Inner Peace Acupuncture & Wellness A Holistic Approach To Wellness

Female Infertility

There is no such thing as infertility according to Chinese Medicine.  All women are essentially fertile when her energetics are in proper balance.  Problems arise when there is an energy obstruction leading to difficulties in conceiving.  At Inner Peace Acupuncture & Wellness, a Fertility Acupuncturist will help to identify the imbalances that are impeding conception and customize a Fertility Enhancement Program to help you correct those imbalances and conceive naturally. 

Adrienne Wei, L.Ac. FABORM, is an expert in the treatment of infertility and women's health.  She has received advanced training in the areas of reproductive medicine and has studied with world renowned fertility specialists.  She is a Board Certified Fertility Acupuncturist and a Fellow of the American Board of Oriental Reproductive Medicine (ABORM).  She is also a member of the Clinical Excellent in Fertility Professionals (CEFP), a small community of practitioners from around the world who are deeply committed to treating infertility with Chinese Medicine, intergrity and compassion, and on-going education.

Benefits of Fertility Enhancement with Acupuncture and Chinese Herbs

From a Western Medicine point of view, Researchers from Weill Cornell Medical Center in New York reviewed studies and concluded that acupuncture enhances fertility by:

• regulating the menstrual cycle
• improving bloodflow to the ovaries and uterus
• improving ovarian function and stimulating the production of follicles and enhance their quality
• increasing the thickness of uterine wall lining and reducing uterine contractions to improve chances of implantation
• reducing stress and anxiety

How many treatments will it take to become pregnant?

It generally take 3-6 months to conceive naturally with fertility acupuncture treatments and Chinese Medicine.  However, there are no guarantees because each person is unique and different.  Treatment frequency will depend on many factors: age, previous pregnancy history, general health, stress level and lifestyle.  In addition to acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, lifestyle, diet and exercise play important roles in the conception process.  Consistency of treatments is the key elements to success.

Success Stories

"After 2 years of trying to conceive, it was recommended by a fertility specialist that I move onto IVF. However, I believed that I needed to exhaust all natural options to conceive first. Upon meeting Adrienne, I felt supported, understood by her and hopeful that I would conceive. She taught me how to decrease my stress and anxiety levels, adjust my diet, to include herbal teas and monitor my cycle.  After four months, I became pregnant.  Although I miscarried my first baby, Adrienne was beyond supportive for both my physical and emotional well being as I recovered.  Adrienne got my body back on track by adjusting my diet and herbal teas, and within one month, I was pregnant again.  I continued acupuncture throughout the first trimester. My husband and I are expecting our first child Christmas Eve. The process of becoming pregnant was frustrating and disappointing, but with Adrienne's expertise and support, I was able to conceive naturally!" - Diane C

"I started seeing Adrienne due to probable infertility.  I had started charting my cycles and noticed I had a very short luteal phase making it very difficult for me to conceive.  After 5 weeks of treatment, I was pregnant.  I continued treatment through my first trimester and delivered a happy, healthy baby girl at 41 weeks.  I had a great experience with Adrienne and would (and have!) recommend her to anyone." - Courtney.

"I have always had very irregular periods.  After starting treatments and taking herbal teas, my periods were regular! I could not believe it.  When my husband and I decided we were ready to try for a baby, I started fertility treatments with Adrienne and we got pregnant right away! It was wonderful!  She is highly skilled, answers all of your questions and guide you through your treatments with ease.I always have people ask if Acupuncture is painful? But all of our treatments have always pain free and relaxing.  I have continued my treatments during my pregnancy as well to help with my nausea. It has worked like a charm to help me feel better during my morning, noon and night sickness!  I highly recommend Adrienne Wei to anyone trying to pregnant! She is amazing!" - Karen. C
