Acupuncture & IVF: A Happy Marriage

Posted on April 2, 2015 by Inception Fertility

Eastern cultures have been using acupuncture for fertility therapy for centuries, and Western science now has shown that it can:

  • Improve blood flow to the uterus, which helps the lining grow strong and healthy enough to support an embryo.
  • Reduce cramping after IVF retrieval and transfer.
  • Reduce the side effects of anesthesia after retrieval.
  • Stimulate egg production, for women who can’t, or don’t want to, use fertility medication to help them get pregnant.
  • Regulate and stabilize hormone levels.
  • Reduce the chance of miscarriage.
  • Reduces stress and promotes deep relaxation, which are absolutely critical if you’re trying to get pregnant, especially if you’re undergoing any kind of traditional fertility treatment such as IVF.
