We Recommend:

BEFORE TRYING TO CONCEIVE OR PRIOR TO EGG RETRIEVAL:

Acupuncture is recommended weekly for 1-3 months prior to trying to conceive, before an egg retrieval, and before your transfer of your FET. We are aiming to regulate your cycle, prepare your body and mind, and regulate your hormones.

DURING STIMULATION/OVULATION:

We can help improve follicle development, build uterine lining, and drive blood flow to the uterus and ovaries.

We recommend coming weekly during this phase to help with side effects from hormones and other drugs needed for conception/egg retrieval.

AFTER PREGNANCY OR TRANSFER:

We can increase implantation outcomes after ovulation or after your transfer. It is recommended you come on the day of your transfer both before and after for best results. We also recommend coming weekly for up to 10 weeks as you navigate your first trimester and hold the pregnancy.
