Fertility Support

Compassionate, integrative care for every stage of the fertility journey.

Fertility is at the heart of everything I do. For over fifteen years, I have dedicated my practice to helping individuals and couples navigate the obstacles standing between them and their hope of growing a family through an integrative approach that blends the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine with the precision of functional medicine.

I believe fertility challenges are an invitation to look deeper. My role is to uncover what may be interfering with your body’s natural ability to conceive and to walk alongside you with clarity, compassion, and personalized support throughout the process.

Whether you are just beginning to think about pregnancy, trying to conceive naturally, preparing for IUI or IVF, or seeking answers after previous challenges, I am here to help you feel more supported and more confident in your next steps.

I work with individuals and couples who are:

  • Trying to conceive naturally

  • Preparing for pregnancy and optimizing preconception health

  • Looking to support the success of IUI or IVF

  • Navigating unexplained infertility

  • Seeking support after previous fertility treatments

  • Healing after pregnancy loss

  • Looking for integrative support alongside a Reproductive Endocrinologist

I offer holistic, integrative fertility care that works in alignment with your broader medical team. I regularly collaborate with Reproductive Endocrinologists in Orange County and across the United States to provide support that complements, not replaces, your existing fertility treatment plan.

My approach places strong emphasis on psycho-emotional support throughout the process. Fertility journeys can feel physically demanding and emotionally overwhelming, and I am committed to helping you feel more grounded, resilient, and supported at every stage.

  • Two Natural Pregnancies After Severe Endometriosis

    This patient had been trying to conceive for two years, with severe endometriosis and multiple unsuccessful fertility treatments behind her. We shifted the focus away from conception itself and toward reducing her pain, regulating her cycle, and supporting her overall health through acupuncture, moxibustion, Chinese herbs, and nutrition. Her pain improved considerably. When she decided to try again on her own, she conceived within four months, and went on to welcome a second child two years later.

  • A Natural Conception One Month Before IVF

    This patient came to me after an HSG showed both fallopian tubes were closed and she was told IVF would be her only path to conception. We focused on egg quality, cycle regulation, and overall reproductive health while she prepared for treatment. Six months later, one month before she was scheduled to begin IVF stimulation medications, she conceived naturally.

  • A Natural Third Pregnancy After Multiple Failed Retrievals

    This patient came to me after conceiving her first two children through IVF and going through multiple unsuccessful egg retrievals while trying for a third. Functional testing revealed significant adrenal depletion and low DHEA-S, which gave us a clear target for a plan built around nutrition, lifestyle support, supplements, and weekly acupuncture. Three months later she ovulated on her own and conceived naturally. She went on to welcome a healthy third baby.

  • A Successful Transfer After Three Failed Cycles

    This patient came to me after years of fertility treatment, having conceived her first child through donor egg IVF. When three subsequent transfers were unsuccessful, we began weekly acupuncture alongside functional medicine testing, which revealed significant hormonal imbalance and inflammation. Over three months we worked to address both, and she went into her fourth transfer with a very different internal picture. That transfer was successful.

What to Expect

Your fertility journey at Joyce Wellness begins with a comprehensive initial consultation. During this first step, I take an in-depth look at your health history, fertility journey, previous treatments, current concerns, and goals. I take the time to understand the full picture before making any recommendations.

From there, I may guide you through functional fertility testing to help identify underlying imbalances that may be affecting conception. Depending on your needs, this may include:

  • Hormonal and reproductive blood panels

  • DUTCH testing for advanced adrenal and sex hormone analysis

  • Nutritional and metabolic assessments

  • GI and inflammatory markers, when relevant

Using these findings, I create a highly personalized fertility support plan that may include functional nutrition, targeted supplements, herbal medicine, lifestyle guidance, and Acupuncture to support overall health, cycle regulation, and reproductive function.

Virtual Fertility Support

Appointments are offered virtually, making this care accessible to patients throughout California.

For those local to Orange County, in-person Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) appointments may also be incorporated when appropriate to provide a more integrative experience. These sessions may include Acupuncture, herbal medicine, and supportive therapies such as acupressure, ear seeds, gua sha, moxibustion, and cupping.

For select patients undergoing IVF, I also offer embryo transfer acupuncture to support implantation and promote a sense of calm on the day of transfer.

A Personal Note

My own experience navigating infertility related to PCOS/PMOS deeply shapes the way I care for my patients. I understand how vulnerable, exhausting, and all-consuming this journey can feel, and I believe no one should have to move through it without thoughtful, compassionate support.

    “Megan is amazing! My husband and I struggled with infertility. I started seeing her November of 2014 after finding out both of my fallopian tubes were blocked. She took all of my medical history down, came up with a plan and said give her 3 months as I was preparing for IVF. By February of 2015 I found out I was pregnant naturally. She closely walked with me for 2 of my pregnancies and I delivered 2 healthy babies!”

    “… I started working with Megan and immediately felt a sense of understanding and support from her. We started with acupuncture and herbal medicine and later in my time working with her she explored functional medicine therapies to assist me. She is extremely knowledgeable about the hormonal physiology necessary for fertility and pregnancy. She adapted her approach to my comfort level with different treatments, always listened to how I was feeling and took that into account into my treatment plan. Her treatments also helped to reduce the stress associated with this challenging journey. She is a beautiful soul and it's been such a blessing for me to be able to work with someone who truly cares about her patients and their families. My husband and I will forever be grateful to her.”

    “I have been seeing Megan for 3+ years and I can't recommend her highly enough! She has helped me tremendously with several health issues and I always find such comfort in her compassionate care and approach to wellness. I have come to find that I now prefer to see Megan before going to my primary care physician as her treatments and recommendations are often more helpful and in line with my personal preferences. She is also just a lovely person and wonderful to talk to -- not a common find in traditional health care settings these days!”

    “I saw Megan for about 2 years as I was trying to get pregnant with my second child. I miscarried once, but she helped me get pregnant again. I believe that her care and in-depth knowledge has definitely helped me get pregnant. In every appointment, she always gave me her full attention and was always very calm and nurturing. She inspired me to be calm as well. I just gave birth to a healthy girl last month and I am so grateful and thankful to Megan for all that she's done. I would recommend her to anyone who's looking to get pregnant. She's awesome!!!”

    “Most importantly, I am forever grateful to you, Megan. We have been literally trying for 4 years now with no clarity on what was happening in my body. You are really what I was looking for "The Answers". We love you. God bless you and your family!”

    “Megan has been one of the biggest blessings of my life. I now have two beautiful little ones because of her support – – really. She is a miracle worker – and not just for fertility. I have counted on her, even recently, to help me get through a cold season because I had gotten sick four times within three months. Once I started seeing her again, I am proud to say, I haven’t been since! I could go on and on about her, but I will leave you with this: Too few in this world are lucky enough to encounter people like Megan. I could not recommend her more highly.”

    “I really enjoyed my whole first experience with Megan Joyce. My first of many future appointments with her was for my infant whom she cared for so well. She is very good with small children, I am so grateful for this. This woman is extremely sweet, patient, and pays attention to detail. I was more than impressed by the cleanliness and therapeutic feel her office gave off. I appreciate doctors like Joyce. Keep curing xo.”
