Fertility

Some call it moving the ancestral energy, being born and growing up we naturally may find ourselves wanting to be pregnant and it doesn’t come as easily as it seems it should. There are many factors and being a holistic medicine your acupuncturist will look at all of them diet, lifestyle, emotional factors, medications, possibly basal body temperature charting, and depending on whether you intend to try acupuncture alone or with IUI or IVF how exactly the treatment will go.

In the tradition of Jill Blakeway at The Yin Ova clinic in NYC, correcting subtle imbalances with acupuncture, herbs, and food; identifying your type, and providing a schedule for acupuncture that coincides with any fertility treatments. Often thought of as treatment for women, male infertility is equally valid. Patients seeking acupuncture for fertility usually are clear if it’s male or female infertility from a fertility doctor or OB/GYN, it’s not necessary when coming for acupuncture. Your acupuncturist has diagnostic methods that are effective alone or will complement the doctors advice.

Communication between doctor and acupuncturist would be wonderful and if your specialist is willing to chat with your acupuncturist please have then be in contact with us as part of your treatment planning. Otherwise it will be up to you to communicate between doctor and acupuncturist. We recommend buying Jill Blakeways book, Making Babies, and making an appointment to evaluate where you are on your fertility journey and start the program of healing and optimizing it for you.
