Women’s fertility
Fertility can be a sensitive and sometimes overwhelming experience, and it can feel different for everyone. Whether you are just starting to think about trying for a baby or you’ve been on this path for a while, I can help.
Acupuncture is often used by women who are trying to conceive, whether naturally or with medical support. I create a treatment plan based on your personal health history and current situation.
Some women come to me as part of their pre-conception planning, allowing time to focus on their health in the lead-up to trying for a baby. This can include a course of acupuncture over a few months, alongside any appropriate changes to diet and lifestyle. For others, trying for a family has been more complex. I offer a calm, supportive space where we can take things step by step.
I work with women who are trying to conceive naturally, those who have experienced miscarriage, and those going through assisted conception, such as IVF or ICSI. During this time, treatment focuses on your cycle as well as your overall well-being, helping you feel as prepared as possible physically and emotionally, while working alongside any medical care you’re receiving. I can also offer treatment around the time of embryo transfer.
I often see and treat both partners whilst they are trying for a baby. A personalised course of acupuncture, along with simple changes to diet and lifestyle where appropriate, can all play a part in supporting fertility. There is also a growing body of clinical research looking at acupuncture and male fertility. If you’d like to explore this further, I’m very happy to point you towards information that feels relevant to you. If you’re unsure whether this could be helpful, do get in touch, and we can talk it through. All sessions remain strictly confidential.
