Acupuncture can be started any time for fertility; however it is best if Acupuncture treatments are initiated one to three months prior to starting fertility medication, intrauterine insemination (IUI) and in preparation for in vitro fertilization (IVF) or frozen embryo transfer (FET). Each treatment is individually customized into packages of single sessions or 4, 6 or 12 sessions. We also offer the before and after acupuncture for the embryo transfer day, which has shown to increase success rates by almost 50-65%.
With multiple session packages, we generally have acupuncture treatments 2-3 times weekly during a current cycle and try to schedule on days you are already scheduled to be in the office. If you are starting earlier than the current cycle, than we do 1 treatment weekly unless more is needed, which is determined on a case by case basis.
