Fertility-focused acupuncture treatment can complement your next IVF cycle by helping to balance your hormone levels and improve your fertility.
Help reduce stress and improve your overall wellbeing
Acupuncture is founded on the belief that the secret to a successful life — especially when creating a new one — lies in balancing our bodies so fertile ground can be created. This may involve removing blocks that make conception difficult. One of these blocks is stress, which is often amplified when conception repeatedly fails to happen. Then there’s medication (e.g. for depression or epilepsy) which can affect fertility. Even catching a simple cold can affect ovulation.
Used as a holistic therapy, acupuncture can help address various health issues at the same time – issues that may be disrupting your body’s natural balance and creating a state of infertility. When used around the time of embryo transfer, it can improve your overall wellbeing, and in turn, may give you a better chance of a successful outcome. If pregnant,
acupuncture may also help to treat issues such as morning sickness, heartburn and muscular aches.
