Hormones, Temperature, and Fertility

From a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) perspective, fertility depends on both hormonal balance and internal warmth.

The body must be restored and nourished at night (yin) and warmed, activated, and metabolically energized during the day (yang) for conception to occur.

When someone feels cold and low-energy during the day, they often become overly warm at night, leading to poor-quality restorative sleep and inadequate daytime warmth, circulation, and hormonal activation to support fertility.

Kidney Yang: The Foundation of Reproductive Energy

In TCM, the Kidney system governs fertility, influencing:

Hormone regulation and signaling

Egg quality and ovarian function

Uterine circulation and warmth

Implantation stability

Kidney Yang deficiency—the most common fertility pattern—creates an internally cold environment where conception becomes more difficult.

Common signs may include cold hands or feet, fatigue, low basal temperature, delayed ovulation, thin uterine lining, or difficulty conceiving.

Creating the Right Environment for Life

A simple metaphor explains this clearly:

Cold uterus = bun in the fridge

Circulation and hormonal activation are too weak to sustain implantation

Warm, nourished uterus = bun in the oven

Blood flow, hormones, and metabolic energy align to support conception

True fertility requires warmth, nourishment, and movement.

Simple Ways to Support

Fertility Warmth

Keep feet warm and avoid direct cold exposure.
Protect the low back, where Kidney energy resides.
Favor warm foods, warm drinks, morning light, gentle movement, and consistent early sleep to strengthen daytime yang energy.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Balanced temperature supports balanced hormones.
Balanced hormones support conception.

Our goal is to help your body shift from
“bun in the fridge” → to → “bun in the oven,”
creating the warm, stable internal environment where fertility can naturally thrive.

F.A.Q.s

Why is fertility care often packaged?

Acupuncture works best when treatments are consistent and cumulative.

- Egg and sperm development ≈ 90 days

- Requires consistent weekly/bi-weekly care

- Packages provide structure and cost savings

Designed to support real change over a full cycle.

When is the best time to start treatment?

You can benefit from treatment at any stage of your journey, but the ideal time to begin is about three months before a planned retrieval, transfer, or natural conception attempt.

If you’re already in a medicated cycle, starting right away can still help:

- Reduce stress and side effects

- Improve pelvic blood flow

- Supports follicle development and uterine health

- Provide meaningful real-time support

Support that meets you exactly where you are.

Does insurance cover fertility acupuncture?

Coverage varies widely depending on your insurance provider and specific plan.
Some plans cover acupuncture for chronic pain, but may exclude fertility-related diagnoses.

We recommend contacting your insurer to ask whether CPT codes 97810 and 97811 are covered for your condition.

No matter your coverage, we provide the documentation needed to:

Request out-of-network reimbursement

Use HSA or FSA pre-tax funds

So you can make the most of your available benefits.

How do I know if I have out-of-network benefits?

Begin by checking your Summary of Benefits for out-of-network acupuncture eligibility.

When coverage is available, the process is simple:

1. Payment is made at the time of treatment

2. We supply a professionally coded superbill

3. You submit the document to your insurer

4. Your provider issues direct reimbursement according to your plan’s percentage

Designed to keep the financial process clear, organized, and stress-free.

Can I use my HSA or FSA for these sessions?

Yes. Acupuncture is considered a qualified medical expense under IRS guidelines.

You can use your HSA or FSA debit card just like a regular credit card to pay for:

- Your initial consultation

- Follow-up treatments

- Some prescribed supplements

Using pre-tax funds is a smart way to reduce the overall cost of your fertility care.
