Oahu Acupuncture will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to each patient’s unique fertility journey. In this page, we will learn more about acupuncture supporting fertility treatments like IVF and how it helps women’s health.
How Acupuncture Works for Fertility
Acupuncture may potentially improve your fertility in several ways:
BALANCES HORMONES
Acupuncture supports the endocrine system, which plays a key role in regulating hormones involved in ovulation, menstruation, and pregnancy. By helping to balance hormones like estrogen, progesterone, FSH, and LH, acupuncture may enhance your body’s readiness for fertility treatments.
INCREASES BLOOD FLOW
Acupuncture promotes increased blood flow to the reproductive organs, particularly the uterus and ovaries. This enhanced circulation may support healthier egg development and improve the thickness and receptivity of the uterine lining. Well-nourished reproductive organs can boost your chances of conception and a healthy pregnancy.
REDUCES STRESS
Stress can interfere with hormonal balance, disrupt ovulation, and reduce libido. Acupuncture has been shown to help relieve stress by encouraging the release of endorphins. It also helps calm the nervous system and lower blood pressure, supporting overall well-being and creating a healthier environment for fertility.
How Acupuncture Complements With Your IVF Journey
Whether you're trying to conceive naturally or using assisted reproductive technologies (ART) like IVF, acupuncture can be a supportive addition to your fertility journey. Here are some of the ways it can complement your treatment plan:
ENHANCES IVF OUTCOME
Research suggests that receiving acupuncture before and after embryo transfer may help improve pregnancy rates in IVF patients. This benefit may stem from acupuncture’s ability to enhance blood flow to the uterus, relax uterine muscles, and reduce stress and anxiety. It may also help ease common side effects of IVF medications, including bloating, nausea, headaches, and mood swings.
SUPPORTS OVERALL WELLNESS
Acupuncture can also support your fertility by addressing underlying health issues like insomnia, digestive disorders, allergies, or chronic pain. By enhancing sleep, digestion, immune function, and pain management, acupuncture helps you feel more balanced, comfortable, and energized throughout your fertility journey.
PROMOTES EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING
The journey to conception can be emotionally demanding, often bringing feelings of frustration, sadness, anger, or guilt. Acupuncture offers a supportive and nurturing space where you can process these emotions while receiving compassionate care. It also encourages a more positive, hopeful mindset, helping to strengthen your confidence and emotional resilience.
When is the Best Time to Get Acupuncture for Fertility?
Acupuncture can be beneficial at any point in your fertility journey, but we recommend beginning as early as possible, as its effects tend to build over time. We work with individuals trying to conceive naturally, as well as those using advanced fertility treatments to achieve their family-building goals.
Acupuncture supports fertility by calming the nervous system and reducing stress and anxiety, making it a valuable tool at any stage—even during diagnostic testing or while exploring your treatment options.
