My experience with Blue Ova is beyond what anyone can expect from an acupuncture practice. What Blue Ova offers is a holistic approach to realigning women’s health and fertility and provide all the necessary wisdom to make it true. My experience has been transforming - from having multiple levels of fertility challenges to delivering a beautiful and healthy baby conceived naturally after a year+ of sessions with them.
I couldn’t recommend more the whole team led by the owner Robin, whose sweet and attentive take on what is needed is beyond accurate, along with team members like Jessica and Evelyn, whose also got a magic eye for what the body needs.
I also can’t recommend enough all the books and materials they have handy in the lobby, they unlocked a load of knowledge that also made my pregnancy possible.
Every resource invested in their services is worth it if one is committed to transforming one’s fertility.

Dr. Allison Delaney is a gifted acupuncturist and healer whose depth of knowledge and intuitive presence make her a one in a million resource and guiding light for any woman navigating her reproductive health. Her recommendations are thoughtful, rooted in traditional wisdom, and tailored to the individual. She *sees* you and meets you exactly where you need to be, offering an empowering bedside manner and confident approach to establishing herbs and supplements to your journey. She has transformed the way I think about postpartum healing and I’m so grateful for her wisdom and support.

Dr. Stephanie Martin was fabulous. I am absolutely thrilled to have her as my physician and I am relieved to see that lab results point me to the direction I need going forward with my health!!!!!
My sister in law recommended this, as I was having irregular madness in menopause/peri meno.
These lab results let me know with my diet what I was /or was not doing well.
I'm a huge fan after having this done. I highly recommend.

Blue Ova is more than just acupuncture, fertility care, and pre- and perinatal care...Blue Ova is a *lifestyle*. I came to Robin and her team two years ago, after experiencing recurrent pregnancy loss and seeking guidance in all the unknowns that my fertility's future held. Having never tried acupuncture or had a fertility/health coach, I didn't know fully what I should expect. From meeting Robin for my first consultation to starting my first acupuncture sessions with Jessica and Evelyn (who were both so easy to talk to and very thoughtful around my care), a newfound sense of hope and excitement in the potential for living a healthier lifestyle and hoping one day I could achieve a live birth was reignited. And so my journey began: November 2022: Blue Ova 101. I began learning all things nutrition (foods for my cycle and body-warming foods/drinks), supplements, sleep, fertility exercises, resources to read up on, and even eliminating common toxins and striving for a more EWG-life. This is what I mean when I say Blue Ova is a lifestyle! December 2022: Blue Ova 102. Learned more about the potential underlying contributors to my RPL. Robin and her team coached me on the specific medical exams and labs that I should ask my OB for, and how to advocate for myself in the world of western medicine. January 2023: Fertility decisions. During my weekly sessions, Robin (and Jessica & Evelyn who I primarily saw) provided me with general education and resources/clinics for my fertility options, which ultimately led me and my husband deciding to have our embryos tested. February 2023: We did our first egg retrieval and PGA testing with an outside clinic. After yielding 3 PGA normal embryos from our first round, Robin helped craft an even more catered individualized treatment plan for us going into our 2 retrieval in hopes we'd yield more normal embryos. March 2023: It worked...all the micro shifts that Robin/team added in including red light therapy helped to boost a handful more great quality embryos! May 2023: Our first transfer failed unfortunately, but me, along with the Blue Ova team, who I met with primarily during this time, Robin, Tanja, and Allison, prevailed! They recommended I added in women's probiotics, a detox cleanse, red light therapy, and a break (for my body, and central nervous system). August 2023: After integrating all of the interventions as tailored exactly for my needs, we were pregnant! I saw Allison on a weekly basis throughout my pregnancy, leading up to warm-up labor, and I despite all the unpredictables during pregnancy, I felt very well taken care of. Fast forward to 38 weeks later, we finally had our sweet angel baby in our arms. We could not have braved our way navigating our fertility journey and the healthcare system without the support from Robin et al, but also from our doula and my therapist (specializes in IVF/pre-perinatal topics), yoga instructor, and prenatal massage therapist, all of who were recommended through Blue Ova. All of the office staff are so wonderful and welcoming, the clinic is very clean and serene, there are options for super early morning sessions or late evening ones too (for those with tight schedules!), and it's in the beautiful heart of Noe Valley. All boxes checked! And, if you couldn't tell by my novel of a review that Blue Ova is really the best in the game, this investment in yourself, your health, or whatever journey you are on is 100% worth it.

I can't recommend Blue Ova more highly. After years of fertility treatments, 4 failed IVF transfers, and every test my fertility clinic could think of, my fertility doctor couldn't figure out the cause of my unexplained infertility. A friend recommended Blue Ova to me, and I was so impressed with how thorough their analysis of my health and lifestyle was prior to putting together an extensive, customized treatment plan for me. I'm thrilled to report that it worked, and with their help, I had a healthy pregnancy and successful delivery. I like that they combine eastern and medicine practices, looking at lab work to determine how to best treat patients with acupuncture, etc. Plus, all of the technicians are incredibly friendly. I will absolutely be going back when I am considering getting pregnant again!

Blue Ova is truly a gem in the heart of San Francisco. First of all they are incredibly organized and it is very easy to book regular acupuncture appointments with them. They also offer competitive pricing packages allowing you to be regular and thus maximize the benefits of healing through acupuncture. I have been going to Blue Ova since mid 2022 as I was seeking holistic support to manage my diagnosed endometriosis and helped with my fertility issues. I absolutely loved the entire staff. From Robyn, Jessica, Alison, Tanja, Evelyn...you name it! Each and everyone of them is kind, extremely knowledgeable and above everything else full of empathy. I honestly believe that the Blue Ova services successfully helped me manage my endometriosis, chronic stress and eventually facilitated my ability to successfully get pregnant. Also, following their recommendation of frequency of visits has proven to be highly effective for me. Consistency of acupuncture is key!! Today I am a Mother to a healthy 3 month old and I am grateful to the team at Blue Ova to guiding me in terms of adjusting my lifestyle and diet to promote a healthy pregnancy. I really think that Blue Ova was critical in me getting pregnant thru IVF. Whenever things got complicated, the Blue Ova team were incredibly supportive of me physically and emotionally. They always offered a safe environment for me to share my health challenges. If you are looking to have children or in need of fertility or hormonal support, I highly recommend the Blue Ova team as they will offer you holistic as well as scientifically-backed support.

I am so grateful to the staff. The two acupuncturists I saw (Evelyn and Tanja) were amazing. I had three failed IVFs in the past before I booked with Blue Ova. No eggs or blasts due to egg quality. They pushed for me to get a second opinion to do mini IVF and an endometriosis diagnosis.
Stuck to Robin’s supplement recommendations to a T and had two acupuncture sessions a week. I prepped for my fourth IVF, I have a baseline of 1 follicle with AMH of 0.46 so not great to begin with. Managed to get 4 follicles with mini IVF and 4 eggs! Which is way more than the doctor even expected with mini IVF. I can’t recommend Blue Ova enough.

I love Blue Ova, a friend that I depend on. The acupuncturists are attentive, experienced, and gentle. It’s not painful at all. They share tips and provide advice that help me understand my body better and me relax whenever I need it. I recommend it to everyone!!
