Support
Sessions coordinated with your IVF or IUI calendar, including medication phases and egg retrieval.

Fertility FAQ
When should I start acupuncture before IVF?
Many patients begin about two to three months before their cycle, since that allows several weeks of regular treatment. If your transfer is sooner, it’s still worth coming in — we’ll tailor a plan to your timeline.
Will acupuncture interfere with my fertility medications?
Acupuncture is designed to complement your medical treatment. Please share your full protocol with us, and we’ll coordinate timing and review any herbs carefully with your plan in mind.
Is acupuncture safe during pregnancy?
Yes, when performed by a licensed practitioner who adjusts point selection for pregnancy. Katie has extensive experience caring for patients through pregnancy.
Does insurance cover fertility acupuncture?
Coverage varies by plan. We accept most insurance plans that cover acupuncture — call our office and we’ll help check your benefits.
