AMH or anti mullerian hormone is often talked about as a fertility verdict, but practically speaking, it’s a marker of how the ovaries may respond to hormonal signaling. That’s why it’s especially important in IVF settings—it helps clinics predict how the ovaries might respond to stimulation for an egg retrieval.

Outside of that context, AMH is just one piece of information. It tells us a bit about quantity, but not about quality! If you’re still ovulating, your body is still responding to hormonal signals. Each cycle, usually one egg is released—and it only takes one. I remind my people of this a lot were not trying to have millions of children.

The most helpful way to use an AMH result is as a data point, not a diagnosis. AMH results can help guide timing, inform decision-making, and help shape support—but it shouldn’t be used to create panic or pressure. Fertility care works best when we look at the whole picture, not a single number.

This knowledge is starting to percolate into the collective! But, we still have a long way to go. I’m excited to be shepherding this medicine with all things birth and reproductive health.

IVF is already doing a lot of the heavy lifting — stimulating the ovaries, retrieving eggs, creating embryos, and selecting the healthiest s***m. Acupuncture doesn’t replace any of that.

What acupuncture does is support your body’s response to the IVF process.

Acupuncture helps improve blood flow to the ovaries and uterus, which supports follicle development and the uterine lining — both important for implantation and egg retrievals. There’s strong research showing that acupuncture can support egg quality, increase the number of healthy, genetically viable eggs retrieved, and improve live birth rates as well!
IVF can also be physically and emotionally intense. When the body is under ongoing stress, circulation and hormone signaling can be affected. By calming the nervous system, acupuncture helps the body stay in a more regulated, receptive state throughout treatment.

My patient came to me for her second IVF transfer. She wasn’t a sceptic of acupuncture, but she definitely did not feel that it was going to change things a whole bunch. This was just an “in case” addition for the second transfer.

For anyone going through IVF, you know that checking the lining can be nervewracking. Most IVF clinics need your endometrial lining to be at least 7mm. This patient had struggled with this in the past, which had delayed her last cycle, cost her more time and money, and required more medication.

This transfer, the same pattern seemed to be repeating itself. She was 6mm for her lining, barely budging. They were again talking about upping her estrogen and delaying the transfer. I offered acupuncture and some moxibustion. Before they could increase the medication amounts, her lining jumped from 6mm to 7.2mm and she was able to move forward with the transfer as planned. This surprised her nurse so much that she asked what she was doing that caused this change.

This is one of the few experiences I had with a patient as I walked beside them during IVF. Sometimes things can feel so out of our control. And sometimes not. Acupuncture has been shown to increase the uterine artery blood flow which not only can support endometrial thickness but also receptivity!

This medicine is amazing. If you are going through IVF and could use support, reach out and book an appointment with me.

“Trying to conceive and feeling like you’ve tried everything? Acupuncture might be the missing piece.”

Acupuncture for fertility: is it right for you?

As our lives become more stressful and the environment becomes more unpredictable, infertility is on the rise. Sadly, most of us know a couple who has struggled, but can’t seem to make their dream a reality. The WHO is now saying that 1 in 5 couples will go on to use some form of reproductive technology. Perhaps this is even you? If so, my heart goes out to you, as I’m aware of how hard it can be to navigate that journey.

Acupuncture can be a significant support option for fertility. I have seen it ease painful cycles, regulate ovulation, and help support so many of my people to conceive. This medicine is amazing, sometimes I’m just in awe that I even get to practice it.

There isn’t just one way to understand what your cycle is doing. Looking at multiple signs over time often gives the clearest picture.

✨Basal body temperature (BBT) can help confirm ovulation by showing a sustained temperature rise after it occurs.
✨Cycle length helps reveal overall rhythm and consistency, especially when patterns are tracked across several months.
✨Cervical mucus offers real-time information about fertile windows and estrogen activity leading up to ovulation.

No single marker tells the whole story. Together, these signs help create a clearer, more complete view of cycle health.

For people with endometriosis, period pain is often just one piece of a much bigger picture — inflammation, pelvic tension, nervous system activation, digestive symptoms, fatigue, and cycles that feel anything but predictable.

Endometriosis isn’t only about where lesions are found.

It’s about how the whole body is responding over time.

Supportive care for painful periods often looks like:
• addressing chronic inflammation
• improving pelvic circulation
• calming an overactivated nervous system
• supporting digestion and hormone signaling
• working with the cycle, not against it

Acupuncture doesn’t erase endometriosis — but it can support the body in managing pain, reducing inflammatory load, and creating more ease throughout the cycle.
If your period pain has ever been minimized, dismissed, or normalized when it didn’t feel normal to you — that experience matters.
You deserve care that takes your pain seriously.

A Case Study on Recurrent Loss. TW: Loss and miscarriage.

If you are one of us who has experienced multiple losses, you know that most doctor’s offices will offer investigative testing only after the third loss. This can be incredibly difficult and confusing to navigate as the person having the losses.

This case study on recurrent loss is not unique for me as a fertility acupuncturist. I wish I could say it was uncommon, but it is not. But, here is my approach to her care and why I think it is so worth carving out a slice of the internet to hold space for it.

We worked weekly to help regulate her cycle, reduce pain, and support regular ovulation. I saw huge improvements in the second month with less PMS signs, less pain during the period, a more regular cycle at 30 days. She had gone from a 5/10 pain wise during the beginning of her period to 1/10. It was amazing.

We worked on regulating stress & inflammation. This also looked like working on lifestyle, supplement recommendations, exercise tweaks, hydration goals, dietary advice.

We included her partner! He was given recommendations and suggestions to improve sleep, diet, and exercise. He was also given recommendations to specifically improve s***m quality.

I helped her advocate for testing. While it was not the investigative post miscarriage testing she wanted, this was a huge win. I wrote scripts for her to engage with her doctor, questions to ask, and also we viewed her lab results through the lens of Chinese Medicine. It informed all of the choices and decisions on lifestyle and even some acupuncture point protocols.

After three months of working together regularly, she decided she wanted to try to conceive again. The first month of trying she conceived. And she continued acupuncture through the beginning of her pregnancy. She was able to carry her baby girl fully to term and had a healthy pregnancy and easeful birth.
