Fertility

Laura has been able to help thousands of women, who’ve struggled with fertility issues, get pregnant. Acupuncture fertility treatments increase the likelihood of pregnancy by:

  • Regulating hormones

  • Relaxing the nervous system

  • Regulating periods

  • Reverse the effects of cortisol and stress by releasing endorphins in the brain

  • Improves blood flow to the ovaries and uterus

  • This improved blood flow can help thicken the lining of the uterus, increasing the chances of conception

Acupuncture for fertility can optimize fertility, and help to ensure a smooth and healthy pregnancy.

Laura creates customized fertility treatment plans for every stage of a woman’s journey toward motherhood. Whether trying to conceive naturally, or via IUI or IVF, we consider the uniqueness of each patient to develop treatment plans that foster success.

In addition to acupuncture - depending on patient constitution, Laura may recommend herbal medicine, lifestyle and/or diet changes.

NATURAL FERTILITY SUPPORT

Our natural fertility support program is designed to bring your body back into balance. Although our focus is on the reproductive system, we look at the body as a whole. The health and well-being of your entire body is important when preparing to conceive naturally.

Optimizing fertility and improving pregnancy success is different for each couple. We look at each couple individually and develop a specialized treatment plan to increase the chances of conception and healthy full-term pregnancy.  Our goal is to uncover and enhance your fertility potential that may be blocked or disrupted by many factors. 

We recommend treatment starting at least three months before conception takes place as it takes about three months for an egg to mature. During that time it is important to create healthy follicles and better egg quality; balance hormones and regulate your menstrual cycle; and get your body as a whole in the best condition for conception to take place.

IVF / IUI OPTIMIZATION

Success of IVF and IUI depend just as much on the balanced state of your body as does success without these assisted reproductive techniques. Scientific studies have shown again and again that acupuncture can increase IVF and IUI success rates dramatically. A review combining the results of seven previous studies has found that IVF with acupuncture (compared to IVF alone) increases the chances of having an ongoing pregnancy (beyond 12 weeks from gestation) by 87%, and nearly doubles the chance of a successful live birth.

In addition to regular treatments - acupuncture is highly recommended within 24 hours before an embryo transfer, and again, within 24 hours after.

The melding of acupuncture and IVF / IUI has been the focus of a large number of research studies all over the world.  It has been consistently shown that acupuncture can dramatically increase IVF and IUI success rates.
