Case Study: Fertility Support and a Healthy Pregnancy Journey

Client Profile
A 35-year-old woman came into clinic seeking support for fertility. She had been trying to conceive naturally for one year. Her menstrual cycles were regular, but she wanted to strengthen her hormonal balance and give her body the best chance of achieving a healthy pregnancy.

Treatment Plan
We created a tailored acupuncture programme focused on supporting her reproductive health, optimising hormonal balance, and reducing stress.

• Initial phase: She received a course of 7 weekly treatments designed to regulate her cycle, enhance ovulation, and improve overall wellbeing.

Outcome
After 7 treatments, she had the joyful news of a positive pregnancy test.

Pregnancy Support
To ensure ongoing support, she continued with:

• Weekly treatments during the first trimester to stabilise early pregnancy and ease common symptoms.

• Monthly treatments from the second trimester until week 34 to maintain balance and prepare her body for birth.

Birth & Beyond
She went on to deliver her baby girl with very little intervention, and both mother and baby are thriving. Today, she is a happy new mum to a beautiful, healthy little girl.

Reflections
This case highlights the gentle yet powerful role acupuncture can play in supporting fertility and pregnancy. By working with the natural cycle and providing ongoing care throughout pregnancy, acupuncture can help women feel balanced, supported, and ready for birth.
