Care shaped around your cycle and your priorities
Trying to conceive can raise different questions at different stages. Your first appointment is a place to discuss your menstrual patterns, current symptoms and any medical care you are receiving. You do not need to commit to a fixed treatment course before your assessment.
Trying to conceive naturally
We can review the cycle information you already have and discuss what you would like support with. If you track periods, symptoms or basal body temperature, you are welcome to bring those notes. Tracking is optional, and a TCM assessment does not replace medical fertility testing.
Preparing for or undergoing IUI
Share the schedule and instructions provided by your fertility clinic. Any acupuncture appointments are planned alongside that care. Your clinic continues to manage medication, monitoring, the insemination procedure and pregnancy testing.
Menstrual symptoms and day-to-day well-being
Your consultation can include concerns such as period discomfort, sleep, stress and digestion. Mike will discuss which concerns are appropriate for TCM care and whether you also need assessment or treatment from another healthcare professional.
Follow-up is discussed individually, with attention to your response, preferences, medical care, schedule and budget. We do not set a universal 90-day requirement or promise a fertility outcome within a particular time.
Fitting appointments around IUI
If you are preparing for IUI, bring the dates and instructions your fertility clinic has provided. It is fine if your dates are still changing. Tell Mike about changes to your medication or treatment plan before each appointment.
Helpful information includes your medication and supplement list, the dates of upcoming clinic appointments, and any questions you would like to discuss. You do not need to gather every test result before booking.
We can discuss whether acupuncture or other TCM care is appropriate and how appointments might fit your schedule. Your fertility clinic remains your contact for IUI medication, monitoring, procedure instructions and pregnancy testing.
For questions about timing and appointments, read our guide to acupuncture for IUI.
Waiting to test after IUI? Read about acupuncture during the two-week wait.
After an unsuccessful cycle, use our questions for your next IUI review to prepare for your fertility-clinic appointment.

Your first appointment
Tell us what matters to you
Discuss your health history, cycle patterns, symptoms, medicines and current fertility care. Bring the information you already have and the questions you would like answered.
Understand your options
Mike will explain his TCM assessment and discuss whether acupuncture, individualized herbal medicine or other guidance is appropriate. You can ask about the purpose, possible benefits, risks, alternatives and costs before deciding on care.
Decide on a practical next step
Any treatment and follow-up plan are discussed with you. If acupuncture is appropriate and you choose to proceed, it may be included in the first appointment. Herbal medicine is considered individually and is not a requirement for acupuncture care.
Read the full first-visit guide.
Want help choosing a starting point? Our optional two-question visit-planning guide points you to relevant information and creates a short list of questions you can copy. You do not need to complete it before booking.
Is this the right starting point for you?
This page is for people who are trying to conceive naturally, preparing for IUI, or looking for TCM care for menstrual concerns while continuing appropriate medical care.
You are welcome to discuss irregular or uncomfortable periods, a diagnosis such as PCOS, or questions about whether acupuncture or herbal medicine fits your needs. A TCM consultation does not replace investigation of irregular cycles or other fertility concerns by your physician.
You do not need to know which treatment you want before your first visit. Mike will explain the options and their limits so you can decide what feels practical for you.
Explore cycle and menstrual care or plan your first appointment.
If your treatment plan changes
Let Mike know if you move from trying naturally to IUI, or if your fertility clinic recommends IVF or FET. Any proposed TCM care can be reviewed in light of your new medication, medical instructions and priorities.
You can find information about appointments during stimulation, retrieval and transfer on our IVF and FET care page.
