Hi Emer, I got a positive pregnancy test over the weekend!! Cannot beliee it, still ovbiously very early days . I firmly believe I would not have a positive test only for your help, guidance and acupuncture! Is Acupuncture recommended during early pregnancy? best wishes, R
Answer - yes it is highly recommeded - as a general answer for this website - ideally weekly until 12 weeks if IVF, if natural conception then come when you need to. Once at the end of first trimester is beneficial for YIN /stores replenishment.
Fertility Offerings -

It takes 100 days for an egg to mature, with this in mind, I would like to treat you regularly over a 3 month period ideally, that is if time permits. This time is a wonderful way to get yourself feeling strong emotionally and physically.
I offer Acupunture sessions with the optional addition of Reiki/Naturopathy during IVF cycles times around stimming/downreg/egg collection/transfer day.

TCM consultations including Tongue Diagnosis.Dietary/Lifestyle and Supplementary advice based on TCM based on your Constitution and Fertility Situation.

There is plenty that Acupuncture, a healthy diet, and the correct lifestyle can do to set the follicles off on the right track.
Many of my clients who visit for Acupuncture have a feeling that a niggling health issue is holding them back from fulfilling their potential. Their complaint might be a combination of IBS and PMS, or an irregular cycle leading to confusion around whether you are ovulating or not, or maybe you are just stressed out and need to put your health first now that your career is well underway. Whatever it is, get in touch and we can plan the sessions around your needs. I do offer some evening slots at the clinic so you can come after work on certain days.
Acupuncture can greatly help or be supportive with the following conditions:
Irregular Menstrual Cycle, PMS, Stress, Insomnia, IBS

PCOS, Poor Lining

“We recommend that at the time of Embryo transfer, acupuncture treatments are arranged as close as possible either side of the transfer as studies have shown that clinical pregnancy rates can be increased to 42.5%, versus 26.3% without acupuncture”
“I started going to Emer in 2016 for fertility acupuncture after my partner and I had failed to have a successful pregnancy after 2 years. Emer was very sensitive to our situation and kept in regular contact with us between sessions to see how we were getting on. After nearly 4 months of regular visits we were delighted to find out that I was pregnant! We now have a beautiful, healthy 5 week old boy. Thank you Emer for helping us on our journey to become parents.”
