Acupuncture helps improve fertility in the following ways:
The sooner you can begin acupuncture treatment, the more opportunity there is to improve outcomes. Research has shown that some treatment is better than no treatment, but acupuncture’s effectiveness increases with the number of acupuncture sessions prior to fertility treatment. Sperm and eggs both take approximately 90 days to develop. As such, we recommend you begin acupuncture treatment 3 months prior to treatment.
Male
Acupuncture can help to improve sperm quality. Since sperm take approximately 90 days to develop, we recommend that men begin weekly acupuncture treatment at least 3 months before trying to conceive. Many men continue acupuncture treatment beyond their fertility protocol to manage stress throughout pregnancy and childbirth.
