The ability to make life is a special milestone for so many. Whether you are just starting on this path, or have been struggling with fertility, we are so honored you are here and are considering us to play a part in it. For Charleston residents seeking fertility support, Turning Point Acupuncture is here to assist you on your journey.

Troubles with fertility can arise for several reasons, including

  • Anovulation

  • Poor egg quality

  • Hypothyroid

  • Endometriosis

  • PCOS

  • Hormone imbalance

  • Poor sperm count or quality

  • Amenorrhea (loss of menstrual periods)

We encourage patients to work with us and their gynecological and healthcare team to find the cause of difficulty with conception.

Acupuncture has been used to assist fertility for thousands of years. Acupuncture can help you conceive by

  • Improving hormonal balance

  • Improving endometrial lining

  • Increasing uterine blood flow

  • Improving egg and sperm quality

  • Reducing stress

  • Improving sleep

Acupuncture and IUI/IVF

Studies have shown that acupuncture and IVF when used together have higher success rates compared to IVF treatment alone. IVF can be a daunting and stressful process, acupuncture helps by

  • Keeping stress and anxiety lower

  • Helping to thicken endometrial lining

  • Improving egg and sperm quality

  • Reducing cramping post IVF transfer

For Fertility Acupuncture treatments to be most effective, we recommend weekly treatments for 2-3 menstrual cycles to regulate the period and confidently increase chances of conception. Its always better to start sooner rather than later, but we are happy to meet you wherever you are in your fertility journey and will do our best to assist you.

We recommend that at bare minimum for IUI and IVF patients acupuncture is done as soon before the egg transfer as possible and the day after transfer.
