Before ovulation is good and after, to be honest throughout your cycle. Especially before any fertility treatments, so Acupuncture can get your menstrual cycle to its optimum to really provide a solid support throughout any fertility treatments.

1.During the follicular phase-day 5,6,7 or 8.
2.Day before, day of or day after ovulation (indicated by LH surge)
