01 SPECIALIST CLINIC

Fertility Acupuncture.
Gentle support for every step of your fertility journey.

Fertility acupuncture offers calm, considered care for anyone trying to conceive, whether naturally or alongside IUI or IVF. Our practitioners bring dedicated experience specifically in fertility support, using acupuncture as a complementary therapy that works alongside your medical treatment, never in place of it. Every plan is built around your specific stage and needs, with the aim of supporting your body's balance through a journey that can often feel anything but calm.

— WHO THIS CLINIC IS FOR

If you're at any of these stages

Acupuncture is most effective when started early in your reproductive timeline. The patients we typically see are:

  • Planning to start trying within 3-6 months — wanting to prepare body and cycle.
  • Have been trying for 6+ months without success — exploring complementary support.
  • Beginning an IUI or IVF cycle — looking for cycle-day acupuncture alongside the medical protocol.
  • Currently in an IVF cycle — supporting implantation around embryo transfer.
  • Recovering from miscarriage — restoring cycle regularity and emotional rebuild.
  • Trying naturally after IVF — using TCM patterns to support cycle health.
  • Considering egg freezing — preparing the ovarian environment.
OUR APPROACH

TCM Diagnostic Depth, Integrated with Western Medicine

Every fertility acupuncture journey starts with a detailed consultation, where your practitioner discusses your fertility history, any current treatment (such as IUI or IVF), and your general health and wellbeing, building a full picture before any treatment begins. As part of this assessment, we may use traditional diagnostic techniques such as pulse and tongue diagnosis, alongside your case history, to guide your treatment plan.

From there, we build a personalised course of treatment, often timed around your specific fertility pathway — for example, sessions before and after embryo transfer are a commonly requested pattern for IVF patients. Treatment is delivered with the same care and attention throughout, and we stay closely coordinated with what you're doing medically, so acupuncture supports your treatment rather than existing separately from it.

Many patients continue sessions into early pregnancy, if desired, providing continuity of care through one of the most significant transitions of the journey.

How Fertility Acupuncture May Help

  • Supports relaxation and stress reduction during a journey that's often physically and emotionally demanding.
  • May support healthy blood flow to the reproductive organs, commonly cited as a supportive factor in fertility treatment.
  • Complements IUI and IVF cycles, with many patients timing sessions around key stages of their treatment.
  • Supports regular menstrual cycles, which some patients find helpful alongside efforts to conceive.
  • Offers a calming space to process the emotional demands of fertility treatment, separate from clinical appointments.
  • Works alongside male fertility support, since acupuncture is often used to support both partners through a shared fertility journey.
  • Provides continuity of care across your fertility journey, from preconception through to early pregnancy support, if needed.

Patient stories

★★★★★
"After 18 months of trying and one round of IVF that failed, Peter's 4-month course of pre-IVF acupuncture made the difference. We have a daughter."

★★★★★
"I was sceptical. My IVF clinic recommended Peter regardless. Three months in, my cycle had regularised for the first time in years. We conceived naturally."
AT · 39 · NATURAL AFTER IVF
★★★★★
"Recurrent miscarriage. Peter took the case seriously, mapped my cycle in detail, and supported us through 6 months of work before we tried again."

Common Questions — Fertility Acupuncture

Evidence on fertility acupuncture is mixed and still developing, and it should be considered a complementary support alongside your medical fertility treatment, not a guaranteed way to improve success rates. Many patients find it valuable for supporting relaxation and general wellbeing during a stressful process, and some evidence suggests potential benefits around blood flow and stress reduction, but it isn't a substitute for medical fertility care or advice from your fertility specialist.

This varies by individual circumstance — some patients begin months before starting IUI or IVF to support general health and cycle regularity, while others begin alongside an active treatment cycle. Your practitioner can advise on timing based on your specific situation and any planned medical treatment.

Yes, when delivered by an experienced practitioner who understands fertility treatment protocols and stays coordinated with your fertility clinic. It's worth informing both your acupuncturist and fertility specialist about all treatment you're receiving, so care is properly coordinated.

Yes — fertility acupuncture is often used to support male fertility as well, and many couples choose to attend sessions together as part of a shared approach to their fertility journey.

Yes, with an adapted approach — early pregnancy acupuncture uses different techniques and point selection to standard fertility acupuncture, avoiding certain points that are inappropriate during pregnancy. Let your practitioner know as soon as you have a positive result so your treatment can be adjusted accordingly.

This depends on your individual circumstances, any medical treatment you're undertaking, and your practitioner's assessment. Some patients attend for a set course leading up to a treatment cycle, while others prefer ongoing, regular sessions throughout their journey. Your practitioner will discuss a realistic plan tailored to you.
