Acupuncture for IVF

Currently, about 17% of couples in industrialised countries seek medical advice for infertility. This can be a tough journey, often leading to feelings of fear, anxiety and even guilt.

Acupuncture can help in several ways:
– Regulating fertility hormones. Acupuncture regulates gonadotrophin release hormone from the hypothalamus, follicle stimulating hormone from the pituitary gland, and oestrogen and progesterone from the ovaries.
– Increasing blood flow to the reproductive organs.
– Increasing egg production and improving on egg quality.
– Promoting embryo implantation.

My fertility patients also talk about the benefit from having the “me time” of an acupuncture treatment where they feel cared for and listened to, and can relax from the stress of medical interventions.
