Pre-IVF Phase: Foundational Acupuncture Protocols

Access this clinical session

A focused clinical session on preparing patients for IVF from a TCM perspective

Practitioner level IVF preparation training for acupuncturists

Supporting patients before IVF stimulation begins is one of the most clinically important and frequently misunderstood- phases of fertility treatment. Decisions made in the Pre-IVF phase directly influence how patients respond to stimulation, tolerate medication, and move through their cycle.

This 53-minute recorded practitioner masterclass provides a clear, structured clinical framework for treating patients in the Pre-IVF phase, grounded in Traditional Chinese Medicine, modern IVF timelines, and real-world fertility practice.

This training is designed specifically for qualified acupuncturists and TCM practitioners working with fertility and IVF patients.

Who this training is for?

This masterclass is suitable for:

  • Qualified acupuncturists and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practitioners

  • Practitioners currently supporting patients preparing for or undergoing IVF

  • Acupuncturists working with fertility, reproductive health, or hormonal balance

  • Clinicians seeking greater confidence and clarity in pre-IVF treatment planning

  • Practitioners developing a specialist focus in fertility or reproductive health

  • Final-year acupuncture and TCM students with a strong interest in fertility and IVF

  • Students seeking to observe clinical reasoning and deepen understanding of IVF pathways

  • Experienced practitioners wishing to reflect on and refine their existing pre-IVF approach

This training is intended as professional education. Students should use the content for learning and observation and not apply clinical strategies beyond their scope of training.

What this session covers?

In this focused clinical session, we explore:

  • The clinical objectives of the pre-IVF phase from a TCM perspective

  • How to assess and prioritise patterns before ovarian stimulation

  • Acupuncture strategy and point selection logic (not rigid formulas)

  • Treatment timing and frequency in relation to IVF protocols

  • Common clinical mistakes in pre-IVF fertility support

  • Working alongside fertility clinics while maintaining TCM integrity

The emphasis is on clinical reasoning and decision-making, supporting adaptable, patient-centred treatment rather than protocol memorisation.

Why this session matters?

The pre-IVF phase is not simply about “strengthening” or “tonifying.”
It is about regulation, preparation, and timing.

This session supports you in:

  • Making clear treatment decisions under time pressure

  • Avoiding over-treatment or mistimed intervention

  • Supporting patients realistically and ethically

  • Integrating TCM treatment within modern IVF care

  • online
