Acupuncture for Fertility in Sutton Coldfield

Trying to conceive is a deeply personal journey, filled with excitement, anticipation, and sometimes frustration. Fertility challenges can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate them alone. Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine have long been used to support reproductive health, helping to restore balance, regulate cycles, and improve the chances of conception.

At my clinic in Sutton Coldfield, I take a whole-body approach to fertility, integrating acupuncture, herbal medicine, and lifestyle recommendations to optimise your reproductive health. Whether you’re trying to conceive naturally, managing conditions like PCOS or endometriosis, or preparing for IVF, my goal is to provide a supportive and effective treatment plan to enhance your fertility and overall well-being.

How Acupuncture Supports Fertility

Acupuncture has been used for centuries to regulate menstrual cycles, improve blood flow to the reproductive organs, and reduce stress—all essential factors when trying to conceive. Scientific research suggests that acupuncture can enhance fertility by:

Balancing hormones and improving menstrual cycle regularity

Enhancing egg and sperm quality

Increasing blood circulation to the uterus, supporting implantation

Reducing stress and anxiety, which can affect fertility

Supporting IVF and assisted conception treatments

Your First Consultation

When you book a fertility acupuncture session, you’ll be asked to complete a detailed fertility intake form before your appointment. The first consultation is up to 90 minutes and includes:

  • A full review of your medical history and any existing fertility concerns
  • A discussion about your partner’s medical history (where applicable)
  • An analysis of any relevant blood test results
  • Recommendations for additional tests, if necessary
  • Advice on whether working with a nutritionist may be beneficial

Following your initial session, I will provide a detailed report with recommendations tailored to your situation. If advanced options such as frozen egg storage or donor sperm may be beneficial, we will discuss them as part of a personalised fertility strategy.

Evidence-Based Treatment Plans

Fertility acupuncture isn’t just about the needles—it’s a full-body approach. My standard treatment plan is a 14-week programme, designed to optimise reproductive health. This includes:

  • Weekly acupuncture sessions
  • Herbal medicine to improve internal balance
  • Lifestyle and dietary recommendations to enhance fertility naturally

This evidence-based plan focuses on improving egg and sperm quality, regulating cycles, and supporting overall reproductive health. Whether you’re trying to conceive naturally or undergoing IVF, acupuncture can significantly increase your chances of success​.

Common Fertility Concerns Acupuncture Can Help With

I work with individuals and couples experiencing a range of reproductive health conditions, including:

  • Endometriosis and adenomyosis, which can affect implantation
  • PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome), a common cause of irregular cycles
  • Painful or irregular periods, which can indicate hormonal imbalances
  • Low sperm count and poor morphology, impacting male fertility

Many clients see improvements in their cycle regularity, egg and sperm quality, and overall well-being after beginning treatment.

Supporting You at Every Stage

I understand how deeply personal fertility struggles can be. I have spent years undertaking specialist training in reproductive health, achieving high distinctions in fertility-specific exams and continuing my education in advanced fertility support. My goal is to create a space where you feel supported, informed, and empowered throughout your journey​.

Laura is so lovely, kind & thorough. Laura has helped so much with my fibromyalgia pain & is continuing to work on other medical issues I have. I am very grateful for her immense knowledge & guidance.

Laura is my hero!She's knowledgeable, professional, friendly, caring, warm, and often speaks of conferences she's attended or the latest research papers she's been reading - a clear sign that she's committed to being the very best acupuncturist and providing a top-notch service to all.I have pre-menstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) and have tried everything under the sun to manage the psychological symptoms of that, but nothing has worked. Until I met Laura the Acupuncturist. After just three sessions, I was actually feeling *good* during the luteal phase of my cycle. SSRIs have nothing on Laura! The difference has been truly staggering, and I can't thank Laura enough for giving me that part of my life back :)She's also stopped me clenching my jaw (and the subsequent headaches!), seemingly cured my hay fever, and pretty much got rid of my plantar fasciitis.I don't know how she's doing it, but I think she's a superhero. Plus, you can't help but feel calm and relaxed after a visit. I wish I had a mini Laura at home that I could chat to whenever I need a bit of a boost!If you're considering acupuncture, go and see Laura - you won't regret it.

I’ve been having weekly sessions with Laura for over a month now and have seen a huge improvement in my health. We were working on digestive function, energy, immunity, mood and hormones. Laura is so kind, caring and knowledgable. She explained how the treatments would work, and why she chose each acupuncture point for me. The sessions are also so relaxing - highly recommend!

Lovely relaxing space. Laura listened to all my issues and then carried out acupuncture session. The fibromyalgia type pain was reduced and I felt very chilled out afterwards. Didn’t hurt and felt safe in her care. Looking forward to next session and more relief from my pain. Thankyou.
