Menstrual cycle support begins with educating each patient about the phases of their menstrual cycle including not only the period of bleeding but also the main event, Ovulation.

Acupuncture is an evidence based treatment for PCOS that can be considered to improve quality of life to manage symptoms including supporting Ovulation and a regular monthly cycle.
Endometriosis
Traditional Chinese Medicine methods including Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal medicine provide a low risk and evidence based treatment for Endometriosis management.
Post Pill Support
Treatment ideally begins 3 months before coming off the OCP. At a minimum, we recommend patients to begin treatment 1 month before intending to come off the OCP.
Fertility Acupuncture
Acupuncture for fertility supports the cycle by encouraging regular Ovulation leading to a regular menstrual cycle of 28 – 35 days with a healthy bleed.

Acupuncture for fertility and IVF support ideally begins before your first stimulated IVF cycle although Acupuncture treatment can begin at any stage of your assisted reproduction journey.
