Acupuncture for Fertility
How Can Acupuncture for Fertility Help Me
Patients often come to us because they want to combine acupuncture and Chinese medicine with their Western fertility treatments to improve the success of their IVF or IUI protocols. A series of acupuncture treatments prior to, and during, a cycle will:
- Increase blood flow to the ovaries
- Improve egg quality
- Enrich the endometrium
- Mitigate the uncomfortable and unpleasant side effects of the drugs and hormones used in the cycles
- Improve overall success rates
We offer onsite acupuncture treatments at your fertility clinic, pre and post embryo transfer, as well and can make ourselves available on days we aren’t typically open for our fertility patients. Studies show that receiving acupuncture immediately before and after your transfer almost doubles the rate of success. It is recommended that you begin acupuncture three months prior to your IUI or your IVF cycle, however, we believe you walk through our door whenever the time is right for you.
