Acupuncture and I.V.F
Fertility Acupuncture provides individualised IVF support programmes, for both men and women. It is recommended that acupuncture treatment starts at least three months prior to egg retrieval, where possible.
The treatment used has been created using evidence-based protocols. The protocol will vary depending on what stage of your IVF cycle you are at. Specific points are chosen during down-regulation, stimulation and pre and post embryo transfer.
Clinical research studies have shown that “those receiving acupuncture treatment in conjunction with IVF have significantly higher success rates.”
As well as maximising fertility, acupuncture has also shown to be effective in relieving some of the symptoms associated with IVF medications.
Most people who received acupuncture treatment during their IVF cycle claimed that they felt:
- proactive
- relaxed
- supported
- nurtured
during this very stressful time.
