Natural Fertility Acupuncture: Preconception & Egg Freezing Support
You don’t need a diagnosis to start taking care of your fertility. Whether you’re planning to conceive naturally, exploring egg freezing, or just want to optimize your hormonal health, preconception care can make a meaningful difference and is a powerful way to support your body before pregnancy begins.
Why Preconception Acupuncture Matters
Starting acupuncture in the months before conception gives your body the time and support it needs to prepare for pregnancy naturally and sustainably. Research shows that preconception care can significantly improve fertility outcomes and reduce the risk of complications later on.
Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine can help:
✧ Regulate hormones like FSH, LH, estrogen, and progesterone
✧ Improve blood flow to the ovaries and uterus
✧ Support healthy ovulation and menstrual regularity
✧ Calm the nervous system and improve sleep quality
✧ Address subtle imbalances that can interfere with conception later on
We typically recommend starting treatment 3-6 months before trying to conceive or starting an egg freezing cycle, but it’s never too early (or too late) to begin supporting your fertility.

Acupuncture for Egg Freezing Preparation
If you’re planning to freeze your eggs, acupuncture offers a natural, supportive way to prepare your body. The quality and quantity of eggs retrieved during a stimulation cycle can be influenced by hormonal regulation, ovarian blood flow, and stress physiology, which acupuncture can support by:
Enhancing ovarian blood flow to support follicle development
Regulating the HPO axis for balanced hormone response
Promoting menstrual cycle regularity
Reducing stress by activating the parasympathetic nervous system
We recommend beginning acupuncture 8-12 weeks before your retrieval for best results. Treatment is tailored to your cycle history, constitution, and fertility timeline, and we’re happy to coordinate with your care team.

Frequently Asked Questions About Natural Fertility Acupuncture
How is natural fertility acupuncture different from infertility treatment?
Natural fertility acupuncture is designed for women without a diagnosis of infertility. It’s focused on optimizing your overall reproductive health and preparing your body for conception before challenges arise.
Can acupuncture help with egg freezing?
Yes. Acupuncture can enhance ovarian response, improve blood flow to developing follicles, and reduce the stress that can impact hormone levels and cycle timing.
When should I start acupuncture before trying to conceive?
Ideally, begin 3 months before trying. This gives time to influence egg development, improve uterine lining, regulate hormones, and address imbalances.
Do I need herbal medicine too?
In many cases, yes. Herbal formulas are tailored to support reproductive health, promote cycle regularity, and amplify the effects of acupuncture.
