Acupuncture for Fertility in Edmonton
Fertility Acupuncture can help you conceive faster and supports your health pre-pregnancy so you can have a healthier pregnancy. Trying to conceive a child can be an exciting time, while also being stressful, emotional and frustrating. Acupuncture for fertility begins three months before conception for both you and your partner. Acupuncture to support IVF, IUI, IVI, and FET should begin three to six months before starting fertility treatments.
Uterine, egg and sperm factors account for about 80% of infertility diagnoses. We work closely with you and your chosen fertility clinic during IUI, IVI, IVF, FET and surrogacy.
How can Fertility Acupuncture help you conceive?
Acupuncture supports fertility and artificial reproductive technologies by improving blood flow, increasing egg quality, regulating the menstrual cycle, managing side effects from medications, and reducing stress:
“Higher levels of stress as measured by salivary alpha-amylase are associated with a longer time-to-pregnancy (TTP) and an increased risk of infertility.”
Journal of Human Reproduction, April 2021
Since higher levels of stress can reduce your fertility, acupuncture treatments can help you lower your stress to help you conceive safely and naturally. In a recent study, researchers found “evidence that acupuncture decreases the stress response in both human and animal subjects.”
