Registered Acupuncture in Eglinton Upper Village, Toronto
Fertility acupuncture at DAOYI Wellness supports your body and mind through natural conception or assisted reproduction — working alongside your medical care, not in place of it.
What Is Fertility Acupuncture
Fertility acupuncture uses targeted acupuncture points to support reproductive health — helping regulate the menstrual cycle, improve blood flow to the ovaries and uterus, and calm the stress response that can affect hormonal balance. Whether you’re trying to conceive naturally or going through IUI or IVF, fertility acupuncture is designed to work alongside your medical team, not replace it. At DAOYI Wellness, our registered acupuncturists coordinate treatment timing around your specific fertility journey, and can combine acupuncture with Traditional Chinese Medicine approaches like herbal medicine for more complete support.
How Fertility Acupuncture Can Support Your Journey
- Regulating irregular or absent menstrual cycles
- Supporting healthy blood flow to the ovaries and uterus
- Reducing stress and anxiety during fertility treatment
- Complementing IUI and IVF protocols around key treatment milestones
- Supporting overall reproductive wellness for both partners
Because eggs and sperm take roughly 90 days to mature, many patients begin fertility acupuncture about 3 months before starting IVF or actively trying to conceive, though starting at any stage of your journey may still offer benefit.
What to Expect: Timing & Frequency
Fertility acupuncture is typically scheduled around your cycle and treatment plan:
- Preparation phase (before stimulation medications or while trying naturally): usually once weekly, to help regulate your cycle and support your body’s foundation
- During IVF stimulation: often increased to 1-3 sessions per week, timed around monitoring appointments
- Around embryo transfer: many patients schedule a session shortly before and after transfer, a timing pattern supported by several clinical reviews
- The two-week wait: a session during this period can help manage stress during an emotionally difficult time
Your practitioner will coordinate this schedule with your fertility clinic or reproductive endocrinologist if you’re undergoing medical treatment.

FAQ
01Does fertility acupuncture guarantee pregnancy?
No — fertility acupuncture is a complementary support, not a guarantee or a replacement for medical fertility treatment. It’s designed to support your body and reduce stress alongside whatever path you’re on, whether that’s trying naturally or working with a fertility clinic.
02When should I start fertility acupuncture before IVF?
Many patients start around 3 months before beginning IVF, since egg and sperm development takes roughly that long — though starting at any point in your journey may still be beneficial.
03Is fertility acupuncture safe during IVF medications?
Yes — acupuncture is generally considered safe alongside fertility medications and is meant to work in coordination with your medical team, not interfere with your protocol.
04Is fertility acupuncture covered by insurance?
Many extended health plans cover acupuncture performed by a registered acupuncturist. DAOYI Wellness offers direct billing for most major providers — confirm your specific coverage with us.
