The Benefits

“I’ve helped couples with a range of issues including endometriosis, PCOS, recurrent miscarriage, low ovarian reserve, poor egg and semen quality; but sometimes infertility can be unexplained, though in Chinese Medicine we always find a diagnosis.”

Experience these evidence-based improvements:

Better regulation of fertility hormones – stress can disrupt the function of hormones in the body. It is thought to influence female menstrual cycles (so ovulation and egg quality) and sperm quality (count, shape and motility). Repeated failures every month brings much stress, as does going through Assisted Reproduction such as IVF. Acupuncture counteracts these effects for both men and women.
Increased blood flow to the reproductive organs – one of the consequences of stress is decreased blood flow, so restricting nutrients and oxygen to growing eggs and sperm. This could impair the quality and so reduce the chances of successful conception. Research has seen increases in blood flow to the ovaries and womb, enhancing the womb lining to increase the chances of implantation.
Making you feel good – acupuncture increases your ‘happy hormones’ such as endorphins making you feel calm, light, unburdened – simply puts you in a good mood and leads to better, restorative sleep. This improves your health more generally.

How it Works

Preparing to conceive is very important. It helps you have the best possible pregnancy, birth and healthy baby. The egg and sperm take about three months to develop, so see this as your minimum preparation time where you can influence egg and sperm quality. Nutrition changes can take longer to affect the body fully, so thinking 4 to 6 months ahead is much better. Often making lifestyle changes is a gradual transition too, so give yourself this time.

Your mind and body preparation for conception starts with a consultation where we look at your medical history and review any test results, investigations and previous treatment. I’ll explain about acupuncture and you’ll have the opportunity to ask me questions. Following this consultation you’ll be given an feedback on your treatment, this might include dietary and lifestyle advice. Hormone tests may be required and this may influence your treatment. I may recommend you consult with a nutritionist or other relevant practitioners. I’m interested in measurable outcomes. We can do this by taking tests and retesting or looking at health indicators from your consultation. It tells me that both you and I are doing the right thing.

I booked my first acupuncture session with Tracey after almost two years of trying to get pregnant. Within 5 months of treatments it happened! Not only were we pregnant but we had conceived at a very stressful time in our lives: selling the flat, buying a house, doing a masters, working full time. I am convinced that it was the acupuncture that ensured the healthy pregnancy and eventual delivery of our lovely baby boy.

We’d been trying to have a baby for over a year when I thought I’d like to give acupuncture a try before going for NHS fertility treatment. Tracey’s calm and down to earth way was immediately re-assuring, as was her experience in this area. She reckoned that it would take three months of treatment minimum. I felt relaxed after each session but not majorly different overall, so I was still signed up for the NHS treatment. Three month later and exactly on the day that I had my NHS appointment, I found out that I was pregnant. Our lovely little son is now almost 12 weeks old and it is hard to believe in what a different place I was a year ago.

I started acupuncture after a miscarriage. At the age of 40 and with low ovarian reserve, I’d been told my chances of natural conception were low. At that point we had been trying for a baby for 18 months. I found Tracey compassionate and very knowledgeable, not just regarding acupuncture but fertility issues generally. It was also sometimes a relief to be able to speak to someone honestly about how I was feeling – going through the struggle of trying and failing to have a baby can be a lonely experience. It was Tracey who, on seeing my medical results, noted that my thyroid was a possible factor in struggling to conceive. She encouraged me to go back to my GP (who had previously dismissed me) and armed with a much better knowledge of how the thyroid can affect fertility, this time the doctor agreed it was an issue and was quick to prescribe medication. I fell pregnant naturally and am now 13 weeks pregnant. I do feel that acupuncture made a definite difference in how quickly I fell pregnant (compared to pre-acupuncture) and in supporting me to the vital 12 week mark. I also regularly dozed off whilst on the acupuncture table which I guess proves that being stuck with needles can be relaxing!
