Pre-conception Treatment Plan

The Pre-Conception Treatment aims to improve overall health, and therefore fertility, before conception occurs.

In women, research has shown that Acupuncture increases blood flow to the ovaries and uterus, regulates hormones and reduces stress.  These changes allow the body’s endocrine system to return to a better balance, while decreasing  cortisol levels and improving the endometrial lining and egg quality. Overall health and well-being improve as a side effect!

A program of acupuncture, herbal medicine, dietary & lifestyle counseling, and overall stress reduction is combined over a 3-9 month period, to best prepare you for a healthy pregnancy.  A comprehensive intake and evaluation is performed and a personalized treatment plan is created around your diagnosis.

The Pre-Conception plan is a great option for women wanting to improve their fertility naturally.  It is also a fantastic support for those preparing for IUI or IVF, or who have been unsuccessful in previous assisted reproductive techniques.

If you have a previous diagnosis of PCOS, you can expect 2-3 treatments per week for 6-8 weeks.

The Pre-Conception plan is the most common option for most female patients.
