Great blog post from about how acupuncture can influence fertility outcomes!

ACUPUNCTURE AND INFERTILITY

Acupuncture has been used in China for centuries to improve reproductive health. Modern research is now confirming that acupuncture does increase fertility. A meta-analysis published in the British Medical Journal reviewing seven research studies of acupuncture used in conjunction with in vitro fertilization (IVF) found acupuncture increased the chance of pregnancy by 65 percent. This study identified acupuncture impacts fertility in the following ways:

Helps with the release of neurotransmitters, which may stimulate secretion of gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH). This hormone is key to a woman’s menstrual cycle/ovulation.
Stimulates blood flow to the uterus by inhibiting uterine central sympathetic nerve activity.
Stress reduction. When people are under high stress, the hormone cortisol is released in the brain. This alters the brain’s neurochemical balance changing hormone levels and disrupting the balance that is key to the reproductive cycle. Some studies have also shown that stress can create spasms in both the fallopian tubes and the uterus, which can interfere with movement and implantation of a fertilized egg.
In addition, various other research studies have found that acupuncture can impact fertility in the following ways:

Increased pregnancy rates in IVF
Improved blood flow to the ovaries
Improved thickness in the endometrial lining
Regulation of the menstrual cycle and female hormones
Reduced risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome in IVF
Improvements in s***m quality
If you are having difficulty getting pregnant, you might want to consider acupuncture. It’s worth exploring both Western and Eastern medicine treatment options for the best chance of success. Acupuncture is safe, relatively pain-free and is beneficial to both men and women.

To the men carrying silent hopes this Father’s Day…

Today can be heavy for those walking the road of infertility. You may not have a child in your arms, but your love, your longing, and your courage matter deeply.

Being a dad isn’t just biology—it’s heart. It’s the sleepless nights of wishing. The quiet strength of showing up. The bravery to hope again tomorrow.

You are seen. You are not alone. And you are worthy of honor today. 💙
