Enhance Your IVF Journey with Supportive Acupuncture Dr Ruolin Sun

We understand that fertility treatment can be a challenging and emotional experience. At Complete Fertility, we aim to provide the highest level of support for our patients, which is why we have introduced a new service designed to offer gentle, holistic care throughout your fertility journey. Acupuncture can nurture your body, soothe your mind, and offer gentle support as you journey toward parenthood.

We’re delighted to welcome Dr Ruolin Sun to our clinic. With her expertise in fertility acupuncture, she supports patients at every stage of their IVF and treatment pathway. Dr Sun is a member of the British Acupuncture Council (BAcC), the Register of Chinese Herbal Medicine (RCHM), and the British Fertility Society (BFS). She has worked with many patients seeking to enhance their reproductive wellbeing through tailored acupuncture care.

How Acupuncture May Support Your IVF Journey

Acupuncture, rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, is used by many individuals to support overall wellbeing during fertility treatment. Research suggests it may help:

  • Support Hormonal Balance – Encouraging natural reproductive rhythms
  • Improve Blood Flow – Supporting circulation to the uterus and ovaries, which may benefit reproductive health
  • Reduce Stress – Helping to manage anxiety and emotional strain
  • Support Implantation – Creating a calm, relaxed environment around embryo transfer
  • Support Early Pregnancy – Offering gentle care to help ease early symptoms

While acupuncture cannot guarantee treatment outcomes, many people find it a helpful complement to their IVF or fertility care.

When to Start Acupuncture

Many individuals begin acupuncture around 12 weeks before starting IVF or IUI. Beginning earlier may allow time to support hormonal balance, circulation, and overall wellbeing.

Regular sessions throughout your fertility journey may provide ongoing supportive benefits, including:

  • Pre-Treatment Preparation – Supporting the body before IVF or IUI
  • During IVF or IUI Cycles – Encouraging balance and comfort at each stage
  • Pre- and Post-Embryo Transfer Care – Helping the body feel relaxed and receptive
  • Two-Week Wait Support – Promoting calm during a naturally stressful time
  • Early Pregnancy Care – Providing gentle support in the early weeks

Why Choose Dr Ruolin Sun

With over 30 years of clinical experience, Dr Ruolin Sun is dedicated to supporting individuals and couples undergoing fertility treatment. She provides compassionate, tailored care designed to complement your medical treatment and help you feel supported every step of the way.
