Understanding Fertility and Acupuncture
Fertility is influenced by a complex network of hormonal, physical, and emotional factors. Acupuncture has been used for centuries to help address these systems holistically.
In TCM, fertility challenges are often viewed as imbalances in Qi (energy), blood flow, or organ function. Acupuncture helps stimulate specific points to:
Regulate the menstrual cycle
Support ovulation and follicle development
Reduce inflammation
Promote relaxation and reduce cortisol levels
Fertility acupuncture is suitable for individuals of all genders and orientations. Whether you’re working to improve egg or sperm quality—acupuncture supports the body in restoring balance and enhancing reproductive function.
Acupuncture for Infertility
Fertility struggles can affect anyone, and the causes are often multifactorial. Acupuncture may support individuals and couples experiencing:
Hormonal imbalances
Irregular or absent menstrual cycles
PCOS or endometriosis
Poor egg or sperm quality
Unexplained infertility
Stress-induced fertility challenges
Acupuncture is also frequently used to complement Western fertility treatments, offering emotional and physiological support at every stage. If you’re new to this topic, our blog post on how acupuncture helps with fertility may be a helpful resource.
Acupuncture Treatment for Infertility
Your fertility acupuncture journey at Strive Holistic begins with a comprehensive intake. We take the time to understand your full picture—cycle patterns, health history, lifestyle, and any past or ongoing fertility treatments.
Your customized plan may include precise needle placement at points that are traditionally used to:
Improve reproductive blood flow
Regulate the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian (HPO) axis
Balance estrogen, progesterone, and other hormones
Support follicle and sperm development
Encourage implantation
Your Registered Acupuncturist may also recommend herbal medicine, nutritional guidance, or other complementary supports aligned with your fertility goals.
Acupuncture and IVF
Acupuncture is often integrated into IVF protocols to support:
Ovarian response to stimulation
Endometrial lining receptivity
Relaxation before embryo transfer
Successful implantation and early pregnancy
Research shows that treatments timed around embryo transfer may improve outcomes. At Strive Holistic, we offer targeted acupuncture support at each stage of your IVF cycle.
Acupuncture for Conception
Whether you’re early in your journey or exploring new pathways to conception, acupuncture may support key reproductive functions such as:
Menstrual cycle regularity
Ovulation timing and egg quality
Endometrial lining development
Sperm count, motility, and morphology
Fertility isn’t just physical—it’s emotional, too. Acupuncture supports the nervous system, helping regulate stress, improve sleep, and support your emotional well-being throughout the process.
