What the Research Says and How Acupuncture Can Help - Stress and fertility are closely connected, but stress does not automatically cause infertility. This article looks at what stress may do to reproductive hormones, ovulation, IVF and male fertility, and how acupuncture can support people trying to conceive. Stress has a funny way of creeping into our lives without necessarily announcing itself as stress. Sometimes it is obvious: a relationship breakdown, bereavement, financial worries, fertility treatment or a particularly difficult period at work. But sometimes it simply looks like normal life. You wake up tired, check your phone before you have even got out of bed, grab a coffee, rush to work, eat lunch at your desk, spend the afternoon dealing with emails and deadlines, commute home, eat late and then wonder why your brain decides that 3am is the perfect time to start thinking about tomorrow. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68d3fa29c551dc1e360633fe/2990d675-22fb-4e3e-83bb-5359cbbd352a/that-s-her-business-KzeOMdcEswk-unsplash.jpg Blog - Does Stress Affect Fertility? What the Research Says and How Acupuncture Can Help - What Happens in the Body When You Are Stressed? Your body has a remarkably efficient alarm system. When your brain decides that something needs your attention, the sympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system kicks in first. This is the familiar “fight or flight” response: adrenaline rises, your heart beats faster and the body prepares to deal with whatever it thinks is happening. Alongside this is another important stress pathway called the HPA axis — the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. The hypothalamus in the brain communicates with the pituitary gland, which then signals the adrenal glands, sitting just above the kidneys, to release cortisol. Cortisol gets a terrible press, but we absolutely need it. It helps regulate blood glucose, metabolism, inflammation, immune activity, blood pressure and our natural sleep-wake rhythm. The problem is not cortisol itself; it is what happens when the body is repeatedly being asked to respond to stress and is not getting enough opportunity to recover. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68d3fa29c551dc1e360633fe/8a0c096b-d8e1-4884-b650-77a3ed8ebf25/rodolfo-barretto-ACB5nvhnm6c-unsplash.jpg Blog - Does Stress Affect Fertility? What the Research Says and How Acupuncture Can Help - Can Stress Affect Ovulation and Periods? The menstrual cycle begins in the brain. The hypothalamus releases GnRH, which tells the pituitary gland to release FSH and LH. Those hormones communicate with the ovaries, helping follicles develop, triggering ovulation and influencing oestrogen and progesterone production. Because the stress and reproductive systems communicate, prolonged physiological stress can influence this hormone cascade, particularly when stress is accompanied by poor sleep, inadequate food intake or excessive exercise. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68d3fa29c551dc1e360633fe/d9ffe86e-9704-4f9e-8ac1-95bcdc737e13/imkara-visual-kBHNy-1oxEQ-unsplash.jpg Blog - Does Stress Affect Fertility? What the Research Says and How Acupuncture Can Help - Does Stress Affect IVF Success? IVF brings a very particular kind of stress. Your diary suddenly revolves around injections, scans, follicle measurements, medication, egg collection, phone calls about fertilisation and embryo development, and finally transfer. Many people are doing all this while still turning up to work and trying to behave as though nothing particularly enormous is going on. The evidence on whether stress directly changes IVF success is not straightforward. A 2024 systematic review found that chronic and acute stress appeared to have the strongest negative relationship around the egg-retrieval stage, while there was no consistent significant association between acute stress at embryo transfer and pregnancy rates. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68d3fa29c551dc1e360633fe/0440a022-bc97-4aac-a295-8ea3f18958e8/shamblen-studios-2hng3rgOgoo-unsplash.jpg Blog - Does Stress Affect Fertility? What the Research Says and How Acupuncture Can Help - Stress, Food and the 3pm Chocolate Fix Stress also changes the way we eat. Some people lose their appetite; others want quick energy. Breakfast disappears, coffee takes its place, lunch gets pushed back by a meeting and suddenly at 3pm you are standing in front of the vending machine wondering how you got there. Cortisol is involved in maintaining blood glucose and making energy available when the body thinks it needs to respond to something. Very useful if you genuinely need to run from danger; slightly less useful when the emergency is an email arriving while you are sitting motionless at your desk. Fertility nutrition should not become another punishing diet. Regular meals, protein, healthy fats, vegetables, fibre, complex carbohydrates and enough overall food matter. Under-eating can itself become a physiological stressor, particularly when combined with intense exercise. Often I am much more interested in getting somebody to eat breakfast and an actual lunch than persuading them to buy another expensive fertility superfood. The Gut-Brain Axis and Fertility The gut comes into this too. The brain and digestive system communicate constantly through the gut-brain axis, involving the autonomic nervous system, vagus nerve, hormones, immune pathways and gut microbiota. Anyone who has suddenly needed the loo before an important interview already knows the brain and gut talk to one another. Stress can alter gut motility and sensitivity, contributing to constipation, diarrhoea, bloating, reflux, nausea or loss of appetite. That does not mean every fertility problem is secretly caused by the gut; it simply reminds us that fertility is not happening in isolation from the rest of the body. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68d3fa29c551dc1e360633fe/f8d14512-4638-4297-825a-1540f1a8ec90/pietra-schwarzler-B0otDlNg0fY-unsplash.jpg Blog - Does Stress Affect Fertility? What the Research Says and How Acupuncture Can Help - And Don’t Forget Massage Massage also deserves a place in this conversation. Stress has a very physical side. Shoulders creep upwards, jaws clench, the lower back can tighten, headaches appear and sometimes you don't realise quite how much muscular tension you are carrying until somebody puts their hands on you. Therapeutic or remedial massage gives you time to stop while also working directly with that physical tension. And sometimes, frankly, what somebody needs is not another conversation about their fertility. They need an hour in which nobody asks them anything and simply looks after them. You will often read that massage dramatically reduces cortisol. The research is actually more interesting than that. A quantitative review found that changes in cortisol following massage were generally small and not reliably different from control treatments. However, the benefits of massage for areas such as anxiety, pain and depression were considerably stronger. So I don't think we need to oversell massage by pretending its whole value comes down to a cortisol number. Massage can be useful before conception as part of reducing physical tension and creating genuine downtime, and appropriately adapted pregnancy massage can continue to be a wonderful supportive treatment once you are pregnant. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68d3fa29c551dc1e360633fe/5d923e71-02c8-4426-a415-8a5123dd73a8/daniil-smirnov-Tj9Zy83-jK8-unsplash.jpg Blog - Does Stress Affect Fertility? What the Research Says and How Acupuncture Can Help - The Takeaway You do not need a stress-free life to become pregnant, and you have not caused fertility problems because you worried too much. Please take that off your shoulders. What the research does tell us is that stress physiology and reproductive physiology communicate. We have evidence linking biological stress markers with longer time to pregnancy, we understand plausible hormonal pathways through which prolonged stress can influence reproduction, and we know that trying to conceive and undergoing fertility treatment can themselves create a considerable psychological and physical load. The useful response isn't to panic about cortisol. It is to look at what can realistically be supported. Eat regularly. Protect your sleep where you can. Reduce the caffeine — in my clinic, ideally lose the coffee. Move your body in ways that restore rather than punish it. Use simple breathing exercises. Have acupuncture. Have a massage. Ask for help and put some boundaries around work and around fertility itself. Most importantly, remember that fertility isn't only about ovaries, sperm, blood tests and scans. There are two whole people going through this, and both of them deserve looking after. https://www.deborahwarden.com/blog/male-fertility-decline-acupuncture-sperm-health monthly 0.5 2026-06-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68d3fa29c551dc1e360633fe/3e7bd406-043d-4189-bcc2-4c84e3f3239e/public-domain-vectors-Ovzk2BDDlho-unsplash-2.jpg Blog - The Hidden Half of Fertility: Why Sperm Health Matters - Male fertility has been described as declining by around 1% a year between 1960 and 2015 — roughly a 50% fall across that 55-year period. That is staggering. It should also change the way we talk about fertility. Yet when a couple struggles to conceive, the investigation still too often turns first towards the woman: her age, her hormones, her cycle, her scans, her egg quality, her supplements, her stress, her body. The man may be asked for a semen sample, told it is “normal” or “a bit low” and then the focus quietly returns to her. That is not enough. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68d3fa29c551dc1e360633fe/fd41dfe7-25ee-4c7f-b116-893012b98ed4/dan-russo-XGkl5yYHxyA-unsplash.jpg Blog - The Hidden Half of Fertility: Why Sperm Health Matters - The numbers are uncomfortable The decline in male fertility is not just a vague modern worry. Some of the figures are stark. Sperm count has been reported to have dropped by 45% between 1940 and 1990, from 113 million/ml to 66 million/ml. Over that same period, men with extremely low sperm counts tripled from 6% to 18%. That matters because this is not only about individual couples. It is part of a much bigger male reproductive health picture. At the same time, fertility treatment has become increasingly sophisticated, but not always better at asking why male fertility is poor in the first place. Too often, IVF or ICSI becomes the answer before the male side has been fully understood, supported or improved. That is a missed opportunity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68d3fa29c551dc1e360633fe/03f1f95f-d7b4-49d3-9a1f-b969bba626e9/jeferson-santu-vh8T3QwFPkk-unsplash.jpg Blog - The Hidden Half of Fertility: Why Sperm Health Matters - The ICSI question ICSI can be an extraordinary technique. It has helped many couples have babies, and for some it is absolutely the right route. But it should not become an excuse to ignore sperm health. ICSI is often used when there is male-factor infertility. A single sperm is selected and injected directly into the egg. The problem is that the woman is the one who goes through the invasive part: the drugs, scans, hormonal stimulation, egg collection and embryo transfer. If poor sperm is one of the reasons ICSI has been recommended, then it is reasonable to ask: has the sperm been properly investigated and has the man done what he can to improve it first? That is not blame. That is preparation. Before ICSI, it makes sense to look at count, motility, morphology, DNA fragmentation, varicocele, infection, inflammation, alcohol, heat, diet, smoking, vaping, cannabis, stress, sleep, cycling, medication and environmental exposures. Even if ICSI remains the right route, the quality of the sperm going into that process still matters. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68d3fa29c551dc1e360633fe/796c1b6b-7443-4393-bc69-0b1009c06a49/huum-XSpVeZvDg_w-unsplash.jpg Blog - The Hidden Half of Fertility: Why Sperm Health Matters - Heat: the easy fix men often resist Temperature is not a side issue in male fertility. The scrotum is designed to sit around 1–8°C below core body temperature because sperm production needs a cooler environment. Sertoli cells, which support developing sperm, can start to malfunction within 24 hours of a significant temperature rise. That makes heat a serious fertility factor. Regular saunas, hot baths, laptops on laps, phones in trouser pockets, tight underwear, prolonged sitting and long cycling sessions can all work against sperm production. Heat can affect sperm production and morphology, including the formation of the sperm head, midpiece and tail. Cycling can be an issue not only because of heat, but also because of pressure and repeated impact around the genitals. Cycling for more than 90 minutes a week has been associated with lower sperm concentration and competitive cyclists have been reported to have less than half normal morphology. This does not mean every man must stop cycling. But saddle type, position, duration, pressure and heat all need looking at. And wrapping an ice-cold towel around the scrotum while sitting in a sauna is not a fertility strategy. The issue is not whether you can briefly cool the area after overheating it. The issue is repeated heat stress in the first place. If you are trying to improve sperm production, stop working against the environment sperm need. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68d3fa29c551dc1e360633fe/ab2ce8fa-d94e-4051-81a7-cb8540ba3184/marta-filipczyk-4KLNtB58WOM-unsplash.jpg Blog - The Hidden Half of Fertility: Why Sperm Health Matters - Food, alcohol, sleep and stress are not minor details Sperm are made from everyday life. Food quality matters. A healthier diet can improve motility quickly, while fresh food, protein, fish and vegetables support morphology. High-salt, high-fat, high-sugar ready meals do the opposite, depleting count, concentration and morphology. Ultra-processed foods are particularly relevant because they can affect reproductive hormones, including FSH and testosterone, contribute to nutritional deficiencies and increase body fat. Vitamin D matters for spermatogenesis, motility, maturation and testosterone levels. CoQ10 supports mitochondrial function and protects sperm from free radical damage. Zinc, selenium, vitamin C, vitamin E, NAC, omega-3, L-arginine and L-carnitine are all commonly considered in male fertility support, although quality and dose matter. Alcohol above modest levels can reduce testosterone, affect spermatogenesis, contribute to erectile dysfunction and reduce fertilisation rates. Smoking and vaping increase oxidative stress, reduce count, motility and morphology and increase DNA fragmentation. Cannabis is associated with more damaged sperm, lower sperm count and reduced semen volume. Sleep matters because oxidative stress damages sperm and poor sleep disrupts hormones, immunity and recovery. Stress and overwork reduce testosterone and sperm quality. High caffeine intake can increase DNA fragmentation, increase oxidative stress and alter Sertoli cell structure. Medication matters too. Opioids, anabolic steroids, testosterone supplementation, SSRIs and common painkillers such as paracetamol may all be relevant to sperm quality or sexual function. This is not about making life joyless. It is about understanding that sperm are being made from the conditions a man lives in every day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68d3fa29c551dc1e360633fe/b112c1df-95cb-42f4-bb59-e98f1e7ca5b8/merve-sehirli-nasir-1Kdw8V3Jgl8-unsplash.jpg Blog - The Hidden Half of Fertility: Why Sperm Health Matters - The environmental soup Modern fertility is happening in a very different environmental soup from previous generations. Plastics, pesticides, herbicides, phthalates, BPA, receipts, synthetic fragrances, ultra-processed foods, polluted water, personal care products, cleaning products and food packaging all add to chemical exposure. Many of these substances are endocrine disruptors, meaning they can interfere with hormone signalling. This matters because sperm production is hormone-led. GnRH, FSH, LH, testosterone, thyroid function and the communication between the brain and reproductive organs all matter. Pesticides and herbicides can bind to hormone receptors, inhibit hormone production or action, and disrupt thyroid function. Higher pesticide exposure has been associated with lower sperm concentration and count. Pesticides may affect GnRH, testosterone, thyroid function, the testes, sperm motility, viability and acrosome function. Practical changes are worth making: use glass instead of plastic where possible, do not heat food in plastic, filter water, reduce ultra-processed foods, wash fruit and vegetables well, choose organic where it matters most, avoid unnecessary synthetic fragrance, review cleaning products and avoid handling thermal receipts when possible. Small changes, done consistently over three months, are more useful than frantic perfection for two weeks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68d3fa29c551dc1e360633fe/4a047664-408f-4fcf-989a-12c6830118fb/jon-tyson-pEGyLHAPfVw-unsplash.jpg Blog - The Hidden Half of Fertility: Why Sperm Health Matters - Keep the man in the room Male fertility should not be investigated only after the woman has already been through months or years of testing, treatment, miscarriage, failed cycles and disappointment. If a couple is trying to conceive, the male partner should be part of the fertility work from the beginning. That means proper semen analysis, proper interpretation, consideration of DNA fragmentation where appropriate, medical referral if varicocele or infection is suspected and a serious look at lifestyle, heat, alcohol, stress, sleep, nutrition, exercise, medication and environmental exposure. It also means acupuncture should not be reserved for the woman alone. There is also a strong argument for keeping the man involved beyond conception, especially through the first trimester. His appointments may reduce from weekly to fortnightly, but there is value in keeping the groundwork in place. First, sperm take around three months to be produced and mature. If there is a miscarriage, you do not want to be starting from scratch again with male fertility support at that point. Second, continuing together is a real way of supporting your partner. Fertility and early pregnancy can feel incredibly exposing for women. When a man chooses to come in, have treatment, make the changes and stay engaged, he is not just “fixing his sperm”. He is standing shoulder to shoulder with her in a practical, embodied way. And clinically, it makes sense. If the aim is not just conception but a healthy, ongoing pregnancy and a healthy baby, then supporting both people through those early weeks is entirely reasonable. https://www.deborahwarden.com/blog/acupuncture-for-breech-baby monthly 0.5 2026-06-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68d3fa29c551dc1e360633fe/1770048707335-FFWHCIHORFWNAEM724WB/IMG_4127.jpg Blog - Acupuncture for Breech Baby: How Moxibustion Can Help - Acupuncture is commonly used to support breech presentation in the final weeks of pregnancy, and one of the most well-known techniques is moxibustion. This article explains how moxibustion is used within acupuncture care to support babies turning head-down, when it’s usually recommended, and how it can be done safely alongside standard maternity care. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68d3fa29c551dc1e360633fe/edff8667-0bd5-4178-9e53-13d5b9fa066f/IMG_4125.jpg Blog - Acupuncture for Breech Baby: How Moxibustion Can Help - What you’re usually offered (and where acupuncture moxibustion fits in) If baby is breech at around 36 weeks, you’ll usually be offered an ECV (external cephalic version) - a procedure where a clinician uses gentle but firm pressure on your abdomen to try to encourage baby to turn. It can be uncomfortable, and it isn’t suitable for everyone, but it’s commonly offered and considered safe in the right setting. (nhs.uk) This is where a lot of women tell me they feel stuck in “waiting mode.” Waiting for the next scan. Waiting to see if baby turns. Waiting to see if you “need” an ECV. And that’s why I love breech moxibustion: it gives you something practical to do that is non-invasive, gentle, and often really reassuring. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68d3fa29c551dc1e360633fe/a6dfe2ac-3d19-42fb-80c7-f4be25def4cb/IMG_4124.jpg Blog - Acupuncture for Breech Baby: How Moxibustion Can Help - What is breech moxibustion? Moxibustion uses gentle heat from a moxa stick (traditionally mugwort) to warm specific acupuncture points. For breech, the main point is Bladder 67 (BL67 / Zhiyin) - right on the outer corner of the little toe. This is the classic “breech point.” And yes, it’s always funny that it’s by the baby toe - but it’s also one of those moments where Chinese medicine is beautifully simple. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68d3fa29c551dc1e360633fe/58342ea6-9cb9-4d60-8051-9c31544dd019/mohammad-bazar-vJJFWS0f6ro-unsplash.jpg Blog - Acupuncture for Breech Baby: How Moxibustion Can Help - WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY… “I went to Deborah (on recommendation from a local parents' WhatsApp group) when I'd found out my baby was breech at 36 weeks. The experience of the scan etc. hadn't been very nice so it was great to go and have a relaxing massage, acupuncture and moxibustion with Deborah. She was very reassuring and level headed. The baby did turn which is an added bonus!" - Inez Gordon https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68d3fa29c551dc1e360633fe/63e0af67-adbf-498e-bbb9-0248419cf8dc/brajendra-singh-hjJ95TbEhEU-unsplash.jpg Blog - Acupuncture for Breech Baby: How Moxibustion Can Help - Spinning Babies (and my “many angles” approach) I’m a big fan of approaching breech from more than one direction. A lot of women also use Spinning Babies® (developed by midwife Gail Tully) - it’s a set of positions and movements designed to encourage better balance, space, and baby’s ability to settle into an optimal position. Some people love structure and will happily follow a daily routine. Others prefer to pick a couple of simple things they can actually keep up with. Both are fine. https://www.deborahwarden.com/blog/category/acupuncture monthly 0.5 https://www.deborahwarden.com/blog/category/cortisol monthly 0.5
