HBOT increases tissue oxygenation and microcirculation and can help calm inflammation and oxidative stress - factors that influence endometrial receptivity and sperm quality. It’s used as a supportive (adjunct) therapy, not a stand-alone treatment for infertility.

Evidence is early and limited. Small studies and clinical experience suggest HBOT may support endometrial thickness/blood flow, oocyte environment, and recovery after procedures, but it has not been proven to increase pregnancy or live-birth rates. Use it only alongside your fertility team’s plan.

Common approaches:

• Pre-conception / pre-stimulation: 4–8 weeks to support baseline circulation and cellular energy.

• Stimulation / endometrial prep: up to the day before egg collection or transfer (if your clinic agrees).

• After egg collection: to support comfort and recovery.
  Most clinics ask patients to pause from transfer until the pregnancy test. Always follow your clinician’s timing.

Elective HBOT is generally avoided during pregnancy (it’s reserved for emergencies like carbon-monoxide exposure). For fertility use, we typically pause after embryo transfer and do not restart if the test is positive unless your obstetric team advises otherwise.

HBOT may support uterine blood flow and oxygenation, creating a more receptive environment. It can be considered alongside medications or other therapies your clinic recommends. Evidence is promising but not definitive.

It may help modulate inflammation and oxidative stress and support metabolic/cellular energy, which some people with endometriosis or PCOS find helpful. It is not a cure, but a potential adjunct to medical care, nutrition, and lifestyle strategies.

HBOT can help reduce oxidative stress and support sperm motility/morphology in some men. Because spermatogenesis takes ~74–90 days, many programmes run 8–12 weeks before a planned retrieval or collection. Results vary and aren’t guaranteed.

Typical at-home plans use 60–90 minutes per session, 5–7 days/week for 20–40+ sessions before a key cycle stage (with the option to continue between cycles). We tailor frequency to your energy, schedule and clinic guidance.

There are no common direct interactions reported with these medicines at mild pressures, but always inform your fertility team and follow their advice on timing relative to stimulation, retrieval and transfer.

Yes - some people find sessions help calm pelvic inflammation/oedema, ease tenderness, and support day-to-day comfort as part of post-procedure recovery.

Pricing is a flat-rate 6-week rental with no per-session fees. In NZ, HBOT is generally not covered by ACC or standard health insurance outside hospital indications.

We provide at-home HBOT with delivery, set-up and unlimited sessions during your rental, making it easier to stay consistent through cycles. Pricing depends on programme length - ask us for current rates.
