Your Path to
Support During Assisted Reproductive Treatments (ART)
If you’re going through fertility treatment, whether it’s IVF, IUI, or another form of ART, your body and mind are under a lot of pressure. At Appleton Acupuncture & Wellness, we offer care that works alongside your medical treatment and supports your well-being through each step of the process.
Our approach is always personalized. We work with your timeline, your cycle, and your specific needs to help you feel more balanced and supported both physically and emotionally.
Whether you’re in the early stages of stimulation, preparing for transfer, or recovering afterward, we are here to help you stay steady and give your body the best possible environment for success.
IVF Support
Once you’ve started treatment with your fertility doctor, the process can feel intense. Our job is to support your body through it with care that works alongside your medical treatment.
At Appleton Acupuncture & Wellness, we customize each plan to match your cycle, whether you’re doing a fresh or frozen transfer. We focus on supporting your body through each phase—helping you stay calm, balanced, and ready for what’s next.
Our care is designed to work with your medications and timing. The goal is to support blood flow, reduce stress, and give your body the best possible environment for implantation and pregnancy.
We can also help with symptoms that often show up during treatment, like migraines, digestive issues, and period pain. These are common and often connected to the same imbalances that affect fertility.
If you’re preparing for a transfer or already in a medicated cycle, schedule your consultation and we’ll create a plan that fits your needs.
Holistic Support for IUI
If you’re in the middle of IUI treatment with your OB or reproductive endocrinologist, our care can be a valuable addition to your cycle. We work alongside your medical treatment to support your body and mind through each phase.
At Appleton Acupuncture & Wellness, we customize every plan based on your timeline, your medications, and where you are in the process. Our goal is to support follicle development, improve blood flow, and help your body feel as balanced and receptive as possible.
This is not a one-size-fits-all approach. We pay close attention to how you’re feeling physically and emotionally and adjust care as needed.
We can also help with symptoms that often show up alongside fertility struggles, like migraines, painful periods, digestive issues, or fatigue. These are more common than most people realize, and they often respond well to the kind of care we provide.
If you’re preparing for or actively going through an IUI cycle, schedule a consultation and we’ll create a plan that supports your next step forward.

Frequently Asked Questions
Ideally, you’ll want to start acupuncture about three months before your IVF or IUI cycle. That’s because it takes around 90 days for an egg to fully mature so giving your body that lead time can improve egg quality, hormone balance, and uterine blood flow. Studies show that when women begin acupuncture ahead of IVF, pregnancy rates can jump from around 28% to 53%, and live birth rates can rise from 16% to 42%.
If your cycle is already underway, don’t worry, starting now can still help. Even when acupuncture is limited to just a few key sessions during stimulation and on transfer day, studies have shown success rates increasing by 6% to 10%.
For IUI, studies show that adding acupuncture during the cycle raised pregnancy rates from 39% to 66% and increased live births from 27% to 41%.
So whether you’re planning ahead or already in treatment, acupuncture can make a meaningful difference. Starting sooner simply gives us more time to prepare your body for success.
Yes. Acupuncture does not interfere with your medications. We work alongside your reproductive endocrinologist and adjust point selection to complement whatever protocol you are following.
Age affects baseline success rates for any fertility treatment, but the relative boost from acupuncture is similar across age groups. Women over 38 often see meaningful gains because improved ovarian blood flow can help egg quality.
Yes, and we encourage it. Acupuncture can improve sperm quality and motility while lowering stress, giving the entire cycle a stronger foundation.
Side effects are rare and mild, most often a tiny bruise or fleeting soreness at a needle site. Because we use sterile, single-use needles, infection risk is almost nonexistent.
