IVF Acupuncture

Acupuncture designed for IVF preparation, recovery, and resilience — in Groton, MA

● A STEADIER APPROACH

Care That Adapts Through IVF

IVF and IUI involve closely timed medications and procedures that place significant physical and hormonal demands on the body. As treatment moves forward, each phase asks for different levels of circulation, recovery, and nervous system regulation, often within a short and very intense window of time.

At The Violette House, we bring together specialized training in reproductive acupuncture to support the body throughout IVF and IUI. Care helps regulate hormones, support uterine receptivity, and promote steadiness, whether you’re planning your first cycle or preparing for another attempt.

● COMMON CHALLENGES

What IVF & IUI Patients Face

IVF is medically complex and emotionally demanding. Many patients seek acupuncture support while navigating:

Rapidly changing hormones and medications
Compressed timelines with little room for recovery
Heightened stress, vigilance, or emotional fatigue
Waiting periods filled with uncertainty
Repeat cycles or past unsuccessful attempts

Acupuncture offers supportive care during treatment, helping the body and nervous system remain steadier.

● HOW IT WORKS

Acupuncture with IVF & IUI

Acupuncture is used as complementary care during IVF. It does not replace fertility treatment or interfere with care.

Instead, care focuses on supporting the body’s regulation, recovery, and response to treatment demands. Sessions are aligned with IVF phases and adapted as your cycle progresses, closely working alongside your fertility clinic’s plan.

Your First Visit

● TREATMENT TIMING

Acupuncture Timing During IVF & IUI

Acupuncture may be incorporated at different points throughout IVF or IUI, with treatment focus evolving as your cycle progresses.

Before stimulation

Focuses on establishing baseline regulation while supporting circulation and nervous system steadiness.

During stimulation

Treatments adapt to support the body’s response to medications and increased physiological demand.

Waiting Periods

Care may be timed to support circulation, relaxation, and recovery following procedures and key phases.

Between Cycles

Supports nervous system regulation and recovery gently before the next phase of treatment.

For optimal support, acupuncture is started 8 weeks — ideally 12 weeks — before an IVF or IUI cycle, though care can begin at any stage and be beneficial. Frequency varies by phase and needs. Many patients come weekly, with additional sessions around key procedures.

● CELLUMA THERAPY

Integrating Light Therapy With IVF

Light therapy may be used alongside acupuncture to support circulation and cellular energy. Some patients notice:

Improved recovery between procedures
Reduced physical tension or inflammation
Improved pelvic circulation
Support for cellular energy production

These therapies are optional and used when appropriate within your care plan.

● FERTILITY-CENTERED CARE

A Practice Focused on IVF Support

IVF and IUI support are not an add-on at The Violette House — they are central to the practice. A significant portion of clinical work is dedicated to supporting patients undergoing fertility treatment.

Care is informed by IVF timelines, medications, and clinical pacing, and emphasizes steadiness, responsiveness, and integration with medical care rather than aggressive intervention.
