Acupuncture and Pregnancy:

Acupuncture increases blood flow to the ovaries to help nourish the developing follicles and create better  quality eggs and stronger embryos. It normalizes the function of the Hypothalamus-Pituitary-Ovarian axis to regulate and improve the body’s natural hormonal production which in turn improves ovarian function and egg quality.  Acupuncture relaxes the body and reduces stress levels (elevated stress can prohibit conception by blocking blood flow to the reproductive organs, causing an imbalance in hormonal production, thus resulting in irregular menstrual cycles, lack of ovulation, high FSH levels, poor ovarian production, and diminished egg quality).
 
For women undergoing Assisted Reproductive Technology:

A series of acupuncture treatments are given 4 weeks prior to the IVF cycle in order to increase blood flow, balance hormones and reduce stress hormones that can have a negative impact on fertility rates during IVF. These treatments can assist in creating a thicker uterine lining and increased follicular maturation leading up to and during an IVF cycle.
 
When women are injecting the Follicle Stimulating Hormone medications like (Menopur, Gonal- F, Bravelle, Follistim,etc.), the increased blood flow can increase the efficacy of these drugs and decrease the cost associated with these expensive medications during an IVF cycle.
 
Acupuncture can also do the following:
  • Increase the quantity and quality of follicles during maturation

  • Increase blood flow to the uterus to increase uterine lining thickness and improve implantation

  • Improve blood flow to the reproductive organs and prevent uterus contractions after embryo transfer

  • Help to prevent OHS(Ovarian Hyper-stimulation Syndrome) and reduce side-effects

  • Diminish or eliminate side-effects of pharmaceuticals associated with Fertility

  • Decrease the chances of miscarriage by improving blood flow and relaxing the uterus

  • Strengthen the immune system

  • Ease emotional fluctuations and reduce stress associated with Infertility

  • Improve Male issues such as Sperm Count, Motility and Morphology

What Our Clients Are Saying

"
Anabelle truly is a gift in my life. She has a beautiful balance of deep knowledge of acupuncture, as well as Integrative Medicine, and a very intuitive approach. I personally love visiting Anabelle once a month simply to stay totally balanced. I always leave feeling peaceful, calm, healed, happy and balanced by Anabelle's energy and love for what she does."

"My 14 year-old daughter has hyperhydrosis and I wanted to try a non-invasive treatment form. Annabelle was very calm and gentle. She made my daughter feel comfortable and relaxed. She gave my daughter some dietary guidelines to follow as well. After the first treatment, my daughter noticed less sweating in her hands. She feels more confident and enjoys her visits with Anabelle."

"
I started working with Anabelle when I started the process of IVF. I had heard that acupuncture can be a great alternative therapy in conjunction with fertility treatments so I decided to give it a try. Upon meeting Annabelle, it was clear she was knowledgeable about fertility treatments and gave me lifestyle and nutritional advice to assist me with the process.  I followed Annabelle's lifestyle and nutritional advice in addition to meeting with her on a weekly basis for acupuncture treatments. The results? I am currently 14 weeks pregnant after my first IVF treatment! I am so grateful to have found Annabelle. I truly believe that my sessions with her helped me become pregnant after my first IVF treatment. She even helped to calm some terrible morning sickness that I was experiencing during the first trimester. I can not recommend Anabelle enough!"
