Acupuncture for IVF

My suggested optimal schedule for using acupuncture to enhance IVF results is below. Please keep in mind that individual circumstances may vary and so can treatment.

Before Starting Your Cycle (2-3 Months):

• Weekly sessions: Focus on regulating your menstrual cycle, balancing hormones ,and improving pelvic blood flow to enhance egg quality and overall wellbeing. This lays the foundation for a healthy reproductive system.

• Additional considerations: Depending on your specific health concerns, I might recommend more frequent sessions or address related issues like stress management and sleep quality.

During Your Cycle:

• Weekly to twice-weekly sessions: Continue supporting egg development,endometrial lining thickness, and managing stress levels. Adjustments might be made based on your cycle phase and medication usage.

• Key points: Consider acupuncture:

  • Day 3 of your cycle: To potentially improve follicular growth.

  • 1 week into stimulation cycle: optimise blood flow to your ovaries to support follicle development.

  • Pre-embryo transfer (morning of or evening before): Enhance uterine receptivity and promote relaxation.

  • Post-embryo transfer (afternoon of the next day): reduce any cramping, calm the nervous system.

  • 3-5 day post embryo transfer: support implantation, reduce anxiety

  • Weekly during early pregnancy: continue to support implantation and calm the nerves system.
