Acupuncture for ART & IVF

​

​

Acupuncture is ideal when used as complementary therapy to IVF treatment. 

 

As receiving IVF treatment can be a very emotional and stressful experience, acupuncture can be used to reduce stress and provide relaxation. For these reasons, acupuncture can enhance the success of IVF treatment. 

 

Acupuncture is also effective in managing the symptoms and reducing side effects caused by IVF treatments. It will:

 

  • Manage the symptoms of OHSS (ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome)

  • Minimise any side effects caused as a result of taking IVF or fertility drugs

​

If you know you are undergoing an assisted fertility treatment such as an IVF, I recommend starting your treatments early in order to regulate and prepare your body to get best results. I generally recommend having acupuncture sessions at least once a week to prepare you for the embryo transfer and support implantation. 

 

When it comes to having the embryo transfer, I strongly advise that you receive acupuncture treatments between 24 and 48 hours before and after the transfer.
