“I began seeing Dr. Niemeyer specifically to treat infertility. My husband and I had been trying to get pregnant for two years, we’d been through multiple rounds of IUI, and were about to begin IVF. She provided excellent and tailored care for each stage of IVF, including egg retrieval, implantation, and the impossible waiting periods throughout. It’s a difficult, emotional process, and I always felt better and more relaxed
after an appointment with her.
Our results were very good. We ended up with six viable blastocysts and we were extremely lucky to have success with the first implantation. Dr. Niemeyer continued treating me throughout my pregnancy, helping with morning sickness, back pain, swelling, and evening out some of the intense hormonal swings.
Her office is clean, the rooms are private, and nicely decorated with calming and soothing colors and decor. She makes every effort to ensure her clients have a relaxing experience, with soft music, comforts able, heated beds that can incline (very important in the latter half of pregnancy when lying on your back is very uncomfortable), heat lamps to keep the exposed parts of your body warm, soft blankets, and a call button if you need her to make any adjustments during treatment.
But what I think makes her treatments most effective, is that every single appointment with Dr. Niemeyer begins with a conversation. She would ask me how I was doing that week and she would really listen to my response. She would then tailor my treatment specifically to what she heard, whether it related to infertility/pregnancy or not. She would hit water points if I was swelling, treat my knees if they were sore from exercise, hit points to reduce my anxiety around labor, or calm my frustrations with my three-year old. She provides a mind and body treatment, and I cannot recommend Dr. Niemeyer and The Root Wellness enough. I just delivered my baby and will continue to see her for overall wellness in the future. ”
Why our Natural Treatment works so well . . .
We treat the Root of the condition: When you treat the root of the issue you get lasting results. We don’t believe in just putting a bandaid on your health issue.
We keep it simple: Our treatment style is all about making small changes that will make a big impact.
We support your body to heal itself: Acupuncture uses your body's innate ability to heal itself by balancing the nervous system, stimulating the immune system, and balancing hormones.
We are results driven: Our goal is to help get you better quickly so you can get back to enjoying your life, and then go tell people how awesome we are!
This is how we do it . . .
We take a detailed medical history.
Dr. Niemeyer comes up with a personalized treatment plan.
We use a combination of Acupuncture, Chinese Herbal Formulas, Supplements, and lifestyle suggestions to help our patients get their lives back.
We Help Patients Become Parents
We can assist patients who are trying to get pregnant naturally, patients going through IUI, and even increase outcomes for patients going through IVF.
Dr. Niemeyer specialized in Women’s Health while getting her Doctorate at Five Branches University. She then spent two years interning and then working with Dr. David Cherry OMD, L.Ac., fondly known as, “The Baby Whisperer.” Dr. Niemeyer learned many different protocols and ways to help patients with their fertility directly from Dr. Cherry.
Once you are pregnant, we also care for women and baby during pregnancy with many complaints: fatigue, nausea, breech babies, delayed labor, and post natal care.
Frequently Asked Questions about Acupuncture for Fertility
How often do I need to come for
Acupuncture Treatment?
How often you come for treatment is highly dependent on where you are at in your fertility journey. Please see the applicable section below.
1. Trying to conceive naturally: We recommend that you come once per week and we generally use Chinese Herbs as well, in order to help you quicker.
2. Trying to conceive during the IUI cycles: We recommend that you come once per week during these cycles. When your other Doctors have you on any fertility medication we avoid Chinese Herbs in order to avoid any possible drug interactions.
3. Trying to conceive with IVF:
a. Leading up to an Egg Retrieval: During this time we follow CMAP: otherwise known as Cridennda Magarelli Protocol. This is 8 treatments one month leading up to your egg retrieval. So, two treatments per week for four weeks prior to the retrieval.
b. Between Egg Retrieval and Embryo Transfer: We suggest weekly treatment leading up to your ET. If you have an issue with a thin lining then we increase the visits to twice weekly and follow CMAP again like with Egg Retrieval.
c. Day of Transfer Treatment: The day of your ET, we do a treatment directly before and directly after your ET, we follow the Paulus protocol. This has been shown to increase outcomes by 17%. We work with a local IVF clinic, Northern California Fertility Medical Center, and we do this treatment at our clinic in Roseville right before and right after your Embryo Transfer. (Based on availability we can also do this treatment at NCFMC’s office)
How Long Does it normally take to CONCEIVE naturally?
For patient who we believe have a good chance of conceiving naturally, it generally takes 5-6 menstrual cycles. If we don’t have success helping you conceive naturally we can support you through ART (Assisted Reproductive Techniques) with assistance from your IVF clinic or OB/GYN.
What happens after I’m pregnant?
We continue care even after you’re pregnant. Acupuncture has been shown to reduce ectopic pregnancy rates, miscarriage rates, and it has been shown to increase live birth rates. Acupuncture is great for managing all the symptoms of pregnancy including nausea, heartburn, back pain, and delayed labor.
Week 1-12: We treat weekly during this period of time. If you’ve had a history of miscarriages, we also suggest Chinese Herbal treatment.
Week 12-36: We treat monthly during this period of time.
Week 36-Birth: We treat weekly again during this time.
