Acupuncture for Fertility, Pregnancy & Postpartum

Leaf Banner Silver Leaf Acupuncture

Women’s Fertility

Acupuncture serves as both an alternative and complementary approach to medical interventions like intrauterine insemination (IUI) or in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles.

​

It aids in enhancing blood flow to the uterus, promoting a healthy lining, while also contributing to improved egg quality and hormonal balance in women, including progesterone, estrogen, HCG, FSH, AMH, and LH levels.

​

Acupuncture effectively mitigates stress associated with the fertility journey, offering support during an emotionally challenging period where individuals often feel a loss of control over their bodies and minds.

Acupuncture addresses male fertility concerns by improving both sperm quality including motility and morphology, and quantity. By integrating acupuncture with supplements and lifestyle adjustments, it positively impacts men's sperm health.

If you would like to discuss your specific journey schedule a consultation.

Testimonial

IVF with low AMH-egg reserve

"I had very complicated infertility and was given very little odds of even IVF working. I began seeing Margo at the very beginning of my journey. At this point in time things were meek, confusing and honestly sad. She was so knowledgeable on the entire process. I enjoyed every single minute we spent together, and it turn out to be very beneficial! Over 16 months I gave birth to not only one but two beautiful children. 6 months after my daughter was born I returned to Margo eager to get started on another embryo transfer. And again saw great success in the birth of my son."
