✨ Planning IVF? Here’s how acupuncture can support you every step of the way ✨
Starting acupuncture 3 months before IVF, along with healthy lifestyle choices like a balanced diet and regular exercise, can help regulate hormones and support egg quality.
While we can’t change an egg’s DNA, we can improve the environment in which it grows and that can make a big difference when it comes to it’s potential to fertilise and develop.
🩺 During Stimulation:
Acupuncture boosts blood flow to the ovaries and uterus, helping deliver nutrients, oxygen, and medication, supporting follicle growth and building a healthy endometrial lining.
⏳ Between Trigger & Egg Collection:
This is all about final egg maturation. Acupuncture can also help manage symptoms of OHSS if these are present (alongside any medical treatment for this condition).
🌱 Around Embryo Transfer:
Treatments on transfer day (before, after or both) focus on reducing uterine contractions, improving blood flow, supporting implantation, and easing stress.
⏳ The Two-Week Wait:
Acupuncture helps maintain optimal hormone levels, promotes endometrial receptivity and supports your emotional wellbeing during this crucial time.
During an IVF cycle, acupuncture can also help to reduce the side effects of medication, improve sleep, reduce anxiety and give you space to feel supported and heard.
