What is Fertility Acupuncture?

Fertility acupuncture is a natural, holistic treatment designed to support reproductive health, regulate hormones, and improve the chances of conception.

At Aviara Acupuncture, we specialize in fertility acupuncture to help individuals and couples overcome infertility challenges and achieve their dream of parenthood.

More Info

Fertility acupuncture offers a safe and holistic approach to addressing fertility challenges by supporting both the mind and body, aiming to restore balance and optimize reproductive health. Through a combination of acupuncture, herbal medicine, nutrition, and lifestyle modifications, this natural treatment method helps regulate the menstrual cycle, balance hormones, and enhance the overall function of the reproductive system. By reducing exposure to environmental toxins and improving both the woman’s and her partner’s health—especially sperm quality—fertility acupuncture creates an optimal state of health that encourages conception. This comprehensive approach works to harmonize the body’s systems, improving fertility within a few months, with the goal of helping a woman conceive and carry a healthy baby to term. The focus is on enhancing vitality, nurturing both partners’ well-being, and providing a supportive environment for conception and a healthy pregnancy.

How Fertility Acupuncture Supports Conception?

Acupuncture has been used for centuries to enhance reproductive health by restoring balance to the body. Scientific research shows that fertility acupuncture can:

Regulate Menstrual Cycles – Ensures consistent ovulation and a healthy uterine lining for implantation.
Balance Hormones – Supports optimal levels of estrogen, progesterone, and other key fertility hormones.
Improve Ovarian Function & Egg Quality – Enhances blood flow to the ovaries, promoting healthier, more viable eggs.
Increase Blood Flow to the Uterus – Creates a thick, receptive uterine lining to support implantation.
Reduce Stress & Cortisol Levels – Infertility can be emotionally exhausting; acupuncture lowers stress and supports a healthy mind-body connection.
Enhance Male Fertility – Supports sperm count, motility, and morphology for stronger, healthier sperm.

Fertility acupuncture is effective on its own or as a complementary treatment for IVF, IUI, and other assisted reproductive technologies (ART).

Fertility Success Stories from Our Patients

“I started my infertility journey at 37. I was diagnosed with low ovarian reserve and found out I was going through perimenopause. Ultimately we went through an egg donor because my egg quantity and quality were both low and completed a total of 4 embryo transfers. We had 2 unsuccessful transfers without acupuncture and 2 successful transfers with the help of acupuncture. After our first failed transfer, a friend of mine recommended that I see her acupuncturist. I read that if nothing else, it would help manage my stress levels. I saw my acupuncturist for 2 months leading up to my second embryo transfer and through the entire first trimester.

Thanks to my lovely doctors we had our beautiful daughter in August of 2022!! Fast forward 1.5 years we decided to try for a second baby. We moved to a new city and started seeing a new doctor. We did our first embryo transfer without the aid of acupuncture and again with the same negative results. So when I was planning for a second embryo transfer I researched a fertility acupuncturist in my area and thankfully found Nenita.

She was so kind and caring and truly listened to my journey and wanted to help. She was able to squeeze me in for appointments within the week, and make every effort to see me for the month leading up to my transfer and for weekly visits for my first 10 weeks of pregnancy. Not only did acupuncture help me get pregnant it helped me reduce my stress levels, nausea, morning sickness, and headaches!! I'm currently 23 weeks pregnant with our second baby and couldn't be more grateful to Nenita!” - MN 41 y/o

“As the years passed, and I approached 40, the doubts began to creep in. Each month ended in disappointment, leading me to wonder if our family was complete. My heart ached at the thought of my daughter growing up without a sibling, especially after one Christmas when she earnestly told me, “Mom, I asked Santa for a baby sister.”

Her innocent wish filled me with both hope and sadness. Months later, a friend recommended acupuncture, and I decided to give it a try, seeing it as my last chance to expand our family without the financial strain of other options. My first visit with Nenita was transformative; I left feeling lighter and more hopeful than I had in a long time. I hadn’t fully grasped how acupuncture could improve my overall well-being until I experienced it firsthand.

Following Nenita’s expert guidance, I became pregnant with my second baby girl. This
journey has taught me resilience, hope, and the boundless love a family can bring. I am
incredibly grateful to Nenita and her practice for their support and guidance throughout
my journey. Her expertise in acupuncture not only helped me physically but also
provided the emotional and spiritual uplift I needed. Thanks to her, I was finally able to
fulfill my dream of expanding my family. I can’t recommend Nenita’s Acupuncture
enough for anyone on a similar path.” – Jennifer M. 40 y/o

"I started seeing Nenita due to problems conceiving with our first child. Six months into trying to conceive I started working with her to address spotting between periods and very long cycles. I worked with her for six months doing weekly acupuncture and herbs when we discovered that we were also dealing with male factor infertility on my husband's side. We were told our odds of conceiving naturally were very small and opted for IVF. I continued to see Nenita through IVF, where our first transfer was a success, and also through my first trimester to deal with morning sickness and discomfort.

After the birth of our first child, we experienced an early miscarriage and opted to use acupuncture and herbs to see if we could conceive naturally. My husband also took daily herbs to manage the low morphology that he was dealing with.
Nenita once again got my cycles back on track and stopped the spotting. She told us to wait for 3 cycles before trying to conceive to avoid another possible miscarriage. We got pregnant the first month we tried, which is amazing!

I highly recommend Nenita if you are struggling with fertility. Our fertility doctor told us there was a good chance we would never conceive on our own but with Nenita's help, we were successful. Plus, she has struggled with fertility issues herself so she can relate on so many levels. She is a sweetheart and we are very thankful that we met her!" – Laya H. 28 y/o

"I struggled with infertility and several chemical pregnancies for a year. After a lot of research, I decided that I should try acupuncture and was referred to Aviara Acupuncture. Within a month of treatments with Nenita, my cycle had already transformed and was on track to being normal again. And by the second month, I was pregnant and I was able to hold onto the pregnancy. With the combination of acupuncture, natural remedies and Nenita's guidance, I am now halfway through a healthy pregnancy and am just so grateful for Aviara Acupuncture and Nenita. I cannot rave enough about how professional, knowledgeable and kind Nenita is. I am forever grateful for what she did for me, my body and my fertility." – Meghan D. 33 y/o
