What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is one of the most well-known TCM therapies, using fine, sterile needles to stimulate energy pathways (meridians) in the body. Safe and virtually painless, it helps restore harmony and support natural healing.

Acupuncture is widely used to support reproductive health. By improving blood circulation, balancing hormones, and reducing stress, it creates a healthier environment for conception.

What to Expect in a Session

Your first session begins with a thorough consultation. Our practitioner will review your medical history, lifestyle, and fertility journey, followed by tongue and pulse diagnosis. A customized acupuncture plan will then be created for you.

During treatment:

Fine, sterile needles are gently inserted into specific points.
The session usually lasts 30–40 minutes.
Most patients find it deeply relaxing, often falling asleep during treatment.

For best results, we recommend 1–2 sessions per week for 3–6 months, depending on your fertility goals and whether you are preparing for natural conception, IVF, or IUI.

Frequently Asked Question

How long is each acupuncture session?

Each session typically lasts 45–60 minutes. This includes a short consultation, pulse/tongue diagnosis, and the acupuncture itself (usually 20–30 minutes of needle retention while you rest). Your first session may take slightly longer.

Is acupuncture painful?

No. The needles are very thin, and most patients feel only a slight pinch or no discomfort at all.

Is acupuncture safe?

Yes, acupuncture is very safe when performed by licensed practitioners. Our team is professionally trained in both Traditional Chinese Medicine and modern safety standards.

At Xi Fertility & Women’s Health TCM Centre, we use single-use, sterile needles and follow strict hygiene protocols.

How long should I do acupuncture before trying to conceive?

Ideally, we recommend starting 3 months before trying to conceive or beginning IVF. This allows time to regulate your cycle, strengthen the uterus, and improve egg (and sperm) quality.

Can I do acupuncture alongside IVF or medications?

Yes. Acupuncture can be safely combined with IVF, IUI, or fertility medications. In fact, many fertility doctors encourage it to improve outcomes and reduce side effects.

Can my husband benefit from fertility acupuncture too?

Yes. Acupuncture can improve sperm quality, motility, and overall vitality in men. It also helps reduce stress and support hormone balance.

Acupuncture can help regulate insulin, reduce cravings, and rebalance hormones. It works best as part of a long-term, holistic plan that may include herbal prescription, nutrition guidance, and stress reduction.

You may expect steady and sustainable changes over 2–3 months — including improved cycles, clearer skin, better mood, and gradual weight loss.
