Preconception Acupuncture & Fertility Support in Los Angeles

Prepare Your Body for Pregnancy Before You Start Trying

Preconception care focuses on strengthening the body before pregnancy attempts begin by supporting the systems that play a direct role in fertility. This includes hormonal signaling between the brain and ovaries, healthy circulation to the uterus and pelvic organs, reduced inflammation, metabolic balance, and proper nervous system regulation. By optimizing these foundations ahead of time, the body is better prepared for ovulation, implantation, and a healthy pregnancy, rather than waiting until challenges arise.

At Mighty River Wellness, we use fertility acupuncture treatments and Chinese herbal supplements to support hormone balance, cycle regularity, and improve blood flow to the uterus while calming the stress response that can interfere with reproductive signaling. We also guide patients through practical preconception steps such as nutrition support, lifestyle adjustments, toxin reduction, stress management, and male fertility support when needed.

What Is Preconception Support?

Fertility depends on coordinated communication between the brain, ovaries, uterus, and nervous system. When stress, inflammation, or hormonal disruption is present, cycles may become irregular and implantation less predictable. Preconception acupuncture and Chinese medicine allow time for these systems to regulate, supporting more consistent reproductive function.

How Acupuncture Supports Fertility

• Hormone and Cycle Regulation: Acupuncture is commonly used to support communication between the brain and ovaries, helping regulate ovulation timing and cycle consistency.

• Circulation to Reproductive Organs: Improved pelvic and uterine blood flow supports follicle development and uterine receptivity, which are essential for conception and implantation.

• Nervous System Regulation: Stress activates protective physiological pathways that can interfere with reproductive signaling. Acupuncture supports parasympathetic activity, helping calm the nervous system and support fertility-related hormone patterns.

Acupuncture for IVF Preparation

Many patients seek preconception acupuncture before IVF or IUI to support their bodies prior to stimulation and retrieval. This care is often used to support stress regulation, circulation, and treatment tolerance. Dr. Beck Hoehn works collaboratively with fertility clinics, including HRC Fertility, to provide integrative care alongside reproductive endocrinology treatment.
