LGBTQ+ Fertility

 
 

Queer Conception, a Unique Fertility Journey

Are you and your partner feeling overwhelmed by all the decisions and choices as your embark on welcoming a baby into your family?

Do you have a limited number of donor vials and want to make sure your body is in its optimal health to conceive?

Are you about to start IUI or IVF cycles and want to make sure the chances of success are the highest possible?

Do you have hormonal issues that are making conception difficult?

The fertility journey alone can be a difficult one and the LGBTQ+ fertility journey adds an extra layer of immediate choices, decisions and interventions to face that are stressful and overwhleming. Resources are always on mind here, whether it be certain amount of donor sperm/eggs available or finances for IVF. With the amount of intention and planning that goes into LGBTQIA family building, we want to make sure your body, mind and spirit is as prepared as possible when it comes time to inseminate or receive an embryo transfer. Acupuncture and herbal medicine are proven to regulate cycles, reduce inflammation and increase successful IUI and IVF outcomes. That is why I am SO passionate about helping queer couples/individuals reach parenthood. If you are not sure which ART route to go, having a difficult time with donor choices, or are simply at a point of confusion and frustration, I would love to assist you on your journey. Let’s part the clouds together!! I blend my personal successful queer fertility journey experience with my professional experience and expertise on Integrative Fertility and Reproductive Health to help give you the best care possible.

There are many ways I can support you on your queer fertility path and here are some examples:

  • Weekly acupuncture that follows the phases of your cycles, nourishes your body to prepare for pregnancy and increases egg quality

  • Reduce the stress and anxiety of the fertility journey through acupuncture and herbs so that you can be with the journey in a meaningful way, as well as increase chance of conception by lowering cortisol

  • Full lifestyle, health and hormonal evaluation to understand what may be impeding your future pregnancy
