Fertility acupuncture is one of the most research-supported applications of acupuncture in integrative reproductive medicine. At Integrative Health Partners, Dr. Hendry provides comprehensive fertility acupuncture protocols that address the full spectrum of fertility challenges — from natural conception support to IVF adjunct therapy, from hormonal cycle regulation to male factor infertility. His approach combines classical Chinese medicine pattern differentiation with modern reproductive endocrinology understanding to build individualized fertility support programs.
How Fertility Acupuncture Works
Fertility acupuncture protocols vary based on where you are in your fertility journey. For natural conception support, treatment focuses on menstrual cycle regulation, ovarian function, uterine receptivity, and stress reduction. For IVF support, acupuncture is coordinated with your reproductive endocrinologist's protocol, with sessions timed to egg retrieval (day before, day of, and day after) and embryo transfer (within 24 hours). Treatment frequency is typically weekly, increasing to twice-weekly around key cycle days or procedures.
Conditions Treated with Fertility Acupuncture
Your First Appointment
Bring your full reproductive history — cycle history, any prior fertility testing, AMH results, antral follicle counts, prior IVF cycles if applicable. Inform Dr. Hendry of any fertility medications you are currently taking. Fertility acupuncture works best when started 3 months before attempting conception or IVF, as this aligns with the 90-day follicular development cycle.

Dr. Hendry's DAOM training includes advanced study in reproductive medicine using Classical Chinese Medicine frameworks. His understanding of the menstrual cycle as a diagnostic window into constitutional health allows him to identify and address the patterns that most compromise fertility — not just the obvious hormonal markers.
