Clinical Pre-Conception Care
& Fertility Optimization
Advancing Reproductive Health Through Science-Backed Acupuncture. Focused Protocols for Oocyte Quality and Hormonal Equilibrium.
The Science of Reproductive Readiness
Pre-conception care is a proactive 120-day physiological strategy. It takes approximately four months for an oocyte (egg) to mature within the ovary before ovulation occurs. At Acuvia Acupuncture Clinic, we utilize this critical window of time to influence the biological environment in which your eggs develop. Our clinical framework is designed to shift the body from a state of stress to a state of reproductive readiness, providing a foundation for both natural and assisted conception.
Led by Stomy Jose, a Registered TCM Practitioner with over 15 years of clinical experience, we provide a sophisticated approach to fertility. Based in the inner-city medical precinct, we work with couples who are seeking evidence-based methods to optimize their fertile potential and improve the outcomes of their reproductive journey.
Ovarian Micro-Circulation
Targeted acupuncture points are used to decrease uterine and ovarian artery resistance. This ensures a rich supply of oxygenated, nutrient-dense blood to the maturing follicles.
Hormonal Modulation
By interacting with the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Ovarian (HPO) axis, acupuncture helps regulate the delicate balance of FSH, LH, and Estrogen required for healthy ovulation.
Uterine Receptivity
Success requires a healthy endometrium. Our protocols focus on optimizing the thickness and blood supply of the uterine lining to facilitate successful embryo implantation.
Clinical Acupuncture and Fertility Outcomes
Modern reproductive science increasingly recognizes the impact of systemic health on fertility. Clinical research indicates that acupuncture can significantly influence neuro-endocrine pathways, reducing inflammatory markers that may otherwise hinder conception. At our practice, we don’t simply treat symptoms; we address the underlying physiological triggers—such as high cortisol levels or pelvic blood stasis—that can disrupt the reproductive cycle.
For patients navigating complex conditions like Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) or Endometriosis, our pre-conception care serves as a vital tool for managing systemic inflammation. We utilize Vagus Nerve Stimulation to down-regulate the sympathetic nervous system, allowing the body’s energy and resources to be directed toward reproductive function.
Our Multi-Stage Fertility Framework
To provide exhaustive clinical support, our pre-conception care is divided into specific areas of focus, ensuring no aspect of your reproductive health is overlooked:
1. Egg Quality and Follicular Health
The maturation phase of the egg is the only time we can influence its quality through metabolic and circulatory improvements. Our protocols are designed to optimize the follicular fluid environment, providing the necessary nutrients for mitochondrial health within the egg.
2. Menstrual Cycle Regulation
A predictable, healthy cycle is the hallmark of fertile health. We focus on resolving issues such as irregular ovulation, short luteal phases, or mid-cycle spotting, ensuring that the body is signaling correctly at every stage of the month.
3. Male Factor Optimization
Fertility is a shared biological journey. We provide evidence-based protocols to improve sperm morphology, motility, and count. By reducing oxidative stress and improving scrotal circulation, we help ensure the male contribution to the embryo is at its physiological peak.

Pre-Conception Care FAQs
How many months before trying to conceive should I start?
Ideally, we recommend beginning care 3 to 4 months (approximately 100-120 days) before you plan to conceive. this covers the full maturation cycle of the developing follicles.
Can I have acupuncture while taking fertility medications?
Yes. Our practitioners are trained to provide support that complements medical fertility treatments. We adjust our points to help mitigate side effects and support your body’s response to medications.
How often should I attend sessions?
For pre-conception optimization, we typically recommend weekly sessions. This allows us to track your cycle in real-time and apply specific protocols for the follicular, ovulatory, and luteal phases.
