Fertility

I'M SO GLAD YOU'VE FOUND STILLWATER!  

 

Don't despair and please don't label yourself infertile-- you're just not pregnant YET.  

​

There are many natural treatments that will help you increase fertility. Acupuncture and other natural remedies are very effective at helping couples with fertility issues. Stillwater has a very high success rate helping women conceive.  

 

Fertility acupuncture always involves dietary recommendations, supplement suggestions and lifestyle advice.

At Stillwater, two-thirds of acupuncture patients who conceived did so naturally and one-third have conceived with the help of IVF or IUI.

What conditions may improve with acupuncture?

 

Stillwater works with patients who've been diagnosed with:

 

    unexplained infertility (60% of diagnoses)

    male infertility

    PCOS

    fibroids

    endometriosis

    blocked fallopian tubes

    uterine cysts

    frequent miscarriage  

​

We've had success with all of these conditions, and give each patient an individualized treatment plan according to their unique diagnosis.

​

How does acupuncture work to increase fertility?

​

It's well-documented that acupuncture has a positive effect on fertility and pregnancy outcomes. Studies have shown that this is because acupuncture:

​

  • notably improves the function of ovaries, producing higher quality eggs.  This is important for older moms wanting to conceive

  • balances hormone levels and regulates the endocrine system

  • increases the blood flow to reproductive organs including the uterus, which can increase the thickness of the uterine lining to help with implantation, reducing miscarriage

  • relaxes the muscles in the uterine wall to help ensure implantation

  • relaxes and de-stresses the whole body

  • prevents contractions early in pregnancy and post-IVF transfer which helps to prevent early miscarriage

  • increases blood flow in male patients to increase sperm production and the quality of spermatic fluid.
