Fertility acupuncture in Wokingham, Berkshire

1. Introduction

If you are hoping to conceive naturally, acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine can significantly increase your chances of having a baby in a number of ways. Research has shown that acupuncture can regulate the menstrual cycle, improve blood flow to the uterus, aid implantation of the embryo, reduce stress and anxiety, and improve semen quality.

2. 3–4 month pre-conception care

Preparation for pregnancy can begin 3–4 months prior to conception. If both partners adopt a treatment plan including fertility acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine for at least 3–4 months beforehand, it is possible to have a positive impact on menstrual cycle health, egg quality and sperm quality, thereby increasing the overall chances of conceiving.

Personalised dietary, lifestyle and supplement advice will be given to both partners, based on the extensive research Dr (TCM) D'Alberto has reviewed whilst writing his books on infertility.

3. Fertility tests

We offer a range of fertility tests to assess both male and female fertility. These tests are conducted at our private laboratory in central London. You can read our frequently asked questions about acupuncture for infertility.

4. During pregnancy

We recommend weekly acupuncture during the first trimester, up to week 12, for those who have conceived naturally. These treatments support the foetus and help promote a healthy pregnancy, minimising complications during this important early stage.

For those who conceived through IVF, weekly sessions are recommended up to week 20 of pregnancy. Acupuncture can then be restarted at week 35 to help prepare the body for labour.
