    Acupuncture is an effective therapy that you can use in preparation. During and after your IVF cycle. Acupuncture uses tiny, solid needles to stimulate different points in your body that help to support various systems. For fertility, acupuncture can be used to not only help with stress. But it can help support the body to overcome underlying imbalances that may keep a couple from conceiving. Acupuncture also supports and encourages egg health. Healthy reproductive circulation. A healthy uterine lining. Hormonal balance and much more. Acupuncture on the day of embryo transfer significantly improves the reproductive outcome of IVF compared with no acupuncture. Repeating acupuncture two days past transfer provided no additional beneficial effect. To increase your chances even more. Make sure to seek out your acupuncturist well before your procedure so they are “on call” for after the procedure. Timing is crucial for this one.

    Infertility can take a terrible emotional toll on women and couples. Disappointment and heartbreak may go on for years. And by the time a patient seeks out fertility treatment their emotional reserves may be very low. Deciding to attempt IVF is a major life step, and while it brings with it a renewed sense of hope and purpose. It can be an intense experience for everyone involved. Managing the stress and the emotional rollercoaster of fertility treatment isn’t easy, but it is possible. With the right self-care and support you can thrive through this journey. There is so much to think about when you are considering acupuncture. The potential rewards are incredible, but the accompanying risks can be daunting. When you are discussing something as personal and emotional as adding a baby to your family. The classic “pros and cons” approach to making a life-changing decision can feel totally inadequate. And yet there are some risks that you must take into account. Dealing with these dualities isn’t easy.

    The reasons acupuncture can increase success rates aren’t fully understood. Ultrasounds have shown that acupuncture can improve uterine blood flow. Which may create a more hospitable environment for implantation. One thing most doctors and scientists seem to agree on is that acupuncture at the very least can have a calming effect on patients. While embroiled in the stress of fertility treatments, that improved relaxation can be crucial to overall wellness. Particularly when you understand how stress hormones can inhibit fertility. If for no other reason, acupuncture can be a great relaxation technique to rely on. Remember that acupuncture is not a guarantee that your IVF cycle will work. But it can be a natural way to improve your chances of success. Enjoy the relaxation benefits that acupuncture can provide, and sit back envisioning your healthy embryo accomplishing a smooth implantation into your uterus. The risks are limited when it comes to this alternative treatment, and the benefits can be well worth the few extra needle pricks required.

    The most immediate possible effect is that acupuncture served to “relax” the uterus around the time of the transfer. Several studies have shown that the uterus has contractions and that these contractions could cause expulsion of the transferred IVF embryos. If the contractions were reduced by acupuncture then that could be a mechanism for an improvement in IVF pregnancy rate. Many patients have been told that they should use acupuncture for IVF because they will respond better to medication. Many women with specific problems such as high FSH levels or miscarriages have been promised that acupuncture will cure all these problems. To date, however, there is no objective data that backs up these claims. The overwhelming anguish and sense of loss experienced by women struggling with infertility issues is an unwelcome motivator. Driving them to seek other treatment options to overcoming infertility. From home remedies, fertility drugs, and even surgery, to IVF and donor eggs and embryos. Modern healthcare has vastly expanded the array of options available for couples struggling to conceive.

    Hey there thank you so much for sharing this piece of information. I have recently been researching a lot on this. So many individuals have been telling me the benefits of acupuncture. However, whoever decides to opt for this make sure to consult your doctor first. It is always better to get the professional advice before moving forward with anything. Technology has provided us with ways which can help us in curing fertility. Before, this it was even extremely difficult for infertile couples to even dream. However, now with more and more improvements, a lot can be considered.

    Hey Tiffany. How are you doing? Well, this is totally new to me. This is very informative for all of us. I had heard about this first time and it really sounds very good to me. As I am infertile and planning to go for IVF I am interested to have this procedure. Will you please share some more information about this. Refer some good clinics for this treatment. And what are the costs for this treatment? Looking forward to your reply.

    This is an amazing post. It like a box of knowledge. Thank you for sharing this. For taking out the time to write this. I learned a lot from this. Being a psychology major I always knew about the benefits. Though I was oblivious to these tiny details. It actually was very informational for me. These are important things to know. When going for infertility treatments. It saves a lot of time. It makes the treatment efficient as you said. I am thinking to make a video on this. For my youtube channel. Thanks for the input.

    infertility can take an obnoxious eager toll on women and couples. Disappointment and disaster may proceed for a significantly long time. Moreover, when a patient quests out abundance treatment, their enthusiastic stores may be low. Attempting IVF is a critical life step and remembering that it conveys with it an energized feeling of desire and reason. It can be an outrageous issue for everyone included. It is always better to move the master direction before forwarding with anything. Development has outfitted us with ways which can help us in curing abundance. Beforehand, this it was even to an extraordinary degree troublesome for vain couples to attempt and dream. In any case, now with a regularly expanding number of upgrades, an awesome arrangement can be considered.

    Hi there how are you? Thank you so much. This was an amazing post. I was unaware of acupuncture. It was such a detailed post. It will bring the hope in the life of infertile couples. They give up because they lack awareness about such treatments. Keep up the good work.

    Dear tifanny! Hope so you are doing good. I just read your post. I really like to have the solution to every problem. Everything is becoming easy more than before. Such methods helping people a lot in their fight against infertility. Despite everything, I don’t know why people lose hope after failing once or twice. Maybe it is due to lack of awareness among people or lack of techniques in their country. Such methods are also illegal in many countries. I hope it would be legalized because it is becoming the need for almost everyone. I’m also thankful for sharing this.
