ACUPUNCTURE FOR FERTILITY

Tell Me More…

If you’re on a journey to parenthood and seeking natural fertility support, you’ve come to the right place.

Acupuncture by Jena is here to empower you with a natural, evidence-based solution – fertility acupuncture.

Why Choose Fertility Acupuncture?

My mission is to increase your chances of conception by changing as many variables as possible in favour of fertility. I offer a range of comprehensive treatments designed to enhance your fertility experience. This includes helping you with natural conception as well as IVF/IUI support.

Fertility acupuncture has been shown to regulate hormones, enhance the menstrual cycle, promote ovulation, and support a healthy luteal phase, crucial for successful implantation.

The approach at Acupuncture by Jena is comprehensive, designed to provide you with the best possible chance of welcoming a happy, healthy baby into your life.

Acupuncture for fertility is easy and effective!

At Acupuncture by Jena we help couples overcome various fertility challenges, including:

• Unexplained Infertility
• Endometriosis
• Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
• Irregular Menstrual Cycles
• Annovulation (Not Ovulating)
• Recurrent Pregnancy Loss
• Male Factor Issues, such as Low Sperm Count, Volume, and Motility
• Low Ovarian Reserve

It’s essential to clarify that this not an IVF clinic and I am not a medical doctor. The term “fertility acupuncture” can be a misnomer, as needles alone cannot make you pregnant. However, what I can help with is preparing your body for conception using holistic methods. My goal is to help you achieve the highest level of wellness, reduce stress, and alleviate the physical and emotional burden that often accompanies trying to start a family.

HOW ACUPUNCTURE ENHANCES FERTILITY

How it Works

Acupuncture treatments can help you on your journey to parenthood by:

• Regulating the Menstrual Cycle
• Increasing Blood Flow to the Uterus and Ovaries
• Promoting Ovulation
• Supporting a Healthy Luteal Phase for Successful Implantation
• Enhancing Libido
• Reducing Stress and Anxiety Related to Fertility Challenges
• Increasing Sperm Count and Motility

Starting a family isn’t always straightforward, and multiple factors can affect your ability to conceive. Stress, diet, environmental toxins, age, and sperm health are just some of the well-known elements that can impact fertility.

There are also lesser-known factors like polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, NK cells, thyroid issues, and ovulation irregularities, etc. Sometimes, fertility issues remain unexplained, causing distress to those eager to start a family.

My goal is to determine potential obstacles to conception early in the process, so you can take action promptly and feel more in control of your fertility health.

CUSTOMIZED APPROACH

How I work

I understand that you are unique, and your fertility journey is as well.

At Acupuncture by Jena, I do not believe in mass treatment plans; I believe in personalized, patient-focused care.

FERTILITY ACUPUNCTURE FOR MEN

Male Fertility

At Acupuncture by Jena, I understand that fertility challenges can affect both women and men. When clients come to me for fertility treatment, I take a comprehensive approach that includes addressing potential male fertility factors.

It’s a common misconception that fertility issues primarily lie with women. However, statistics show that for 40% of infertile couples, male factors contribute to the challenge. To assess male fertility, I often recommend a semen analysis from your doctor, which measures various aspects of male reproductive health:

• Semen Count
• Morphology
• Motility
• Volume
• Liquefaction
• Other Factors

Lifestyle adjustments can positively impact male fertility relatively quickly because new sperm are made approximately every 70 days. However, it’s also essential to consult with a medical doctor (MD) to rule out any underlying hormonal or structural issues that might affect reproductive ability.

Supporting Male Fertility

In the realm of fertility treatment, men often get overlooked. However, at Acupuncture by Jena, I believe that supporting a male partner’s health is a crucial aspect of solving a couple’s fertility challenges. Each intervention, no matter how small, plays a role in tipping the odds in favour of conception.

Ultimately, it’s a teamwork approach, with both halves of the couple working to improve their health, thereby increasing the chances of having the healthiest baby possible. I offer gentle, effective treatments designed to enhance fertility for both men and women, ensuring that all aspects of fertility are addressed in your journey towards parenthood.

With a comprehensive and inclusive approach, I am dedicated to helping couples overcome fertility challenges and achieving the dream of having a happy, healthy baby.

IVF SUPPORT

IVF

At Acupuncture by Jena, I understand that the benefits of acupuncture for fertility are often cumulative. While some individuals may experience immediate results, it’s important to acknowledge that acupuncture typically doesn’t produce instant effects. Therefore, to maximize the chances of success, we recommend tailoring a treatment plan that suits your specific situation.

Ideally, I advise clients to initiate their acupuncture sessions three months before their scheduled IVF procedure.

Throughout your IVF journey, the approach is holistic and comprehensive. During the phase when you’re undergoing follicle-stimulating drug treatments, it is recommended to undergo one to two acupuncture sessions per week to enhance the effectiveness of your treatment.

Strategically, acupuncture sessions are scheduled a few days before critical stages of your IVF procedure, such as egg retrieval and embryo transfer. Prior to the embryo transfer, the acupuncture treatment is designed to prevent uterine spasms, employ specific points to prevent bleeding, and increase the likelihood of a successful transfer.

After the embryo transfer, I advocate for a post-transfer acupuncture session on the same day, further contributing to your overall well-being and fertility success.

Additionally, in the week leading up to your vital blood test arrange for one or two additional acupuncture sessions to provide the best possible support during this crucial phase.

These treatment plans are entirely customized to address the specific needs of each patient. I prioritize one-on-one consultations to ensure that your acupuncture support aligns seamlessly with your unique IVF journey.

TREATMENT DETAILS

Treatments

Your first visit with me is 70 minutes, while follow-up treatments are 50 minutes.

Initial Appointment: What to Expect

At Acupuncture by Jena, I value the importance of your initial visit, which begins with an in-depth consultation.

During this consultation, I ask a ton of detailed questions with each question being integral in shaping the ideal therapy tailored to your specific needs.

Then acupuncture points are skillfully selected based on your unique requirements and desired outcomes.

During your acupuncture session, fine needles are gently inserted and are typically left in place for approximately 25-45 minutes. This allows you to relax in the soothing ambiance of the treatment room, where your comfort is a priority.

Subsequent visits are generally shorter in duration and typically do not include a full consultation. Instead, I may engage in a brief discussion about the progress you’ve experienced and the changes and improvements you may have noticed in various aspects of your well-being, such as sleep quality, mood, and stress levels. This ongoing dialogue helps us ensure that your treatment plan remains aligned with your evolving needs and goals.

Frequency of Sessions

The frequency of acupuncture sessions depends on your individual situation. Treatment may be recommended once or twice per week to best support your fertility journey.

FAQ

How does acupuncture work for fertility?

Acupuncture modulates the communication between your nervous system and hormonal system. It directly affects hormones, regulates the menstrual cycle, promotes ovulation, supports the luteal phase for implantation, balances hormones, stimulates a healthy uterine lining, increases libido, and reduces stress associated with conception.

Is acupuncture still beneficial if I’m on ovulation induction medication such as Clomifene?

Yes, acupuncture can complement your medication, promoting ovulation and supporting the luteal phase for successful implantation.

Should my husband come for acupuncture?

Given the decline in sperm rates and sub-fertility, it makes sense for both partners to receive acupuncture at specific times in the menstrual cycle to increase pregnancy rates. Acupuncture can also give your husband a “boost” at the time of your ovulation.

Does it hurt?

No, acupuncture is virtually painless. The needles used are fine and flexible, often compared to a human hair or a cat whisker. Most people find acupuncture extremely relaxing and even fall asleep during treatment.

Is it safe to get acupuncture when trying to get pregnant?

The practice of acupuncture for fertility is considered safe. However, it’s crucial to prioritize your safety by seeking out a certified and licensed professional who is well-versed in infertility care. When you book a session with Acupuncture by Jena, you can trust that you’ll receive the highest quality of care and achieve the best possible results. Your well-being and journey to parenthood are our top priorities.

Is acupuncture safe during pregnancy?

Absolutely! Acupuncture is recommended during the first trimester of your pregnancy. It can help with anxiety, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, headaches, and heartburn, among other symptoms.
