Which services will help me?
Generally working on Fertility involves Acupuncture treatments and for many cases involves adding on Chinese Herbal Medicine.
What will treatment look like?
Due to the logistics of getting and staying pregnant, holistic fertility support is a commitment.
For women who have an inability to get pregnant, they need to commit to coming to acupuncture 1x/week for at least 4-5 months on average before expecting a successful pregnancy. A way to think about this is that we are preparing your body to house a pregnancy. It can take some time to get the house in order.
For women with a history of miscarriage, we recommend committing to not trying to get pregnant while we prepare your body for 2-3 months and then coming to acupuncture 1-2 x/week during the first trimester to help sustain your pregnancy.
These are general guidelines, when you make your initial appointment we will review the specifics of your situation and come up with a treatment protocol that is right for you.
