Acupuncture for Fertility, Pregnancy, & Postpartum
If you’re trying to conceive and looking for gentle and supportive care, fertility acupuncture can be a powerful part of your journey. Fountyn Acupuncture offers holistic fertility acupuncture in San Carlos designed to support hormonal balance, circulation, stress regulation, and overall reproductive health—whether you’re trying naturally or undergoing fertility treatments. I work closely with patients navigating conception, pregnancy loss, IVF, pregnancy, and postpartum recovery, offering care that is both evidence-informed and deeply individualized.
How Fertility Acupuncture Supports Conception
Fertility acupuncture works by supporting the body’s natural regulatory systems. Treatments are designed to:
Improve blood flow to the uterus and ovaries
Support healthy hormone signaling
Regulate the nervous system and stress response
Improve sleep and overall vitality
For many patients, acupuncture becomes a grounding, stabilizing anchor during what can otherwise feel like an overwhelming process.
Acupuncture for IVF, IUI & Assisted Reproduction
Many patients seek acupuncture alongside IVF or IUI. Fertility acupuncture is commonly used to:
Prepare the body before stimulation cycles
Support egg quality and uterine receptivity
Reduce stress during treatment cycles
Support the body before and after embryo transfer
Care is timed carefully to complement medical treatment while honoring your body’s natural rhythms.
Commonly Supported conditions
Unexplained Infertility
Acupuncture supports overall reproductive health by regulating hormones, improving circulation to the reproductive organs, and calming the nervous system when no single cause has been identified.
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
Acupuncture may help support more regular ovulation and hormone balance while reducing stress and inflammation commonly associated with PCOS.
Endometriosis
Treatment focuses on improving pelvic circulation, supporting hormonal balance, and reducing pain and inflammation that can interfere with conception.
Luteal Phase Defect
By supporting progesterone production and uterine lining health, acupuncture may help create a more supportive environment for implantation.
Irregular Menstrual Cycles
Acupuncture can help regulate the menstrual cycle by supporting communication between the brain, ovaries, and uterus.
Recurrent Pregnancy Loss
Acupuncture is often used to support uterine blood flow, hormonal stability, and nervous system regulation during preconception and early pregnancy.
IVF/IUI/Egg Freezing
Acupuncture is commonly used alongside IVF and IUI to support stress reduction, circulation, and overall physiological balance during treatment cycles.
Stress & Anxiety
Acupuncture helps regulate the stress response, which can positively influence hormone signaling, sleep quality, and reproductive function.
What Fertility Acupuncture Sessions Are Like
Sessions are quiet, unhurried, and deeply restorative. I practice very gentle needling and typically include:
Full-body acupuncture with electrical stimulation as needed
Celluma LLLT (Low-Level Laser Therapy)
Gua sha and herbal medicine as indicated
Each session is tailored to where you are in your cycle and your fertility journey. My San Carlos clinic serves patients from San Carlos, Redwood City, Belmont, San Mateo. Conveniently located for patients seeking fertility acupuncture on the Peninsula.
