Preconception Care

The Edinburgh Fertility Clinic team offers Fertility Advice, Acupuncture, Chinese Herbal Medicine, Western Herbal Medicine, Nutritional Therapy and Counselling as an alternative to, or in combination with, assisted fertility treatment or to couples who are interested in preconception care.

Experience has shown that the combination of Acupuncture, Herbs and Nutritional Therapy can increase the success rate of both natural and assisted conception. Counselling and Life Skills Coaching can be useful where stress or emotional issues are affecting one's ability to conceive.

When you book your initial session and we will advise on the best therapy or combination to suit your needs. You will also receive comprehensive information and guidance on your fertility queries.

These are some of the issues we can address:

  • Unexplained infertility
  • Secondary infertility
  • Poor sperm quality
  • IVF & other A.R.T. support
  • General well-being and support
  • Recurrent miscarriage
  • PCOS and menstrual irregularities

The practitioners are also experienced in pregnancy and other gynaecological conditions. Please note that regular sessions are usually required.
