​​

Natural (Unassisted Cycles):

If you can commit to weekly sessions for 8 weeks, this would be the most optimal. At the very least, an acupuncture session before and after ovulation.

​

Intrauterine Insemination (IUI):

Acupuncture begins day 1-3 of the IUI cycle to help recruit follicles. 

Acupuncture is then repeated every 3-4 days until either the hCG trigger injection or LH surge.

Acupuncture is also recommended 4-8 days post IUI to help with implantation.

 

In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF):

IVF Fertility acupuncture is very specific to the timeline of transfer and we would like you to get the most out of your appointment. 

​

Acupuncture 1x/week during priming (when your hormones are being suppressed; the cycle before your IVF cycle) OR on day 21 of the cycle before.

Acupuncture 2x/week before a retrieval to help with follicle growth and recruitment.

Acupuncture before the embryo transfer (as close as possible to the transfer).

Acupuncture after the embryo transfer (within 2-5 days, but the closer to the transfer the better).

Acupuncture 1x in the two week wait (optional, to help support the nervous system).

​

Additional: in cases of a FET (frozen embryo transfer), acupuncture starts on day 1-3 of your cycle, to assist in preparing your endometrial lining for the transfer (1-2 sessions/week).

​

Investment: $90/session (requires an initial naturopathic assessment if you are not a current patient).
