Acupuncture and IVF at Sage Wellness Center: Natural Support for Your Fertility Journey

Undergoing IVF or IUI can be both emotionally and physically challenging. Many couples seek complementary therapies to improve their chances of conception, and Acupuncture and IVF has become a trusted, natural approach. At Sage Wellness, we combine Fertility Acupuncture, Chinese Herbal Medicine, and personalized lifestyle guidance to support women and couples through every stage of assisted reproductive treatment.

Research suggests that acupuncture may enhance IVF outcomes by improving blood flow, supporting hormonal balance, and reducing stress. This holistic approach can be particularly beneficial for women focusing on reproductive wellness, including those interested in Optimizing Egg Quality After 35.

How Does Acupuncture Support IVF Success?

Acupuncture and IVF is designed to prepare the body, support treatment, and encourage favorable outcomes. It works by improving uterine and ovarian blood flow, reducing stress, supporting hormonal balance, and helping create a more receptive reproductive environment.

Pre-IVF Preparation

The ideal time to begin Fertility Acupuncture is 23 months before an IVF cycle. Early treatment may help:

• Support reproductive system balance
  
  

• Enhance uterine lining health
  
  

• Support follicular development and egg quality
  
  

• Reduce stress surrounding fertility treatment
  
  

During the Follicular-Stimulation Stage

As fertility medications encourage follicle growth, acupuncture supports this phase by helping to:

• Promote healthy follicular development
  
  

• Enhance ovarian circulation
  
  

• Support egg quality
  
  

During Egg Retrieval

Before retrieval, acupuncture may help:

• Improve ovarian blood flow
  
  

• Support internal balance (including addressing stagnation patterns in TCM)
  
  

• Encourage better fertilization potential
  
  

During Embryo Transfer

This stage can be stressful. Acupuncture sessions before and after transfer may help:

• Relax the body and calm the nervous system
  
  

• Improve uterine blood flow
  
  

• Reduce uterine spasms post-transfer
  
  

• Support implantation comfort
  
  

Additional Benefits of Acupuncture During IVF

Stress Reduction and Emotional Support

Stress and anxiety can affect IVF outcomes. Acupuncture activates the parasympathetic nervous system, supports cortisol balance, and promotes relaxation.

Hormonal Support

Acupuncture supports the HPO axis, contributing to hormonal balance important for ovulation, egg development, and implantation.

Integration with Herbal Medicine

At Sage Wellness, acupuncture is often supported with customized Chinese Herbal Medicine formulas designed to:

• Nourish blood and kidney essence
  
  

• Support menstrual balance
  
  

• Help inflammation regulation
  
  

• Support both male and female fertility wellness
