THE IVF PREP CHECKLIST
5 Things Your RE Won't Tell You (But a Fertility Acupuncturist Will)
You're doing everything your clinic told you to do. But if you've ever left an appointment feeling like something was missing, like there's a whole layer of preparation nobody mentioned, you're not wrong.
This free guide fills that gap.
Dr. Shani Cooper, DACM, L.Ac. has spent 15+ years supporting people through fertility treatment as an acupuncturist, a doctor of Chinese medicine, and someone who has sat in the patient chair herself. She distilled the five things she wishes every IVF patient knew before their first retrieval or transfer into one no-fluff, clinically grounded checklist.
What's inside:
01. Your nervous system is part of your fertility protocol
This isn't woo. It's physiology. Find out what chronic stress is actually doing to your hormonal cascade and what to do about it.
02. Egg quality prep takes 90 days, not 2 weeks
Most people start optimizing after the protocol has already begun. The most effective work happens upstream. Here's what that window looks like.
03. Your uterine environment is just as important as your embryo
A beautiful embryo needs a receptive home. Here's what to track, what to ask your RE, and what TCM can add to the picture before transfer.
04. The two-week wait is a practice, not just a countdown
How to protect your body, your nervous system, and your relationships during the most psychologically intense phase of the process.
05. You are allowed to ask questions and change your mind
Informed consent means understanding your options, not just signing a form. Here's exactly what to ask and how to advocate for yourself.
Each section includes a TCM clinical framework, an actionable checklist, and a direct note from Dr. Shani on how she approaches it in practice.
