Trying to Get Pregnant? Here’s How Acupuncture with Dr. Jessie Can Help—Especially If You’re Doing IVF

Trying to get pregnant isn’t always simple - and if you’re here, you probably already know that.

Whether you’ve just started trying, are dealing with fertility challenges, or you’re in the middle of IVF, you’ve likely been searching for anything that might actually help. That’s where acupuncture comes in - and why so many people in NYC are turning to Dr. Jessie Gao at Metro Wellness for support.

Acupuncture might sound like just another wellness trend, but it’s backed by real science—and when it’s done by someone who specializes in fertility, like Dr. Jessie, it can be a powerful way to support your body, your hormones, and your sanity during this process.

So… Can Acupuncture Really Help with Fertility?

Yes. And it’s not just ancient wisdom - there’s solid research behind it.

Here’s what acupuncture can do:

🌸 Boost IVF success rates
Multiple studies show that acupuncture before and after embryo transfer can improve your chances of getting pregnant. One study published in Fertility and Sterility showed significantly higher success rates for patients who added acupuncture to their IVF protocol.

🌸 Improve blood flow to the uterus and ovaries
More blood flow = better nourishment to the uterine lining and developing eggs. That’s a big deal when you're trying to get pregnant.

🌸 Support hormone balance
Acupuncture can help regulate cycles, support ovulation, and reduce symptoms tied to conditions like PCOS or irregular periods. It works by nudging your body’s natural hormonal rhythms back into balance.

🌸 Calm the nervous system
IVF is stressful. Even tracking your cycle can feel overwhelming. Acupuncture helps lower cortisol (your stress hormone) and brings your body into a calmer, more receptive state -physically and emotionally.

🌸 Support egg quality and embryo development
Healthy eggs are key to IVF success. Acupuncture helps improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and support cellular health - all of which play a role in egg and embryo quality.
