Supporting Your Fertility Journey, Every Step of the Way

Acupuncture has become an increasingly popular complementary therapy for patients receiving fertility treatment. While it is not a replacement for medical fertility care, many individuals choose to incorporate acupuncture into their treatment plan to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and support overall well being.

At Pinnacle Fertility, our physicians take a personalized approach to care and can help you determine whether acupuncture may be an appropriate addition to your fertility journey.

What is Fertility Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a form of Traditional Chinese Medicine that uses very thin sterile needles placed at specific points on the body.

Within fertility care, acupuncture is considered a complementary therapy. It is intended to work alongside evidence based medical treatment, not replace it.

While research continues to evolve, some patients choose acupuncture because it helps them feel more relaxed throughout fertility treatment. Others incorporate it into their overall wellness routine while preparing for pregnancy.

Every patient’s experience is unique, and your physician can help determine whether acupuncture fits into your personalized treatment plan.

Why Patients Choose Acupuncture

Many patients receive acupuncture during different stages of treatment, including:

• Before IVF begins

• During ovarian stimulation

• Prior to egg retrieval

• Before and after embryo transfer

• During the two week wait

• During early pregnancy when recommended by their physician

Because every treatment plan is unique, timing should always be discussed with your fertility physician and acupuncture provider.
