Trying to conceive is an incredibly exciting time in a person’s life! It’s a time of big changes, exciting possibilities, and anticipation. It can also be stressful, emotional, and frustrating. Luckily, there are people who can help you during this time, and an acupuncturist is one of them!
If you have been trying to conceive you have likely learned a great amount about your body and fertility. It’s fascinating that basal body temperature and cervical mucus change based on the menstrual cycle and that we can learn so much about our fertility with lab work like semen analysis and blood counts.
If basal body temperature and it’s relation to the menstrual cycle is something that interests you, we have another blog post about it here.
If you are looking for support in your TTC journey, acupuncture might be the boost you are looking for. Ideally, acupuncture treatments should start a few months before you start trying to conceive and continue until you are successful, but it can be used at any point for any length of time so don’t worry if you’ve already started trying.
Acupuncture can also be used at the same time as IVF, IUI, IVI, FET, and other reproductive technologies making it a great tool to add to your process.
