Our Approach
to Fertility
Fertility care with Catch A Fish is not “one more thing to try.” It’s a structured plan to help your body respond better naturally or to the treatments you’re already doing. We use Chinese Medicine, targeted acupuncture, and customized herbal formulas to support ovulation, egg and sperm quality, uterine lining, and healthy implantation.

1
Women trying to conceive naturally
2
Couples preparing for IVF, IUI, or egg freezing
3
Patients with irregular cycles, PCOS, endometriosis, or “unexplained” infertility
4
Lab work appears “normal” but pregnancy isn’t happening
5
Stress, digestion, sleep, or burnout are affecting fertility
6
Women navigating perimenopause or menopause symptoms.
How Chinese Medicine Views Fertility
Classical Chinese Medicine does not see fertility as a single organ problem.
It looks at fertility as a reflection of the body’s overall capacity to nourish and sustain life.
We evaluate:
-
blood flow to the reproductive organs
-
the strength of the body’s reserves
-
hormonal rhythm and cycle patterns
-
digestion and nutrient assimilation
-
stress and nervous system regulation
-
the body’s internal climate (heat, cold, dampness, stagnation, deficiency)
Two people with the same fertility diagnosis often require completely different treatment strategies. This is why a pattern-based approach matters.
Natural Fertility Support
Uterine & Ovarian Circulation
Improving circulation to the uterus and ovaries.
Healthy circulation creates the environment where conception can take place.
Cycle & Ovulation
Rhythm
Regulating cycle timing and ovulation.
A stable rhythm allows the body to know when and how to respond.
Supporting egg and sperm quality.
Quality reflects the overall strength and reserves of the system.
Strengthening digestion and nutrient absorption.
Calming stress patterns that interfere with hormonal signaling.
Assisted Fertility Support
(IVF / IUI)
For patients working with fertility clinics, acupuncture is used as supportive care, not a replacement for medical treatment. We coordinate care thoughtfully and respect the timing and structure of your medical plan.
Before Stimulation Support
We help the body prepare for the physical demands of stimulation cycles.
This support focuses on steadiness and internal readiness before treatment begins.
During Cycle Regulation
We support circulation and calm as medications alter normal rhythms.
This helps the body stay balanced through the intensity of active treatment phases.
Emotional & Physical Resilience
We help regulate stress and sleep during emotionally demanding stages.
Supporting the nervous system allows the body to recover more fully between steps.
Transfer Phase Support
We support the body before and after embryo transfer.
This care is designed to help the system remain calm, grounded, and receptive.
Timing & Expectations
Fertility care works best when started early.
Chinese Medicine traditionally views fertility cycles in 3-month phases, but meaningful changes can still happen even when timelines are shorter.
Some patients begin care months in advance. Others start just weeks before treatment. We meet you where you are and tailor care to your situation.
