Nurturing your path to parenthood
Struggling to conceive can be an incredibly emotional and challenging experience. Seeing friends and family announce pregnancies while facing uncertainty yourself can feel overwhelming. The emotional ups and downs, the unpredictability of outcomes, and the weight of important decisions—like how long to keep trying or when to explore medical options—can take a toll on both body and mind.
Fertility Acupuncture
Caring for yourself during this time is essential. Finding the right support, managing emotions, and maintaining a positive outlook can make a significant difference in your well-being.
With years of experience, our role is to guide and support you through this journey, helping you navigate its challenges with care and understanding. Through acupuncture, lifestyle adjustments, and personalised advice, you can give yourself the best possible chance of conceiving—whether naturally or through IVF.
Do you recognise any of these symptoms that may have started or worsened since trying to conceive?
Low energy (especially at certain times in your cycle)
Headaches
Irritability (feeling overwhelmed or snapping at others, particularly after pregnancy announcements)
Insomnia
Intense sadness
Difficulty concentrating
Acupuncture works to restore balance, regulate hormones, and support your body’s natural fertility—helping you feel better physically and emotionally while improving your chances of conception.
Acupuncture on the day of embryo transfer
There is more written and research papers about acupuncture on the day of embryo transfer than any other aspect of it’s use alongside IVF. Repeated studies have shown that acupuncture before and after on the day of the embryo transfer can be highly effective in increasing pregnancy rates.
Male Fertility
Sperm quality has been correlated with more than simply fertilisation rates, but with factors such as development of the fertilised egg, implantation and perhaps more importantly, the development of the embryo itself.
Occurrences like miscarriages could have more to do with sperm quality than we imagined, and treatments that focus solely on the woman may indeed miss the mark. If you are considering a pre-conception programme, or if infertility is unexplained, the aim is to maximise sperm and egg quality.
Several factors may be responsible for declining male fertility including;
Low Sperm Count
Abnormal Sperm Size and Shape
Reduced Motility
I understand that for men the emotional impact can be huge and the tendency to “keep it to yourself” can often be the norm.I try to break down some of the concerns or fears you may have and very quickly together we will work out a plan that helps to give you the best possible chance of improving your sperm parameters and give you the sense that you are doing something about it.
I use points in the abdomen and leg which help to increase blood flow through the small blood vessels of the testes, improving delivery of nutrients to developing sperm and promoting optimal sperm vitality.
I use other points to reduce stress – a big factor in sub fertility issues.There is a clear link to male fertility with both nutritional and lifestyle issues. Part of my comprehensive approach includes making suitable dietary recommendations in order to support and maximise our impact upon poor sperm parameters. Often a sensible, planned and individual approach, plus some persistence, helps to address many of the factors linked to reproduction.
It takes around 90 days to create new sperm, so positive effects from acupuncture sessions as well as from nutritional and lifestyle changes are maximised after this period. Follow up testing by semen analysis is recommended as a way to demonstrate the positive changes made from healthy choices.
