Choosing embryo adoption is a more unique path to parenthood—one that often comes with complex physical and mental demands.

Our treatment plans are tailored to align with each phase of your IVF cycle, helping you feel grounded and empowered.
Embryo Adoption Cycle Acupuncture Protocol
Preconception Phase (1–2 Months Before Transfer)
Weekly acupuncture treatments regulate hormones, enhance blood flow to the uterus, and help create an ideal environment for implantation.
Stimulation Phase (Concurrent to taking estrogen)
We recommend twice-weekly sessions to build a healthy uterine lining, manage side effects, and support emotional well-being.
Transfer Day
We provide two treatments within 24 hours—one before and one after transfer—to reduce uterine contractions and support implantation.
Post-Transfer Phase (5–7 Days After)
A final follow-up session calms the nervous system, boosts blood flow, and helps maintain a nurturing uterine environment for early pregnancy.
Support for Your Unique Fertility Journey
Whether this is your first embryo addition cycle or you are pursuing a sibling transfer, our experienced team offers compassionate, evidence-based care.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Acupuncture can enhance success rates by increasing blood flow to the uterus, supporting hormone regulation, and helping improve uterine lining receptivity for implantation. It also reduces stress to help make the cycle a little bit easier.
-
While you can begin at any stage of the cycle, including the day of embryo transfer, we recommend beginning 1–2 months before your transfer cycle. Weekly sessions during this time help regulate hormones and prepare your body. During estrogen therapy, twice-weekly treatments are advised to support optimal lining development and minimize medication side effects.
-
Yes. Acupuncture is very safe when performed by a licensed practitioner. Treatments before and after the transfer have been shown to reduce uterine contractions, lower stress, and improve implantation outcomes.
