TEAS Therapy: A Non-Invasive Way to Support Fertility and IVF Outcomes

November 04, 2025•3 min read

Facing multiple unsuccessful frozen embryo transfers can feel defeating, and when only one embryo remains, it’s natural to wonder and worry what more can be done to improve the chances of success.

This week, we’re focusing on transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation, “TEAS”, an evidence-based therapy shown to increase live birth rates for women over 35 by a whopping 42%. TEAS is an integral component of the Preconception Plan Perfected Program at Health Youniversity.

Understanding TEAS Therapy

TEAS (Transcutaneous Electrical Acupoint Stimulation) uses mild electrical pulses on acupuncture points to improve circulation and support reproductive function. By enhancing blood flow to the uterus and ovaries, TEAS helps create favorable conditions for implantation and overall reproductive health.

Research studied TEAS in over 2,000 women, demonstrating a 42% increase in live birth rates among those using TEAS, compared with the typical IVF success rate of about 30%. Shouldn’t everyone know about this option to improve their outcomes?

Preconception Plan Perfected Program for Fertility

The Preconception Plan Perfected Program offers a holistic approach to preparing the body, mind, and overall health for conception. It combines TEAS therapy with holistic strategies that support physical readiness, emotional resilience, and improved reproductive health..

The program engages mind-body awareness, offers nutritional and lifestyle recommendations, addresses the emotional toll that the fertility journey can take. It provides a comprehensive approach for natural conception, IVF or egg freezing.

Core Components of the Program:

TEAS Therapy: DIY acupoint stimulation to improve uterine and ovarian circulation
Mind-Body Practices: Guided imagery paired with binaural beats to reduce stress

Qigong Exercises: Movement aligned with the five phases of the menstrual cycle to harmonize energy and support reproductive function

Nutrition & Hydration Guidance: Meal recommendations, menus, and shopping lists designed to nourish the body and optimize fertility

Journaling: Tools for reflection and tracking physical and emotional progress throughout the program

By combining these elements, the program focuses on holistic fertility preparation, cultivating physical readiness, emotional resilience, and awareness of their reproductive health. It reframes conception, IVF or egg freezing as a thoughtful, intentional process, emphasizing balance, well-being, and evidence-informed support for each step of the fertility journey.

TEAS for Fertility at Home

For women integrating TEAS into their fertility journey, understanding when and how to use it is essential. Our modules explain the timing, frequency, and ways TEAS can be incorporated into both natural conception and assisted reproductive cycles.

Cycle Timing: The therapy begins after menstrual bleeding ends and continues until ovulation for natural conception cycles, or until egg retrieval for IVF or egg freezing cycles. TEAS is paused during menstruation.
Fertility Support: Regular use helps improve blood flow to the uterus and ovaries, supporting implantation and reproductive function.

Practical Considerations: TEAS can be performed at home, allowing women to participate in fertility preparation on their own schedule and in a familiar environment.

Dr. Susan Fox

I am a women’s health expert with a specialty in working with women and couples navigating fertility challenges for more than 20 years. I look forward to helping you realize your dream of family. I’m also a mother, a sister, a friend. I live in beautiful Northern California, where the nature of Mt. Tamalpais, the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay are my backyard. Traditional Chinese Medicine discovered me in 1978, when I was struggling with digestive complaints that flummoxed medical doctors. It wasn’t until I received my first acupuncture treatment and herbal prescription that I connected my medical condition to grief over loss of a loved one; that the stress of holding in such huge emotions was literally tying me up in knots, and I was finally able to heal. Discovering the powerful links between the physical, the mental, the emotional, the spiritual, and the environmental shifted my understanding of health and wellness forever. For more than 20 years, I’ve had the privilege of learning and implementing Whole Systems Traditional Chinese Medicine to understand the root causes of health conditions and realize optimal health and well-being. I am a strong believer in the importance of health education, for knowledge is power when you have the tools for effective self care.
