Research shows that acupuncture treatment supports IVF therapy in the following ways:
  • Increases blood flow to the ovaries during stimulation phase, improving the effectiveness of the fertility medications.
  • Relaxes the uterus and reduces spasm following embryo transfer.
  • Calms the mind, helping to mitigate stress and other side effects of fertility medication.

When should I start my treatment?

We recommend starting acupuncture treatments the week before your IVF cycle. Patients may wish to contact us with any specific questions.

Frozen Embryo Transfers

Acupuncture improves blood flow to the pelvic organs, helping to build a strong and healthy uterine lining ready for embryo transfer. Although every patient’s needs and timeline are unique, we recommend seeking treatment in the weeks leading up to your FET. Patients may wish to contact us with any specific questions.

On-Site Treatment

Our team offers on-site acupuncture treatment at the Regional Fertility Program to both pre-existing and new patients. Treatment is done immediately before and after embryo transfer. Please contact us to make arrangements.
