  • Preconception and trying to conceive
  • IUI and IVF support
  • Irregular or painful periods
  • PMS and PMDD
  • Endometriosis and PCOS symptoms
  • Pregnancy support
  • Postpartum recovery
  • The stress of the fertility journey

Good questions

Fertility & Women's Health: your questions

Can acupuncture help with fertility?
Many people use acupuncture to support their fertility and IVF journey, and it can help with stress, sleep, and cycle health. No one can promise a pregnancy, and we always work alongside your fertility doctor.
When should I start?
Ideally about three months before an IUI or IVF cycle, but it's never too late. We can also support you mid-cycle and around transfer.
Will you coordinate with my fertility clinic?
Yes. We time treatments around your clinic's calendar and keep your medications and protocol in mind.
Is acupuncture safe during pregnancy?
Several of our acupuncturists focus on pregnancy care, and we adjust treatment for each trimester. Let us know you're pregnant when you book.
Do you treat period pain, PCOS, or endometriosis symptoms?
Yes. Menstrual health is a big part of women's care at Calm, and we tailor treatment to your cycle and symptoms.
Do you accept insurance?
Yes, though coverage varies from person to person. Share your details and we will check your acupuncture benefits and get back to you within a day or two.
