FERTILILTY ACUPUNCTURE
IVF, IUI &
Egg Freezing
PERSONALIZED ACUPUNCTURE CARE THAT WORKS ALONGSIDE YOUR FERTILITY TEAM.
Whether you're undergoing IVF, preparing for IUI or freezing your eggs, Coreen works alongside the care you're receiving from your fertility clinic. Treatment is adapted to where you are in your fertility protocol while also considering your overall health and well-being.
Where are you in your fertility journey?
IVF
Coreen generally recommends beginning acupuncture about three months before starting IVF, when possible, with care typically beginning weekly.
Already in your IVF cycle? Care can begin at any point and is adapted to where you are in your treatment protocol.
IUI
Coreen generally recommends beginning acupuncture about two months before starting IUI, when possible, with care typically beginning weekly.
Already started treatment? Care can begin during the process and is adapted to your fertility treatment schedule.
EGG FREEZING
For patients planning to freeze their eggs, Coreen generally recommends beginning acupuncture two to three months before retrieval, when possible.
​
Already in your cycle? You’re welcome to begin care at any point in the process.
Acupuncture That Works Alongside Your Fertility Care
Coreen is accustomed to working with patients receiving care from fertility clinics throughout the Bay Area. Your fertility treatment informs your acupuncture care. Coreen may ask about:
Medication Schedule
Ultrasound
Results
Follicle
Development
Uterine Lining
Retrieval & Transfer Dates
PGT-A Results
Whole-Person Support During ART
Fertility treatment can affect much more than your reproductive system.
Coreen's Traditional Chinese Medicine approach considers your overall well-being including:
Stress
Energy
Sleep
Nutrition
Digestion
Overall Health
Depending on your individual needs, treatment may include acupuncture and complementary modalities such as cupping, gua sha or LED therapy.
What about Chinese herbs?
Coreen respects the treatment parameters established by fertility physicians and clinics. Only outside of active fertility treatment does she consider their usage.
A Place to Step Away
From the Process
Fertility treatment can involve medications, testing, appointments, procedures and considerable uncertainty.
​
Coreen doesn't want acupuncture to become one more thing you have to manage.
​
Your appointments are designed to provide time to rest, decompress and feel supported during the process. You don't need to prepare for your treatment or arrive knowing all the right questions.
You just need to show up.
Familiar With Bay Area Fertility Care
Because fertility represents a significant part of Coreen's practice, she regularly works with patients receiving care from different fertility clinics throughout the Bay Area.
​
She is familiar with many of the treatment protocols and works within the parameters established by your fertility team.
PERSONALIZED CARE. ONE PRACTITIONER.
EVERY STEP OF THE WAY.
Already IVF, IUI or Egg Freezing?
Don't worry if you didn't begin acupuncture months before your fertility treatment.
​
While there can be benefits to beginning acupuncture earlier, Coreen will meet you wherever you are in the process and tailor your care to your current stage of treatment.
