8-Week IVF Companion
A comprehensive 8-week program built to support you through IVF from pre-cycle to pregnancy test. Get help navigating your medication calendar, stimulation, retrieval, transfer, side effects, and two-week wait, all coordinated around your fertility clinic's plan.
IVF is a lot to carry. You don't have to carry it alone.
Your IVF cycle can quickly become a blur of injections, appointments, changing dates, physical symptoms, and waiting. We stay closely involved from before stimulation through your pregnancy test, with acupuncture, practical guidance, and direct support tailored to what's happening in your cycle that week.
Know what's coming next. Get help managing the bloating, stress, sleep, and uncertainty along the way. Have someone who understands your protocol, communicates with your fertility doctor, and is there when questions come up between appointments.
Your clinic sets the medical protocol. We help you move through it feeling informed, supported, and cared for.
The 8-Week IVF Companion.
Before the cycle
Baseline set, herbs coordinated with your clinic, and the medication calendar walked through.
- Understand your medication calendar before you start.
- Know what to expect when stimulation begins.
- Get your herbs and supplements checked against your protocol.
- Start treatment before the injections begin.
Stims to transfer
Bloating, sleep, and side effects through stimulation. Paired sessions on transfer day, slot held.
- Get support for bloating, sleep, and treatment side effects.
- Have acupuncture scheduled around retrieval and transfer.
- Know your transfer-day appointments are already held for you.
- Let us adjust when your clinic changes the schedule.
Wait to result
The hardest fourteen days, with Dr. Lashai's direct line throughout. Then a visit, either way.
- Have someone to text when symptoms or worries come up.
- Get support through the two-week wait instead of Googling everything.
- Come back after your result, whichever way it goes.
- Know your next step before you leave.
Herbs are paused during stimulation. Transfer-day sessions run at standard protocol timing. Your physician receives a summary letter at every milestone.
One package, both cycle types.
- A 90-minute intake, then follow-up sessions throughout
- Perinatal counseling session in the two-week wait
- Direct text line to Dr. Lashai for all fourteen days
- Summary letters to your fertility clinic
- Herbal review coordinated with your protocol
- Nutrition and hydration guidance
- A visit after the result, whichever way it goes
- The same guarantees on both packages
What we stand behind.
Your clinic sets the dates, and we move.
If they reschedule your retrieval or transfer, every affected session moves free, same day if that is what it takes. Your transfer slot is held from the moment you enroll.
Your physician hears from us within three business days.
At every milestone. If they do not, your transfer-day sessions are free.
Full refund after your first visit.
If you decide it is not right for you, no questions asked.
However the day goes, you are not alone in it.
A positive test moves you into first-trimester treatment and prenatal planning. A negative test gets you a regroup visit and a counseling session before you decide anything about a next cycle. Either way, you are not sitting with it alone.

Honest about fit.
A good fit if you
- Are in active treatment with a fertility clinic, or starting a protocol within the next few weeks
- Want your acupuncturist coordinating directly with your physician
- Are dreading the two-week wait more than the injections
Not a fit if you
- Have not started with a fertility clinic yet (the 90-Day Fertility Foundation program is the earlier step)
- Want a single session on transfer day only, which we also offer at embryo transfer acupuncture
What patients say.
Verified reviews from Google.
I can honestly say I don't know what I would have done without her. Her treatments were a cornerstone of my care this past year. Jeiran is exceptionally knowledgeable about my condition and communicated regularly with my fertility doctor, ensuring my care was perfectly dialed in. She also helped fill in the gaps in my understanding of the IVF process, bringing clarity to what was often an overwhelming experience.
I've been seeing Jeiran through my IVF process (and through a successful pregnancy!) My IVF doctor insisted I see her, and I understand why: she is wonderful. Warm, thoughtful, intelligent, and incredible at her job. She's helped me tremendously through all stages of this process and I'm so grateful to have had her support.
I can't recommend Jeiran highly enough. She has been a key part of my fertility journey and I greatly appreciate her expertise and warm bedside manner.
I always feel relaxed and comfortable in her office and value her medical expertise, even beyond acupuncture. She's a true advocate for you in a world where it's so hard to find medical practitioners who actually listen and care.
She takes such a thoughtful, individualized approach and really listens. Every session feels tailored to exactly what my body needs, and I always leave feeling calmer, more balanced, and supported.
Two cycle types, side by side.
- 90-minute intake and 14 follow-ups
- 1 to 2 perinatal counseling sessions
- 90-minute intake and 11 follow-ups
- Perinatal counseling session in the two-week wait
HSA and FSA usually eligible; superbills provided. Repeat-cycle pricing available.
Only want acupuncture on transfer day? That is available on its own at embryo transfer acupuncture.
Start before stimulation does.
The pre-cycle month has to start before stimulation does. If your clinic has you beginning stims in the next few weeks, that window is on your calendar, not ours.
Dr. Lashai carries five cycle patients at a time so that transfer-day slots can be held.

Dr. Jeiran Lashai, DAOM, L.Ac., is board-certified by the California Acupuncture Board and NCCAOM (now NCBAHM), and a Fellow of the American Board of Oriental Reproductive Medicine (ABORM). Research supports acupuncture during IVF for stress, anxiety, and quality of life. We make no claims that it raises pregnancy or live-birth rates, and we say the same thing to your physician. That standard is why fertility clinics work with us. Guarantees on this page cover program deliverables, scheduling, and your experience with the practice. They are not guarantees of any clinical result, and no element of this program is offered as one.
