FERTILITY ACUPUNCTURE
Supporting Your Journey to Parenthood with Natural, Holistic Care
Whether you're just beginning to try or are already on a path with assisted reproductive technologies (like IUI or IVF), fertility acupuncture can be a powerful ally in your journey to conception.
At Blue Heron Acupuncture, we offer specialized acupuncture treatments designed to support reproductive health, balance hormones, reduce stress, and improve your body’s natural ability to conceive.
How Fertility Acupuncture Helps
Acupuncture is a time-tested practice that works in harmony with your body. Our fertility-focused treatments aim to:
Regulate menstrual cycles and ovulation
Enhance blood flow to the uterus and ovaries
Balance key reproductive hormones
Improve egg and sperm quality
Reduce stress and promote emotional well-being
Support IVF, IUI, and other fertility treatments
Each session is tailored to your unique needs, whether you’re trying to conceive naturally or working with a fertility clinic.
For Women - We have successfully supported patients with:
Luteal phase defect
Premature Ovarian Failure
Poor egg quality
Unexplained infertility
IVF/IUI support

We work closely with your menstrual cycle to optimize fertility at each stage, from follicular development to implantation.

Acupuncture & IVF: A Complementary Approach
Our clinic’s success rates for patients undergoing IVF are double those of IVF without acupuncture. Studies show that acupuncture performed before and after embryo transfer may increase IVF success rates by improving uterine receptivity and reducing stress. We work in sync with your IVF schedule to optimize timing and outcomes.
What to Expect
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation, where we review your reproductive history, cycle patterns, lifestyle, and overall health, and an acupuncture treatment. From there, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan, typically recommending weekly or bi-weekly sessions. We are happy to support patients with whatever frequency fits their schedule and needs.
Treatments are gentle and relaxing with appointments lasting about 60-75 minutes. Most clients find sessions calming — a welcome pause during a sometimes stressful fertility journey.

Fertility Acupuncture FAQs
How many acupuncture sessions will I need for fertility support?
Every body is different. Many people begin with weekly sessions for 2–3 months to regulate cycles, balance hormones, and prepare the body for conception. If you are doing IVF or IUI, treatments are often timed to support each stage of the process.
Can I do acupuncture while going through IVF or IUI?
Yes. Acupuncture is commonly used alongside assisted reproductive technologies. Research shows it may improve blood flow to the uterus, reduce stress, enhance egg quality, and support implantation. We’ll work with your fertility clinic’s timeline to coordinate care.
Does fertility acupuncture help with male fertility?
Absolutely. Acupuncture can improve sperm count, motility, and morphology, while also reducing stress and inflammation—important factors in conception. We recommend treatments for both partners when possible.
When should I start acupuncture if I’m trying to conceive?
It’s best to begin acupuncture at least 3 months before trying to conceive or starting fertility treatments. This allows time to regulate cycles, improve egg and sperm quality, and bring the body into balance. However, starting at any stage of your journey can still be beneficial.
Is acupuncture safe during pregnancy?
Yes, acupuncture is safe and recommended during pregnancy. In fact, it can support hormone levels and healthy circulation while also easing early pregnancy symptoms such as nausea, fatigue, anxiety and stress.
What does a fertility acupuncture session feel like?
Most people find treatments deeply relaxing. The needles are very thin and usually painless. Many patients even fall asleep during their sessions and leave feeling refreshed and calm.
