Acupuncture & IVF

Research has shown that women who receive acupuncture before undergoing IVF have higher success rates. Many IVF clinics recommend acupuncture as a complementary treatment to help reduce stress and improve blood flow to the reproductive organs.

Research shows that having acupuncture whilst undergoing IVF increases pregnancy rates.

Beyond supporting hormone balance, reducing stress, and enhancing fertility, working with an acupuncturist also provides the opportunity to speak with someone who understands both the scientific and emotional aspects of the fertility journey.

Acupuncture should ideally be used in the run-up to starting IVF treatment and throughout. If this is not possible I would recommend having treatment prior to egg retrieval, and before and after embryo transfer. IVF can be both physically and emotionally demanding, prioritizing your overall well-being is essential. Simple steps to support your health include getting plenty of rest, maintaining a nutritious diet, staying hydrated, and taking time to relax and engage in activities you enjoy.
