FAQ

How painful is fertility acupuncture?

Most patients are surprised how fertility acupuncture treatments involve minimal to no pain at all. Acupuncture needles are finer than a single hair strand; they are designed to enter the skin with as little resistance as possible. Sensations felt during fertility acupuncture include mild tingling, slight numbness or warmth on the acupuncture site. All acupuncture filaments we use are pre-sterilized and are packed individually to ensure safety.

I can’t make it to my scheduled appointment, what do I do?

We require all patients who are booked for appointments to send an advance notice. The notice must be sent within 24 for cancellations, schedule changes, etc.

Failure to do so will result in charging the patient a $50 fee.

Is there a difference between Botanical Medicine and Chinese Herbal Medicine?
No, Botanical Medicine, Chinese Herbal Medicine, and Herbal Formulas are terms referring to the same product used and prescribed at the Reproductive Wellness clinic. Essentially, herbal medicines are all-natural plant-based medicines that are in line with traditional Chinese formulas.
Can I still qualify for fertility treatments even if I’m undergoing Assisted Reproductive Therapies?

Yes, we have treatment programs that are created specifically to enhance the effects of all forms of Assisted Reproductive Therapies, including in vitro fertilization. Our fertility specialists can work in parallel and collaborate with your own Reproductive Endocrinologist (RE) or your IVF clinic.

Having our team working with your biomedical physicians is encouraged especially for pre and post implantation procedures. However, do note that successful pregnancy is a delicate process that calls for infinite changes that cannot be rushed. We offer a comprehensive Fertility Program available for individuals who are ready to start their journey towards healthy, natural conception.
