For those on a fertility journey, the process can feel overwhelming, emotional, and at times, uncertain. Whether you’re trying to conceive naturally, preparing for IVF, or managing conditions like PCOS or endometriosis, holistic support can make a profound difference. Understanding how acupuncture supports fertility can be a key part of that support. At Aphrodite Fertility, we believe in a science-backed, deeply personalized approach to reproductive health. Our San Diego-based clinic specializes in acupuncture for fertility, prenatal care, pregnancy, and postpartum recovery, offering compassionate and expert care every step of the way.

The Science Behind Acupuncture and Fertility

Acupuncture has been used for centuries to support reproductive health, and modern research continues to validate its effectiveness. By stimulating specific points in the body, acupuncture enhances blood flow to the reproductive organs, regulates hormones, and reduces stress—all of which are critical for conception. If you’re seeking qualified fertility acupuncturists, consider the benefits of this traditional practice.

At Aphrodite Fertility, our tailored treatments are designed to:

• Improve ovarian function by enhancing blood circulation to the ovaries and uterus.
• Regulate menstrual cycles and address hormonal imbalances that can impact ovulation.
• Support embryo implantation by promoting optimal uterine lining health.
• Reduce inflammation associated with conditions like PCOS and endometriosis.
• Enhance sperm quality in male fertility cases by improving motility and count.

Acupuncture for IVF and IUI Support

For those undergoing assisted reproductive treatments like IVF and IUI, acupuncture can be a powerful complement. Studies suggest that acupuncture performed before and after embryo transfer can improve implantation rates. At Aphrodite Fertility, we work closely with leading San Diego fertility clinics to ensure our treatments align seamlessly with your medical protocol.

Our approach includes:

• Pre-IVF Priming: Acupuncture sessions leading up to IVF to enhance egg quality and endometrial receptivity.
• Transfer Day Support: Carefully timed treatments to optimize implantation success.
• Post-Transfer Relaxation: Stress reduction techniques to support a calm and receptive body post-transfer.

Addressing Common Fertility Challenges

We understand that fertility is deeply personal, and challenges vary from person to person. Our expert acupuncturists—Emily Marson, Ghoncheh Ayazi, and Chloé Banales—are experienced in treating a range of reproductive health conditions, including:

• PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome): Acupuncture helps regulate cycles, balance hormones, and reduce insulin resistance.
• Endometriosis: Treatments target inflammation and pain management while improving uterine receptivity.
• Unexplained Infertility: Acupuncture works holistically to optimize overall fertility, even when conventional tests show no clear cause.
• Male Factor Infertility: We provide treatments that improve sperm count, morphology, and motility.

Emotional Well-Being and Fertility

Trying to conceive can be an emotional rollercoaster, filled with highs and lows. At Aphrodite Fertility, we recognize that emotional health is just as important as physical well-being. Our treatments are designed not only to support fertility but also to foster relaxation, reduce stress, and enhance overall mental health. Many of our patients describe their acupuncture sessions as a moment of peace—a chance to reset, refocus, and feel supported.
