Acupuncture

Acupuncture has become a frequently used treatment prior to and during in-vitro fertilisation. Acupuncture is a therapy-based treatment, so it is usually done in a series of treatments to treat various symptoms.

Much like exercise, it is best done regularly and frequently. It is typically performed during the lead-up to an IVF cycle and immediately before and after embryo transfer, at times when your body will benefit the most from being fully relaxed.

How acupuncture can help

  • Enhance the possibility of IVF success by improving diminished ovarian reserve markers.
  • Normalizes menstrual cycle and hormone levels.
  • Increases your likelihood of a successful birth by supporting your body’s overall health during pregnancy.
  • Improves pregnancy outcomes if you have experienced recurrent pregnancy loss.
  • Increases blood flow to the uterus and ovaries, which can improve the quality of eggs and heighten the chances of a successful implantation.
  • Returns ovulation if you have stopped ovulating due to Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS).
