Naturopathic Fertility Support
Fertility challenges affect 1 in 6 people in Canada. Naturopathic care can provide guidance, clarity, and support along the way.
You may benefit from fertility support if you…
Are planning to conceive
Are 35 or older
Have a history of fertility or reproductive challenges, including miscarriage, recurrent pregnancy loss, preterm birth, or stillbirth
Are preparing for or currently pursuing timed intercourse, IUI, or IVF
Experience menstrual concerns such as absent, irregular, or heavy periods
Are not ovulating or have been diagnosed with PCOS
Have been told there may be concerns with your uterus (such as fibroids or a thin endometrial lining)
Have known or suspected fallopian tube concerns (including blockages)
Are navigating hormonal imbalances (such as thyroid conditions or estrogen/progesterone irregularities)
Have endometriosis
Are experiencing early or premature menopause (before age 40)
You don’t need to have all the answers, support is available.
What Naturopathic Fertility Support May Look Like
Getting to the root cause. Understanding why conception hasn’t happened yet or why pregnancy loss may be occurring.
Identifying potential roadblocks. Looking at factors such as hormones, nutrition, stress, and overall health that may be impacting fertility.
Supporting whole-body reproductive health. Caring for egg, sperm, and uterine health to create the best possible environment for conception.
How Fertility Acupuncture Supports IVF
Acupuncture may be used alongside IVF, IUI, or natural conception to support circulation, nervous system regulation, and overall reproductive health.
Down-regulation phase: Acupuncture may support ovarian responsiveness, help regulate the stress response, and ease medication-related side effects.
Stimulation phase: Acupuncture is often used to support ovarian function and blood flow to the uterus, which may help promote a receptive endometrial lining.
After the trigger shot: Acupuncture may be used to support the body through final egg maturation and the transition toward retrieval.
Around embryo transfer: Acupuncture is commonly used to support uterine blood flow and nervous system regulation during this critical window.
During the two-week wait: Acupuncture may help reduce stress, support sleep, and promote overall balance while waiting for results.
Acupuncture is used as a complementary therapy and is designed to support, never replace, your existing fertility care.
