Benefits of Fertility Acupuncture


For those navigating the emotional and physical complexities of fertility, acupuncture offers a non-invasive treatment that can significantly increase your chances of conceiving.

  • Supports hormonal balance

  • Regulates menstrual cycles

  • Enhances blood flow to reproductive organs

  • Reduces stress and anxiety

  • Improves egg quality

  • Improves sperm health

  • Increases your chance of conception via IVF by 15%

How Fertility Acupuncture Works


Acupuncture involves inserting fine, sterile, single-use needles at specific points to stimulate blood flow, encourage hormone balance, and improve reproductive health.

There is sometimes sensation when the needle is inserted, but otherwise fertility acupuncture is relatively painless, and patients report enjoying the treatment immensely and feeling relaxed afterwards.

Each session is tailored to address your unique needs and optimise your body for fertility.

What The Science Says


Studies have shown that acupuncture can positively influence fertility outcomes.

In particular there is a lot of data to show that when combining fertility acupuncture with conventional treatments like IVF, there is an approximately 15% increase in outcomes.

Research highlights acupuncture's role in improving endometrial thickness, ovarian response, and embryo implantation rates.

All the assisted fertility providers in New Zealand endorse fertility acupuncture for couples going through IVF, recognising acupuncture’s capacity to improve outcomes, reduce stress and improve uterine blood flow.
