Trying to conceive can feel like a sacred quest. It’s emotional, intimate, and sometimes filled with unanswered questions. If you’re searching for a more holistic path to support your fertility, you are not alone. More and more women are turning to acupuncture in Newbury and thatcham to reconnect with their bodies, restore balance, and create the ideal internal environment for conception.
At Raise Your Gaze, I offer deeply personalised, energetically attuned fertility care grounded in the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Feel connected to your body, your cycle, and your inner rhythm again.
What Is Acupuncture for Fertility?
Acupuncture for fertility is a specialised form of Chinese medicine that uses ultra-fine needles to stimulate specific points on the body. These points correspond with the body’s energetic meridians and organ systems, helping to:
• Regulate hormone levels
• Improve blood flow to the uterus and ovaries
• Support egg quality and ovulation
• Promote a healthy menstrual cycle
• Calm the nervous system and reduce stress
• Enhance the chances of natural conception or IVF success
Whether you’re at the beginning of your fertility journey or already working with fertility clinics, acupuncture can offer gentle and effective support.
How Acupuncture Supports Fertility from a TCM Perspective
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, fertility relies on the smooth flow of Qi and Blood, a strong Kidney system, and emotional harmony. When these are out of balance, conception may be delayed or feel out of reach.
Here are some of the ways acupuncture helps:
Regulates the Menstrual Cycle
Irregular, painful, or missing periods can indicate an underlying imbalance. Acupuncture helps restore rhythm by addressing Liver Qi stagnation, nourishing Blood, and tonifying the Kidneys.
Supports Egg Quality and Ovulation
Acupuncture improves blood circulation to the reproductive organs. This can enhance follicular development, support ovulation, and prepare the body for conception.
Enhances Uterine Lining and Implantation
By encouraging better blood flow to the uterus, acupuncture can help thicken the endometrial lining and increase receptivity for implantation.
Reduces Stress and Emotional Overload
Trying to conceive can take a toll on emotional wellbeing. Acupuncture is known to regulate the nervous system, ease anxiety, and restore a sense of calm. This emotional balance is an essential part of the fertility puzzle.
Complements IVF and Assisted Fertility Treatments
Clinical studies suggest that acupuncture before and after embryo transfer may improve success rates. It can also help regulate the cycle during fertility medication and support the body during the two-week wait.
When Should You Start Acupuncture for Fertility?
Ideally, begin acupuncture three months before trying to conceive or undergoing IVF. However, it’s never too late to start. Even a short course of treatment can positively influence cycle regularity, stress levels, and overall vitality.
A Signature Experience at Raise Your Gaze
My approach is not rushed or routine. Each session is a chance to come back to yourself. You’ll receive acupuncture tailored to your unique constitution, along with holistic lifestyle guidance and a safe space to share whatever you’re holding.
Here we go beyond the physical to emotional witnessing and energetic recalibration, designed to help you feel whole, seen, and more at home in your body.
Is Acupuncture Safe During Pregnancy?
Yes. Acupuncture is safe throughout pregnancy when provided by a trained and qualified practitioner. Many women continue treatment in the first trimester to ease early symptoms, reduce miscarriage risk, and promote a healthy pregnancy journey.
