It is well known that acupuncture during IVF treatment enhances the potential to conceive. I aim to see clients 2-3 months before their projected retrieval date to regulate hormones and improve blood flow, which helps thicken the uterine lining for implantation. Acupuncture during IVF stimulation phase is particularly beneficial, as it increases oxygenated blood flow to the ovaries and enhances the delivery of stimulation medications like Follistim or Gonal F. I also provide acupuncture before embryo transfer and acupuncture after embryo transfer all on the same day because this protocol of acupuncture day of embryo transfer has been associated with a 55% increase in live births. This holistic approach supports the nervous system, improves overall fertility, and significantly increases the chances of a healthy pregnancy.
