Female Fertility

There is growing amount of research into the specific effects of acupuncture for female fertility. Initial research suggests acupuncture may help by:

  • Normalising the menstrual cycle – regulating cycle length, pain, blood flow and ovulation.
  • Increasing blood circulation in the pelvis to the ovaries and uterus and improving the endometrial lining thickness.
  • Helping to induce ovulation by stimulating release of GnRH by the hypothalamus and luteinising hormone from the pituitary gland.
  • Improving implantation rates when given around the time of embryo transfer.
  • Reducing stress and anxiety to help increase chances of conceiving.
  • Increasing energy and balancing hormones.

Male Fertility

A number of clinical studies have found that acupuncture can lead to a significant improvement in sperm quality and motility.

  • It is thought that acupuncture may enhance male fertility by improving hormone levels and testicular blood flow and by reducing inflammation and stress levels which have an adverse effect on male fertility.
  • Researchers found five weeks of acupuncture treatment reduced the number of structural abnormalities in sperm and increased the overall number of normal sperm in a group of men with infertility problems.
  • Research also says that acupuncture helps sperm production and increases met enkephalins in the blood and has the effect of energising them. Acupuncture is beneficial the day before a sperm sample is given during IVF.
  • Male fertility acupuncture treatment is scheduled once or twice a week over a period of 5-10 weeks, together with dietary and lifestyle advice.

How can it help you

Benefits of Fertility Acupuncture

A growing body of scientific research now supports the efficiency of acupuncture for fertility, indicating that couples are significantly more likely to fall pregnant naturally or to successfully conceive following an IVF cycle. Acupuncture for fertility helps prepare the body for conception and pregnancy by:

– Increasing blood flow to the reproductive organs, balancing the reproductive cycle

– Improving the quality of the endometrial lining

– Helping to regulate the immune system

– Helping reduce stress and anxiety which can affect women when trying to conceive

– Increasing energy and balancing hormones

A benefit of acupuncture is that it doesn’t focus on just one organ, but on the body as a whole, including mental health. Acupuncture releases endorphins, nature’s pain relieving messengers, helping reduce discomfort, stress and anxiety that are easily triggered in women trying to conceive. Men can also benefit from using acupuncture prior to and during IVF, particularly if there is male factor infertility or they have high stress levels.

Client Testimonials

5/5

Understanding, knowledgeable and supportive

After nearly 2 years of trying my husband and I became very despondent in our fertility journey. Still in my late 20s and my husband in his early 30s we weren't sure what to do. I booked a consultation with Emma and am so glad I did, she was understanding, knowledgeable and supportive. Since then I've been to Emma for weekly sessions of acupuncture and am now soon to be entering my third trimester! Emma's sessions have doubtlessly helped us on our pregnancy journey, whilst also making me feel calmer and less stressed. I plan to continue to see Emma even after my baby is born and can't recommend her enough! Thank you Emma.

Emma is a fantastic acupuncturist. I started going every week and a short time later I was pregnant. Emma is extremely knowledgeable on all areas of fertility and will help to put you at ease. If you are thinking about going I would 100% recommend! I will continue to go to her.

Sorted My Migraines

Been going to Emma for many years for an assortment of different things. Including migraines (because I couldn't cope with the side effects of the medication the Dr gave me) and I could not recommend her or the clinic more. I was very nervous to start with but Emma was very patient and I soon relaxed and started to enjoy the experience.

Changed My Life

Highly recommend. Excellent support throughout. I suffered from PCOS and had tried many conventional treatments to get pregnant before trying acupuncture. I was skeptical when I started and wasn’t sure if I believed it would make any difference to me but I couldn’t have been more wrong. It changed my life completely and now have 2 healthy boys which I know would not be here if it wasn’t for the guidance and treatments Emma advised.

Miscarriage Support

I was introduced to Emma in 2016, after suffering 4 miscarriages (2 consecutive) someone recommend her to me. I am the worst patient, I faint when giving blood so to say that I was nervous was an understatement, but Emma was so lovely, supportive and very patient with me. I went on to have our beautiful daughter in September 2017. A short time after our daughter we decided to try again, I had a further 2 consecutive miscarriages so got back in touch with Emma again and now as I approach the end of the first trimester I couldn't be happier. I would definitely recommend Emma to anyone who has struggled with miscarriage.

The Best Fertility Acupuncture

After multiple rounds of IVF and some resulting miscarriages, I went to Emma for weekly sessions of acupuncture. The service she provided was personally adapted to my needs and she offered a reassuring support system through some difficult times. Importantly, her treatment was also manageable with my restricted budget. I felt that I could trust her when I was feeling very vulnerable and her treatment gave me confidence and also helped me to relax. When I eventually had a successful pregnancy I continued my sessions with Emma and she even came to visit me once I'd had my baby! She is highly recommended!
