IVF and Acupuncture: When to Schedule Your Appointments

Chinese Medicine is about treating the cause, not just the symptoms and relies on a series of treatments to balance the body and maintain health.

We recommend acupuncture weekly during and between cycles:

Pre-Egg collection Phase - Weekly treatments plus a treatment 1-2 Days.
Pre-Transfer Phase - 1-2 days prior to the transfer to increase blood flow into the uterine lining.
Post-Transfer Phase - on the day of transfer or 1-2 days after transfer.
Specially selected and individually made herbal formula or supplements may be given either throughout the cycle or only prior to transfer. This depends upon yours and your IVF Doctors agreement for herbs or supplements to be used during cycles.

We recommend acupuncture weekly during and between cycles again, but we our aim is slightly different.

Preparation Phase
Pre-Transfer/Insemination Phase - 1-2 days prior
Post-Transfer Phase - on the day of transfer/insemination or 1-2 days after transfer/insemination.
Regular Acupuncture Specially selected and individually made herbal formula or supplements may be given either throughout the cycle or only prior to transfer. This depends upon yours and your IVF Doctors agreement for herbs or supplements to be utilized during cycles.
