Comprehensive Fertility Acupuncture Support

At our practice, we go the extra mile to help you achieve your dream family. We don’t just specialise in fertility acupuncture treatments– we also offer a comprehensive review of any factors that could impact fertility success. Together, let’s explore what can be done so you and your baby will have the best chance of starting a beautiful life together!

1

Lifestyle barriers to fertility

Our acupuncture for fertility treatment approach includes a detailed review of all lifestyle factors associated with infertility, including:

  • diet
  • supplements
  • weight
  • exercise
  • stress
  • alcohol
  • smoking
  • intercourse frequency and timing, etc.

But, we will not give you a long list of expensive fertility supplements to take or complicated diets to follow. We will only recommend small easy to implement changes proven to improve fertility.

2

Medical barriers to conception

To ensure that nothing has been missed, we will check for signs of medical conditions that can reduce fertility.

If you’ve already had infertility investigations, we will review your test results to check if anything has been overlooked.

If necessary, we will recommend additional fertility tests and advise on how to arrange them.

Our fertility acupuncturist, Irina Szmelskyj, has detailed knowledge of infertility diagnostic tests and how to interpret them. She lectures about fertility tests to other acupuncturists, doctors and consultants nationally and internationally.

3

Previous pregnancies (if applicable)

Experiencing a past pregnancy, whether in this or another relationship, can help identify potential issues with conceiving now. We understand the sensitive nature of such topics and guarantee that any information shared will be kept confidential for your peace of mind.

4

Family fertility history

Fertility-related medical conditions can have a hereditary component, which is why we will be looking into your reproductive and obstetric family history. Taking the time to understand this part of your background may open up new paths in assisting you with any fertility issues you are having!

5

Fertility acupuncture diagnosis

Fertility acupuncture is a holistic treatment, so we will assess every system in your body to see if everything is working as well as it should.

It’s not unusual for a patient to be “fit and healthy” from a conventional medical point of view only to have imbalances that need to be treated from an acupuncture perspective.

6

Acupuncture for fertility treatment plan

Once we have all the essential information, we will plan your fertility acupuncture treatment. In addition to acupuncture, your plan may include the following:

  • Easy to implement steps to reduce or eliminate modifiable barriers to conception
  • A referral for any additional infertility tests, and
  • Recommendations regarding assisted reproductive treatments such as IVF (if appropriate).
7

Ongoing support

At our fertility acupuncture clinic, we strive to provide not just treatment but the emotional support necessary during challenging times. We know that going through infertility is an extremely difficult process- mentally, physically, and emotionally- which is why we offer unlimited email and emergency phone support as part of our acupuncture for fertility treatment.

What Our Fertility Acupuncture patients say

Irina is very enthusiastic and always did her best to help us with fertility issues. We got pregnant naturally in the end after some acupuncture treatments with Irina and now I’m 8 months pregnant with a healthy baby girl. I had two miscarriages and a failed IVF cycle before I booked a free phone consultation with Irina. Initially I was hoping the acupuncture might help our second IVF cycle but we didn’t need the IVF in the end. Irina did not only give me acupuncture treatments but also gave me some useful advice on what to eat or do in our lifestyle which normally a fertility clinic doesn’t really care, but actually I think it is very important.She treated me after I found out I was pregnant as well to prevent another miscarriage, also to reduce the terrible morning sickness I had. Irina’s knowledge and experience helped us and we thank her very much! We recommend her to anyone who is trying for a baby or has any issues with their health.

I am now in my 4th month of working with Irina, and I cannot recommend her acupunture services highly enough. She has truly gone above and beyond to get to know the complexities of my particular case - including conducting research outside of our appointment times and even helping me to find an acupuncturist in another city so I wouldn't have to miss a week of treatment while traveling. She is absolutely committed to helping her patients achieve successful outcomes.
