Show notes:

Being told your infertility is 'unexplained' can feel frustrating, confusing, and hopeless. When tests come back “normal' but pregnancy still isn’t happening, many people are left wondering what else - if anything, they can do.

In this episode, I’m joined by Rachel Sherriff, fertility acupuncturist and founder of The Fertility Suite, to explore the role acupuncture can play in supporting people with unexplained infertility.

​

This is a grounded, honest conversation about what fertility acupuncture can offer -and just as importantly, what it can’t. We talk about acupuncture as a tool alongside the right medical care and how it can help people feel supported during an often overwhelming journey.

​

In this episode, we cover:

• What unexplained infertility really means and how it impacts people emotionally

• What fertility acupuncture actually involves (and how it differs from general acupuncture) 

• How acupuncture can support the nervous system and why this is important

• How fertility acupuncture can support if you have been told that you have unexplained infertility 

• What acupuncture is and isn't useful for when trying to conceive

• When acupuncture might be helpful alongside IVF or other fertility treatment

• The importance of ethics and transparency in complementary therapies and fertility care

​​

Whether you’re trying to conceive naturally, preparing for IVF, or navigating unexplained infertility or failed cycles, this episode offers reassurance, clarity, and a balanced perspective on other options.
