuncture and herbs are done in preparation for and immediately after IUI and IVF. For IVF, acupuncture is recommended either the day before embryo transfer, the day of transfer, or within one day post transfer. For IUI acupuncture is recommended either the day before or day of and the day after IUI
