Supplements are not inherently bad, but there is so much misinformation out there.

When ttc, there are so many people trying to prey on your fear and uncertainty by getting you to think that their supplement will cure your infertility.

Yes, there is some good research about certain supplements that can help with PCOS and egg quality.

And everyone should have adequate Vitamin D (especially in the PNW), and take a Prenatal vitamin.

But you can harm yourself by taking the wrong supplements and in the wrong dosage.

Trying to conceive takes up a lot of space - emotional, mental, and physical. Not to mention the impact on your relationships, scheduling appointments, and all the other small ways TTC shows up in your life.

One of the things I want my patients to know is that there is no “right” timeline or experience.

I also want them to know they don’t have to navigate this journey on their own. Finding community and support makes such a difference.

Part of my role as a fertility acupuncturist is helping you understand what your body is telling you and feel less alone in the decisions you’re making.

Supplements are not one size fits all.

Taking supplements that someone swore worked for them, or that you read in an article or heard about online may not be the right choice for your body.

Before adding something, it is important to understand what will be helpful for you.

If you’re trying to conceive and want to discuss your options and if we’re a good fit to work together, you can set up a free 20 minute consultation.

This work is emotional, and I’m so honored to do it.

This question has come up several times in my acupuncture clinic, so let’s talk about whether wearing socks really impacts your fertility when you are trying to get pregnant.

I’d love to hear yours!

Here are a few more of mine:

Inflammation impacts your fertility.

Male factor infertility impacts around 50% of couples experiencing infertility. We need to be talking about it more.

Irregular cycles means tracking apps aren’t going to be as helpful in tracking ovulation.

S***m health is just as important as egg health when ttc.

Just because you can get pregnant at age 40 doesn’t mean it won’t be harder.

And I’ll say this one again - infertility is a medical condition, not a mindset.

We have the same goal.

A few things I wish more people knew before they started trying to get pregnant (as an acupuncture fertility specialist)

Having a period every month does not mean you’re ovulating (and you can’t get pregnant without ovulation)

If you’re not tracking your ovulation, you may be missing your fertile window entirely and not know it.

You do not have to wait to see a specialist and this is especially true if you have endometriosis or PCOS. If you feel like something is off, seek support.

And, yes, your partner’s health is part of the equation. Diet, lifestyle, and targeted supplementation matter for s***m quality.
