Acupuncture is becoming an increasingly popular and effective treatment for couples undergoing IVF. Research has found that acupuncture improves the success rate of IVF by up to 65%, while also reducing stress and improving overall wellbeing. Acupuncture helps regulate reproductive hormones, increase blood flow to the uterus and ovaries, reduce inflammation, improve egg quality and embryo development, as well as reduce side effects from medications during the IVF process.

One of the most significant benefits of acupuncture for those undergoing IVF is its ability to help reduce anxiety and stress during this difficult process. The journey of IVF is beyond hard with many highs and lows, we are here to support and counsel you through the waves. Stress can interfere with hormonal balance and hinder egg production, making it more difficult for a woman’s body to become pregnant. Acupuncture helps relax the mind and body, which in turn helps increase the chances of conceiving a successful pregnancy.

In addition, acupuncture improves egg health by increasing blood flow into the ovaries. This increased circulation means that eggs have better access to oxygen-rich blood which promotes healthy growth and maturation. By improving egg quality, acupuncture can potentially increase both implantation rates and live birth rates when coupled with other fertility treatments such as IVF or IUI.

Acupuncture has also been found to help reduce common side effects associated with infertility drugs such as nausea, headaches, loss of appetite, fatigue, mood swings and cramping. By decreasing these side effects, women undergoing fertility treatments can feel more comfortable while they wait for their results.

For couples looking to start their conception journey or needing extra support in their fertility treatments, Acupuncture can be a great option to consider as part of their holistic approach. With its ability to help reduce stress levels as well as improving egg quality and implantation rates - it's no wonder why acupuncture is gaining popularity among those going through fertility treatments like IVF!
