Fertility Acupuncture
Supportive care along your journey, whether naturally, through IUI, or IVF.
Support for Every Step of Your Journey
Whether you're trying to conceive naturally, preparing for IUI, or undergoing IVF, the fertility journey can be both physically and emotionally demanding.
At Alignment, we offer personalized acupuncture care tailored to your individual needs, menstrual cycle, and fertility treatment schedule. Our goal is to support your overall well-being, help manage stress, and provide a calm, supportive environment throughout the process.
We work alongside your existing fertility care, providing complementary support at every stage of your journey.
Support Through Each Phase
Preparing: We discuss your menstrual cycle, health history, stress, sleep, and upcoming milestones. Lifestyle and treatment recommendations are individualized rather than based on a single fertility template.
During IUI or IVF: We can coordinate scheduling around stimulation, monitoring, retrieval, or transfer when relevant and appropriate. Acupuncture is complementary care; it does not replace fertility medications, monitoring, or procedures.
After a Procedure or During the Two-Week Wait: We aim to offer a calm setting and support your overall comfort. We avoid claims that any specific acupuncture point or session can ensure implantation or pregnancy.
What Does the Evidence Say?
Some patients value acupuncture for relaxation, comfort, and support while undergoing fertility care. Clinical research has not reliably shown that acupuncture around embryo transfer improves IVF live-birth rates. We do not promise improved egg quality, implantation, or pregnancy outcomes, and we do not recommend delaying medical fertility treatment to try acupuncture.
Why a Three-Month Fertility Program?
Fertility treatment often unfolds over several menstrual cycles. A structured series gives us time to tailor acupuncture to your health concerns, review how you are feeling, and coordinate visits with your fertility care.
There is some evidence that treatment duration matters. A 2025 systematic review of acupuncture alongside assisted reproduction found more favorable outcomes in studies using treatment courses of at least three months, particularly with 20 or more sessions. However, the research is mixed: no specific number of visits or weekly schedule has been proven best, and a large randomized IVF trial found no improvement in live-birth rates compared with sham acupuncture.
Our 20-visit program is designed for approximately three months, generally with one or two acupuncture sessions per week. Scheduling is individualized around your cycle, fertility procedures, and comfort; some weeks may call for a different frequency.
Fertility Support Package
20 acupuncture visits over approximately three months — $1,800
Your $1,800 program includes all 20 acupuncture visits, a personalized Chinese herbal medicine consultation, and the Chinese herbal medicine we prescribe and provide as part of your treatment plan (when appropriate). Both the consultation and the herbal medicine are included in the package price at no additional cost. We review medications and coordinate with your fertility specialist before recommending herbs, particularly during IUI, IVF, or pregnancy. If herbs are not appropriate, you can still receive acupuncture. Treatment cannot guarantee conception, implantation, or a live birth.
A Personalized Conversation
Tell us where you are in the process, what your fertility specialist has recommended, and what kind of support you are looking for. If you might be pregnant, tell us before your treatment. Herbal products are never started during fertility treatment or pregnancy without appropriate medical coordination.
Includes 20 acupuncture sessions, a personalized herbal consultation, and prescribed Chinese herbal medicine provided by Alignment at no additional cost when clinically appropriate and coordinated with your fertility care. Pregnancy results are not guaranteed.
