It is estimated that 1 in 6 couples will have trouble conceiving, and this number
may increase as couples are starting families later in life.  There are many
treatment options available to increase your chances, including acupuncture
and Chinese herbs.  By addressing each phase of the menstrual cycle, balancing
hormones, and treating specific fertility challenges, many women are able to
conceive naturally, even when this seemed out of reach.

If you are using ART (artificial reproductive technology), acupuncture can help
support your system by reducing stress and increasing blood flow to the ovaries
and uterus.  Please click on the IVF Support tab for more info.

Nutrition/Supplements can play a big role in improving your fertility.
For recommendations, please click here for women, or here for men.

Acupuncture/Herbs can help with the following fertility issues:
  • unexplained infertility
  • luteal phase defect
  • ovarian cysts/ PCOS
  • advanced maternal age
  • irregular cycles/ hormonal imbalances
  • recurrent miscarriage
  • fibroids/ endometriosis
  • poor egg quality/ high FSH levels
  • low sperm count
  • poor sperm morphology & motility

If you are interested in fertility treatments, please start monitoring your
morning temperatures. (download a BBT chart)  

Using a digital thermometer, record your temperature each morning before
getting out of bed, drinking water, etc. This information will help me diagnosis
your imbalances and also monitor your monthly progress.
