Acupuncture and IVF


Using acupuncture along with IVF is becoming very common, and there have been many studies on this subject in recent years that acupuncture increases the chances of successful IVF treatment in 40-50%.

The treatment works in two directions - continuing the process of in vitro fertilization to improve every step of the process, and helps you cope with side effects of drugs, as well as reduce stress and help others with health problems that arise along the way.

Therefore, increases the probability of successful IVF and after childbirth, women who have acupuncture treatment, and feel happier, more positive and relaxed during the process. In my experience, women tell me that they use a lot of acupuncture, and found that really helped by the fact that, as a rule, very tense time.

There are many different ways to work with acupuncture and IVF, and every acupuncturist has a slightly different approach. As a rule, have weekly acupuncture treatment during the whole process of IVF, and ideally should begin shortly before the start of IVF.

Acupuncture needles can be placed at points throughout the body. As a rule, you may have a few on the legs or feet, and a pair in the lower abdomen. Points in the hand or the back can be used, depending on the individual stories and general health, and in the center of acupuncture. Treatment is not painful, and often is actually very relaxing.
