IVF & ART Support
Acupuncture & IVF Support
TCM practitioners have long believed that acupuncture can help improve the success of assisted fertility treatments. Now several studies have measured the effect of adding acupuncture to an IVF protocol.
Overall, the studies show acupuncture improved a woman’s chances of pregnancy by 65%. 
Many patients now ask us for help during their IVF treatment. We have therefore put together a two-session package to assist couples who are seeking acupuncture whilst undergoing an IVF programme.
Session 1 is given on the 2nd or 3rd day after egg retrieval (pick up/harvest/collection). This treatment reduces any trauma in the uterus after the surgery. It relaxes the uterus and cervix, stops excessive clotting and re-establishes healthy circulation in the uterus. This treatment helps prepare you for pregnancy.
Session 2 is given ASAP after embryo transfer to increase the blood flow in your uterus to make it softer, moister and richer. All this makes creates a more receptive uterine lining & facilitates implantation.
Chinese Medicine & IVF treatment
By improving the quality of your eggs &sperm, by improving the flow of blood through your reproductive system and by balancing your hormones, we give you the best chance of achieving and maintaining a healthy pregnancy. As a result, the assisted cycles you have will be more effective.
Natural medicine takes time – most couples will see & feel the benefits of our treatment in the first month and continue to improve through a 3rd or 4th month. So to get the most from our treatment we recommend you start several cycles before you embark on assisted fertility treatment.
We will not start herbal fertility treatment once you are taking drugs for any assisted reproduction treatment. You might consider acupuncture support.
