Are you hoping to start a family but facing challenges? You’re not alone—infertility is more common than most people realize. In fact, the American Health Association reports that 1 in 6 people experience infertility, affecting both men and women. The good news? There are safe, natural, and effective options to support your fertility—acupuncture being one of them.
Common Causes of Infertility
Infertility can stem from a variety of factors, including:
-
Hormonal imbalances
-
Diet and exercise
-
Stress
-
Blood flow
-
Genetics
Acupuncture can help naturally address these root causes and improve your chances of conception. It can also be used alongside medical treatments like IVF (in vitro fertilization) and IUI (intrauterine insemination) to enhance results.
In fact, research shows that patients undergoing IVF alone have a 26% success rate, while those who combine IVF with acupuncture experience a 42% success rate.

For Women, acupuncture can help:

Increase blood flow to the reproductive organs

For Men, acupuncture can help:

When to Start Acupuncture for Fertility
Acupuncture supports fertility by improving blood flow, hormone balance, and the quality of both eggs and sperm. Stronger blood flow increases the likelihood that the egg will be nourished and carried to full term.
Because the development of healthy eggs occurs over a span of 20 to 90 days before ovulation, it’s recommended to begin acupuncture at least 3 months prior to trying to conceive.
Once you are pregnant, acupuncture is safe to continue and may help with common pregnancy symptoms while promoting a healthy, full-term pregnancy.
Conclusion
Infertility can be an emotionally and physically challenging journey—but you don’t have to face it alone. Acupuncture has shown a 65% success rate in helping reverse infertility in both men and women.
If you’re trying to start your family and are looking for a natural, effective, and supportive approach, acupuncture may be the solution for you.
