Brianna Darcey Acupuncture: Planning a Pregnancy? What To Do Before You Try!

There’s More You Can Do Than Just Take a Prenatal Vitamin!

Thinking about getting pregnant soon? Whether you’re providing the egg or the sperm, there’s a lot you can do before conception to support your body, balance hormones, and set the stage for a healthy pregnancy.

In East Asian Medicine (EAM), we see this time as “cultivating the soil before planting the seed.” Acupuncture and herbal medicine can:

✅ Regulate cycles & support ovulation
✅ Improve egg quality, sperm quality & uterine health
✅ Balance hormones
✅ Reduce stress (which plays a huge role in fertility!)
✅ Increase success rates of IUI & IVF

And once you’re pregnant, acupuncture can ease first trimester symptoms like morning sickness, fatigue, headaches, and anxiety. Studies show it can significantly reduce nausea and support energy in early pregnancy.

As an acupuncturist and former Labor & Delivery nurse, I bring both Eastern and Western expertise to help you feel strong and supported at every stage.

Curious where to start? I offer free 15-minute phone consultations—no pressure, just a conversation.

Warmly,
