Using acupuncture for fertility issues
Many couples successfully use acupuncture along side traditional Chinese medicine to conceive. Karen Jefferies has undergone a number of specialist acupuncture training courses for fertility issues. She has years of experience and has helped many couples in and around Colchester to conceive. Karen uses a mix of acupuncture treatments and Chinese herbal medicine.
It can take up to 3 months of acupuncture fertility treatment to conceive
Whilst it’s not unusual for couples to conceive quickly with acupuncture fertility treatment, Karen usually advise couples to allow for about 3 months of treatment, (roughly 3 menstrual cycles). This is the time it takes to make real changes to both sperm quality and the menstrual cycle. [Read more about the menstrual cycle and fertility]
We use BBT (basal body temperature) charting, which not only provides valuable information on the hormonal state during the menstrual cycle, but also gives feedback on how fertility treatment is progressing. Downloadable BBT chart

ART (Assisted reproductive techniques)
There are cases where ART such as IVF is the only option for fertility issues. It may be in cases of previous ectopic pregnancy, azoospermia (very low or no sperm production) or for same sex couples. Acupuncture can still play a role in improving couples chances of conception and helping with fertility issues. [Read more about how acupuncture can support the IVF process]
