FERTILITY SUPPORT
Whether you are just starting your journey to parenthood or have been confronted with fertility struggles, our doctors have special training to provide primary support or complimentary care to assisted reproductive technology. Some conditions we provide support for include natural conception, IUI, IVF, embryo transfer, diminished ovarian reserve, and unexplained fertility.
What does a preconception appointment look like? If possible, before your appointment, talk to Kayla or Dr. Candace to discuss what kind of laboratory work you should bring to your appointment for Dr. Candace to review. This may includes hormone and thyroid panels, micronutrient panel, structural tests, and semen analysis. If your she thinks more recent labs or additional labs are warranted, we can help get those ordered. She will review your diet, lifestyle, and exercise and how this effects your fertility and work together to create a treatment plan.
In addition to acupuncture, Dr. Candace also offers Mercier Therapy to optimize reproductive wellness. This therapy is especially beneficial for those with previous abdominal surgery or scars, PCOS, endometriosis. Mercier Therapy is a gynovisceral manipulation technique that addresses scar tissue, adhesions, and the misalignment of pelvic organs. It increases blood flow and circulation to the pelvis. Read more about Mercier Therapy here and acupuncture here.
Whether you are scheduled for an embryo transfer this week or would like to optimize your fertility in hopes for a natural conception in 4-6 months, our doctors will meet you where you are at to support you on your journey to parenthood. Schedule an acupuncture appointment online.
