Fertility Acupuncture

Starting a family and bringing a new little person into the world is both a fulfilling and daunting stage of life. Usually the conception and pregnancy process works very smoothly, but there can be occasions where difficulties come into play. Fertility acupuncture treatment is a calming and natural support for couples and individuals who are looking to conceive and can help with physical aspects such as encouraging blood flow to the uterus and ovaries. I often see people with conditions such as PCOS or endometriosis or who have suffered with miscarriage, but equally many have had no medical conditions identified at all.

I have a wealth of experience to share, having worked with hundreds of patients, providing support and guidance on their fertility journey, whether trying naturally to conceive, undergoing medical tests, or embarking on an assisted reproductive techniques such as IVF. I recommend commencing acupuncture as soon as possible, as in practice, maximal benefit is obtained with regular treatment over several weeks to balance hormones, relieve stress and encourage blood flow.

IVF Support

A typical treatment plan where an assisted reproductive technique, such as IVF or ICSI, is imminent or already underway, is to have acupuncture weekly until the day of embryo transfer and then a treatment adminstered as close as possible before and after the transfer.

Testimonials

"Like many women, I endured a very long journey of fertility which included many rounds of IVF but eventually, I was lucky enough to have two daughters (born 3 years apart), who were conceived from a donor egg. Bea supported me through the hardest times - from the moment it was clear that IVF with my own eggs was not an option all the way to the birth of my second daughter. She was a key member of my medical team. Her sessions during the tough treatments, throughout both pregnancies and even beyond helped to keep me on track emotionally - and, I strongly believe, physiologically. I heartily recommend Bea as an exceptional acupuncture practitioner - she has a calm, professional manner and her expertise is second-to-none." S.S.

"I decided to have acupuncture whilst I was undergoing IVF. It was my first experience with the treatment & Bea made me feel very comfortable & relaxed-which was a in itself an important factor. I now have a beautiful healthy baby girl & would recommend Bea if you were considering acupuncture." T.B.

"My course of acupuncture with Bea Masters was a fantastic experience. Bea is a lovely, calming presence and her holistic approach to my treatment felt sensible and appropriate. I am incredibly grateful to Bea for the role her treatment played in helping me to conceive my first child. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Bea and look forward to being treated by her again in the future. " S.C.

" I came to Bea for treatment in the winter of 2010 to help regulate my periods and improve my chances of conceiving. Bea was great at helping me relax and after a series of questions and a brief examination was able to pick up on all my body's 'weak' spots, such as anemia which was later confirmed in blood tests. I didn't get the chance to see if the treatment helped regulate my periods as I fell pregnant on my next cycle!"R.L.

"Me and my husband were told by our fertility doctor that we had unexplained infertility and the chances of conceiving after two years was very slim. They said that after 3 years we could have IVF. That is when I found Bea. I wanted to get my body as healthy as possible and had read that acupuncture during IVF increases the chances of egg implantation being successful. Bea talked through everything with me in a calm and reassuring manner. We found that my body seemed conflicted - I showed lots of signs of being both hot and cold. Bea therefore began working on regulating my body temperature along with relieving stress and trying to regulate my cycles. I found that my cycles became more regular and after a few months of going regularly I became pregnant naturally! I will be using Bea in the later stages of pregnancy and am always recommending her to friends". L.B.
