Pre Conception Planning

As they saying goes, nourish the soil before planting the seeds.⠀that statement is the essence of traditional Chinese medicine approach to fertility work. Acupuncture is a very effective supporting treatment for women preparing for conception. this includes natural fertility, iui, ivf, male and female infertility, etc.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This phase of treatment is focused on preparing the body, mind and spirit; this can take 3 months to 1 year. Why that time frame? It takes a full year for an egg to develop and a minimum of 3 months to impact egg quality and regulate the cycle. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
During this time both partners should have their reproductive health addressed. assessing hormone levels, nutrition, structural issues and any chronic health issues. By bringing balance to those aspects, the chances of natural conception or supported conception (iui/ivf) are substantially increased.⠀
