Lifestyle
Although acupuncture is central to our treatment, we will combine this with lifestyle and dietary advice. Moxibustion and cupping may also be used alongside acupuncture treatment.

Timing
Plan ahead. The ideal time to begin acupuncture is three months before conception or an IVF cycle. This will ensure that your egg and sperm health is the best it can be, as both egg and sperm have a 90 day cycle. Do not worry though if you have missed this. There is good evidence to show that acupuncture later in the process will still improve your chances.

Support through pregnancy
We can offer support through your pregnancy. Treatment in pregnancy may be especially helpful if you have concerns about miscarriage, have morning sickness, or other problems during pregnancy. Some women have treatment so as to stay in their best state of health during pregnancy.
