One of the increasingly prominent aspects of my fertility acupuncture practice is in providing supportive treatments to women going through IVF and IUI treatments for infertility.

How does acupuncture help during these treatments?

Most women experience some degree of stress during the IVF process and usually leading up to the decision to seek this treatment.

• Acupuncture helps to down regulate the stress response and return the body and mind to a state of calm.

• Acupuncture helps to bring blood and nutrients to the pelvic region, the uterus and the ovaries. It doing so it helps to increase the uterine lining to provide an optimal environment for embryo transfer.

• It helps with follicle development by bringing vital nutrients via blood flow the the ovaries.

• Acupuncture treatments can help reduce the side effects of IVF medications and procedures.

• Treatments have been shown to substantially increase the success rates of IVF treatments.

• It is supportive especially in the first few weeks of early pregnancy in women who have had recurrent miscarriage.
