Fertility Acupuncture in Los Angeles
Support your fertility journey with expert fertility acupuncture in Los Angeles from Dr. Jeiran Lashai, DAOM, L.Ac., FABORM. Since 2005, our Silver Lake practice has combined traditional acupuncture with modern reproductive medicine to help you prepare for conception, support IVF, and give your body the best possible foundation for pregnancy.
Three ways acupuncture enhances fertility.
Acupuncture works by addressing the root imbalances that may be affecting reproductive health, through three measurable mechanisms.
Increased blood flow
Improves circulation to the ovaries and uterine lining, building a nutrient-rich environment for egg development and embryo implantation.
Hormone regulation
Balances the endocrine system to regulate the menstrual cycle and support egg quality through HPO-axis modulation.
Stress reduction
Lowers cortisol and shifts the nervous system into a state more receptive to conception. The "two-week wait" is real, we plan for it.
Egg Quality & Ovarian Reserve
Egg quality is shaped in the 90 days before an egg is released, which is why we do treatments during this time. This improves blood flow to the ovaries and supports the hormonal signaling that governs the cycle.
If you are planning an IVF cycle, egg retrieval, or egg freezing, starting three to four months ahead gives this window time to work.
Acupuncture that moves with your IVF cycle.
Your needs at the beginning of stimulation aren't the same as they are around retrieval or during the two-week wait. We adjust treatment depending on where you are:
- Before stimulation. Prepare for the cycle ahead and establish your baseline.
- During stimulation. Support you as medications, monitoring, and physical symptoms increase.
- Around retrieval. Schedule treatment around your procedure and recovery.
- During the two-week wait. Give you a place to rest and support you through what can be the hardest part emotionally.
- Between cycles. Regroup and prepare for what comes next.
Your fertility clinic sets your medical protocol. Acupuncture is scheduled around it.
Acupuncture across an IVF cycle.
Research suggests that integrating acupuncture into an IVF protocol can significantly improve clinical pregnancy rates. Treatment is timed to each phase.
Preparation
In the weeks leading up to egg retrieval, sessions focus on follicle recruitment and improving egg quality through targeted blood-flow and hormonal support.
Endometrial support
Acupuncture helps build a healthy endometrial lining, critical for successful embryo transfer.
Side-effect management
IVF medications can be taxing. Sessions help alleviate bloating, mood swings, and fatigue without interfering with the protocol.
Transfer day & after
Specialized pre- and post-transfer sessions relax the uterus, reduce cramping, and support the early-implantation window.

Treatment for every path to pregnancy.
Wherever you are, natural conception, IUI, IVF, or working through loss, treatment is built around that path.
Trying to conceive naturally
Cycle-aware acupuncture and, where appropriate, herbal medicine to support ovulation, cycle regularity, and a receptive uterine lining, often beginning a few months before you start trying, during the fertility window.
IUI preparation
Timed sessions that support follicle development and lining quality in the lead-up to an intrauterine insemination, coordinated with your clinic’s medication schedule.
IVF support
We adjust sessions to each phase of the cycle: stimulation, egg retrieval, embryo transfer, and the two-week wait. See how we approach acupuncture timed to your IVF cycle.
Recurrent loss & recovery after loss
Ongoing treatment through one of the hardest parts of this process, with a plan that continues after a loss.
Male fertility
Male-factor issues are common and often overlooked. Treatment for sperm health and the lifestyle factors behind it, alongside a semen analysis, with acupuncture for male fertility in Los Angeles.
Embryo transfer
Transfer day has its own timing. Pre- and post-transfer sessions scheduled around your procedure, with embryo transfer acupuncture in Los Angeles.
An individualized treatment plan.
Every patient's plan is built around medical history, cycle phase, and the goals you walked in with.

- Nutritional guidance to support egg and sperm health
- Stress-management techniques for the two-week wait
- Direct coordination with your reproductive endocrinologist
- Recurrent loss treatment and recovery after loss
- Pregnancy support through the first trimester
A more affordable path.

What patients say.
Verified reviews from Google.
She's been a huge part of my fertility prep and has also helped me manage several other chronic conditions. 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.
From my very first visit, she was incredibly thorough and took the time to understand my specific situation to create a personalized treatment plan. More importantly, Jeiran always makes me feel comfortable, heard, and genuinely cared for.
I've been seeing Dr. Lashai for just over a year now for fertility and she's the best. 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.
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.
