IVF Acupuncture For Better Live Births
The Role of Acupuncture In IVF Support
Acupuncture may help improve the chance of success for people going through IVF. Acupuncture is an ancient treatment used for over 2000 years to manage and treat health conditions. A study in "Reproductive Biomedicine" found that using acupuncture along with fertility treatments increases the chances of success.
Acupuncture for IVF Support

Many couples struggling to get pregnant on their own seek IVF treatments. This fertility and pregnancy treatment helps ensure conception happens before an embryo transfer. This treatment is helpful if one partner has a low sperm count or does not ovulate often enough. Still, it's even more necessary in these cases for couples where both of them suffer from these issues.
IVF treatments can be costly, especially with all the fees you must pay for a fertility specialist. Surgery is a process that takes time and needs medical attention if something goes wrong. Therefore, the procedure can be expensive, so ensure you prepare for the potential costs.
Sometimes people have to try more than once to get pregnant using IVF. These multiple attempts occur because the embryo might not implant the first time correctly. IVF procedures may have a hefty price tag that can be expensive for some patients. Luckily there's IVF acupuncture!
How Is Acupuncture Used to Treat Women Undergoing Fertility Treatment?

IVF acupuncture helps increase blood flow in the uterus. It also helps improve the number of eggs transferred during IVF.
If you are interested in using acupuncture for IVF support, you should start around three months before your cycle begins. IVF acupuncture will allow you time to monitor your period cycle and sufficiently address fertility issues. You can manage these issues with personalised treatments if you have problems like no ovulating, irregular periods, or high-stress levels.
Can Men Use Acupuncture to Improve Their Fertility Too?
Chinese medicine works for men's fertility, as well. Men who want to increase their fertility and have a higher birth rate can have treatment before sperm collection. Acupuncture points help increase the chances of having a baby in the same way as it does with women. The treatment will improve the blood flow to men's inner and outer reproductive organs. Some men may also find that IVF acupuncture helps improve conditions that significantly impact fertility and pregnancy, such as erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, or a low sperm count.
Who Can Have Acupuncture for IVF Support Done?

IVF Acupuncture is one of the safest natural health treatments that leading fertility specialists recommend. Therefore, any woman and man who wants to increase their chances of a higher birth rate can have IVF acupuncture. The treatment must be in a safe, clean environment by a registered acupuncturist with good IVF support experience.
Why Is ET Acupuncture NOT The Optimised Solution
ET (Embryo Transfer) acupuncture has become popular since the Paulus Study 2002 published clinical trials in 2002. The report showed promising results for improved pregnancy rates. Acupuncture increased the rate of pregnancies by 16.2%, compared to the control group, which had a rate of 26.3%.
The Paulus finding and other practitioners that followed were undoubtedly why our clinic initially opened. However, acupuncture on the day of transfer has never been all the recommendation we can give.
Our clinic offers acupuncture on the day of embryo transfer. Our acupuncture treatment is based on the research done by Paulus in 2002 and more recent findings. Chinese herbal medicine also offers extra benefits internally for period regulation on top of ET acupuncture.
As new research continues to emerge, our treatments and recommendations evolve. The benefit of a higher dose of acupuncture is that it leads to better results. Our clinic began to recommend therapy before and during the IVF cycle.
What Else Can Acupuncture Treat?
People can do a few different things to increase their chances of in vitro fertilisation working faster. Besides using acupuncture and the treatment given by a fertility specialist, IVF acupuncture is also beneficial for those who need help with irregular periods and high-stress levels.
Many people who are struggling with stress and anxiety use acupuncture to improve their mood without prescripted medications. As mentioned above, acupuncture also relieves pain in the joints and muscles. And it can reduce nauseous in women's early pregnancy.
