Acupuncture Treatment During IVF

Initial consultation

Acupuncture for IVF support usually begins with an initial preparation period of approximately 3 months. During this time, your acupuncturist will discuss your diet, lifestyle, general health and address the treatments you may have. In addition, it is important to get any results from FSH levels, low AMH, etc. from your own Western doctor. Acupuncturists usually record your menstrual cycle, length, regularity, etc. in detail.

During the IVF

During the period when you will "down" and "stimulate", acupuncture can help maintain the free flow of energy and keep you calm and energized. The goal is to support the body during this tense period. In addition, the purpose of acupuncture is to optimize the body's "qi" to ensure healthy follicular growth and good endometrial thickness. This will help the egg to collect and maintain a certain calm throughout the process.

After egg collection

This treatment is performed immediately after collecting the eggs. This will help with post-operative care and accelerate the healing of vital organs, helping to reduce internal swelling. The goal is to keep the "qi" energy flowing to the area of ​​interest and ensure optimal conditions for embryo implantation.

Pre-embryo transfer

This treatment aims to dilate the cervix and heat the uterus, creating the perfect conditions for egg transfer.

After embryo transfer

This treatment occurs after the embryo has metastasized to the uterus. The purpose of this treatment is to relax and calm the patient and maintain an upward energy pattern to ensure that the embryo stays in the uterus.

Implant therapy

This treatment occurs 4-7 days after implantation and this is consistent with the time at which the embryo will naturally implant along the endometrium. This treatment can promote the endometrium as thick and oxygenated as possible. At this point, the goal is also to support and relax the patient throughout the waiting period.

Pregnancy support treatment

Additional treatment during pregnancy ensures a smoother ride. Problems such as morning sickness, anxiety, breech and preparation for labor are just some of the areas covered by acupuncture.
