When you think of the world’s largest fertility conference, you might expect every conversation to be about the latest IVF technology and laboratory innovations… and there were certainly plenty of presentations on those topics.
But there were just as many conversations about nutrition, supplements, lifestyle, stress, inflammation, metabolic health and men’s fertility. These are the areas where we have the opportunity to make a real difference for our patients at Yin.

One message became clear throughout ESHRE: the future of fertility care isn’t just about improving IVF technology. It’s also about supporting the whole person before, during and alongside fertility treatment.

Swipe through for some of the lifestyle themes that stood out most to us - from diet and the microbiome to sleep, stress and men’s health.
One of the most encouraging moments was hearing acupuncture recognised as a supportive therapy for helping to reduce stress during fertility treatment. It’s exciting to see whole-person care - including acupuncture - becoming an increasingly recognised part of the fertility conversation.

So many of the conversations we’ve had at Yin for years are becoming an increasingly important part of mainstream fertility medicine. We’re looking forward to continuing to bring the latest evidence back to our team… and on to our patients!

🇬🇧 London update!

Sian is currently attending this year’s ESHRE Conference (European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology) - one of the world’s leading fertility conferences, where researchers, clinicians and fertility professionals from around the world come together to share the latest research and advances in reproductive medicine.

This photo is with some of the wonderful practitioners she’s been meeting and reconnecting with while she’s there. One of the best parts of conferences is catching up with colleagues from across the globe. ❤️

Outside of conference hours, London has delivered too - family catch-ups, a Ted Lasso adventure, Hamilton, Wimbledon, and another round of Jesus Christ Superstar (IYKYK 😉).

We’re looking forward to hearing all about the conference when Sian gets home.

In the meantime, the rest of the Yin team - Danielle, Susan, Megan, Cassie and Lou - are in clinic as usual, with a little extra appointment availability while Sian is away.

Enjoy the rest of your trip, Sian!

Ear seeds are back 👂 🥳!

A little clinic update for those who love their ear seeds as much as we do.

The ear seeds we’ve used for years recently went out of production. Thankfully, we had enough stock to keep us going while we searched for a suitable replacement.

After trialling many options (on ourselves first, naturally), we’re happy to say they’ve passed the test and are now making their way back into treatments.

For those unfamiliar, ear seeds are tiny adhesive beads placed on specific points of the ear and are often used to extend treatment between appointments. They’re small, discreet, and can be gently pressed throughout the day.

We’re excited to have them back in the treatment rooms.

A recent study looked at women with unexplained infertility undergoing IVF and found an interesting difference between those who became pregnant and those who didn’t.

Researchers found that women who did not achieve pregnancy tended to have a more diverse endometrial (uterine) microbiome, with lower levels of Lactobacillus bacteria and higher levels of other bacterial species.

The researchers suggest that some of these bacteria may produce substances that influence endometrial receptivity, inflammation, and the integrity of the uterine lining - all factors that may play a role in implantation.

The study was small (just 29 women), but it has attracted considerable attention in the fertility world, and we’re excited to see more research emerging in this area.

The microbiome is becoming an increasingly important focus in fertility research, particularly in cases of unexplained infertility and recurrent implantation failure. It’s also gaining attention for its potential role in pregnancy outcomes.

We can support this area of fertility care with vaginal microbiome testing that can be completed at home. This can provide insight into your vaginal microbiome, including the balance of beneficial bacteria such as Lactobacillus.

Depending on your individual results and needs, we can also discuss a range of probiotic options to support your vaginal microbiome and overall fertility journey.

The take-home message? The embryo is only part of the implantation story. The uterine environment matters too, and we’re continuing to learn more about the factors that may influence it.

Why the name Yin?

When we established our clinic, we wanted to create a space that felt calm, restorative, and supportive - somewhere people could slow down, feel heard, and nourish their yin.

In Chinese Medicine, yin is often described as the feminine aspect of energy. More importantly, it represents nourishment and the ability to pause and replenish. While the concept of yin has traditionally been associated with femininity, it as something that exists within us all. It reflects our commitment to creating an inclusive space where women, men and LGBTQIA+ patients feel welcomed and supported. In a world that often values constant doing and striving, we believe everyone benefits from a little more yin.

For us, Yin is more than a name. It reflects the atmosphere we hope people feel when they walk through our doors - a place to pause, reconnect, and receive support wherever they are in life.

You’ve probably heard acupuncture can help with fertility… but how?

Whether you’re just starting out or already on the path, acupuncture can offer a gentle, supportive way to care for your body along the way.

At Yin, our evidenced based acupuncture focuses on supporting fertility by:

📍 Helping regulate your cycle — supporting ovulation and more consistent, predictable periods (1)

📍 Supporting egg quality and ovarian function — by improving blood flow where it matters (2)

📍 Creating a more receptive uterine environment — helping the body prepare for implantation (3, 4)

📍 Calming the nervous system — because stress, anxiety, and fertility are often closely linked (5)

📍 Supporting male fertility too — including s***m quality, motility, and overall reproductive health (6)

Beyond the needles, it’s about the space we create. A place where you can exhale a little. Where your health, your story and your family goals come first.

We often recommend regular sessions, alongside simple support around diet, lifestyle, and (where appropriate) supplements or herbs.

Our AHPRA qualified acupuncturists bring additional training in fertility and pregnancy care, ensuring safe and personalised treatments tailored to your needs.

One of the questions we’re often asked is:

“is acupuncture safe during pregnancy?”

The answer from the research is a very clear “yes”! When provided by a qualified, registered practitioner, acupuncture is considered safe at all stages of pregnancy. Studies consistently show no increased risk to baby or parent, with side effects (when they occur) usually mild and short-lived.

At Yin, all of our acupuncturists are AHPRA-registered with additional training in fertility, pregnancy and perinatal care. We support people from early pregnancy right through to birth, with confidence, care and evidence-informed practice.

If you’d like to dive into the research (or just feel reassured), our latest blog breaks it all down

We are so incredibly proud to share the beginnings of one of our client’s heartfelt projects - Wish for a Butterfly 🦋

These affirmation cards support women through fertility struggles, pregnancy loss, pregnancy after loss, and new motherhood - gentle, grounding words created from lived experience and reviewed by perinatal health professionals.

Being alongside her through fertility, loss and hope, and now seeing her with this beautiful baby, has been really special. Watching that journey shape something that supports others on similar paths feels very full circle.

You can check out Wish for a Butterfly online (wfab.org), or take a look at the cards in our reception area when you’re next in 🤍

So lovely to see this lived experience become a support for others.
