A calm, coordinated approach
Looking for a natural, effective way to enhance your fertility? At Acupuncture of West Florida in Clearwater, FL, we offer specialized fertility acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) designed to support and enhance your journey to parenthood — whether you're trying to conceive naturally or pursuing IVF or IUI.
Serving Clearwater, Tampa, St. Petersburg, and the greater Tampa Bay area, our team — led by Dr. Kim Windschauer, AP — blends traditional and modern holistic techniques with compassionate, one-on-one care tailored to your unique history and goals.

Our approach
How treatment works
Initial fertility consultation
60-minute intake covering medical history, cycle patterns, prior workup, ART timeline, lifestyle, and emotional wellness. We build a fertility plan aligned with your goals.
Cycle-regulating acupuncture
Weekly or twice-weekly sessions to help regulate hormones, improve blood flow to the uterus and ovaries, and support ovulation, endometrial lining, and implantation.
Chinese herbal medicine & lifestyle
Targeted herbal formulas, dietary guidance, and stress-relief techniques that address root causes — from PCOS and endometriosis to unexplained infertility and DOR.
IVF / IUI cycle support
Coordinated pre-retrieval, pre-transfer, and post-transfer acupuncture to support ART outcomes, alongside your Tampa Bay fertility clinic.
Pregnancy, labor & postpartum care
First-trimester support to protect pregnancy, symptom relief through all three trimesters, labor prep, and postpartum recovery including lactation and hormone rebalancing.
The research
Evidence & guidelines
Acupuncture influences the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, helping regulate reproductive hormones, improve blood flow to reproductive organs, and lower stress hormones. Published research and clinical experience show benefits for menstrual regularity, ovulation, endometrial receptivity, sperm quality, and IVF/IUI outcomes. LIfe FErtility Bio Therapy® adds a structured international protocol with two decades of use supporting couples through conception, healthy pregnancy, labor, and postpartum recovery.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to see results with fertility acupuncture?+
Results vary from person to person. Many patients see improvements in menstrual cycle regularity and overall well-being within a few weeks, but most fertility experts recommend continuing acupuncture for at least three to six months for optimal results — especially when preparing for IVF or IUI.
How often should I receive fertility acupuncture treatments?+
Frequency varies by case. Most patients begin with one to two sessions per week, and we tailor the schedule to your cycle phase, diagnosis, and whether you're preparing for or currently in an ART cycle.
Is fertility acupuncture painful?+
Acupuncture is typically not painful. The needles are extremely thin — most patients report only a slight tingling or warmth, and many find the sessions deeply relaxing.
Are there risks or side effects?+
Acupuncture is a safe, non-invasive treatment. Occasionally patients notice mild bruising at needle sites, which resolves quickly. When performed by a licensed acupuncture physician, treatment during preconception and pregnancy is considered very safe.
Can acupuncture help conditions like PCOS or endometriosis?+
Yes. Fertility acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine can support management of PCOS, endometriosis, and unexplained infertility by helping regulate hormones, improve blood flow, and reduce inflammation.
Can men benefit from fertility acupuncture?+
Absolutely. Studies show acupuncture can improve sperm quality — including count, motility, and morphology — and support overall male reproductive health.
Do you work alongside IVF and IUI clinics?+
Yes. We regularly coordinate care with Tampa Bay fertility specialists, timing treatments around egg retrieval, transfer, and IUI to support each phase of the ART cycle.
How long should I continue acupuncture after a positive pregnancy test?+
We typically recommend continuing acupuncture throughout the first trimester to support a healthy pregnancy and reduce the risk of miscarriage, then as needed for pregnancy symptoms, labor prep, and postpartum recovery.
