We understand the struggle and heart-break that many
women and men go through when infertility is as issue.
Acupuncture helps to alleviate stress and regulate the
hormones so the body is well balanced and prepared to
create a baby. Below are articles written about
Acupuncture treatments in conjunction with medical
procedures for infertility. Acupuncture can
increase the probability of pregnancy.

"There have been a number of
studies performed at IVF centers around the world,
which have demonstrated that acupuncture may have
some benefit in treating infertility when used along
with IVF. It has been shown in these studies that
there is an increased embryo
implantation rate and increased pregnancy rate when
acupuncture is used
compared to women who did not
have acupuncture or had a sham acupuncture control.
These studies revealed that acupuncture is best used
during the stimulation phase of IVF and at the time
of
embryo transfer. There was
no additional benefit found by adding extra
treatments after the embryos had been transferred.
Although there is still much research to be done,
these preliminary results suggest that the use of
acupuncture along with IVF may be of value in some
women."

The theory is that acupuncture can affect the
autonomic nervous system, which is involved in the
control of muscles and glands, and could therefore
make the lining of the uterus more receptive to
receiving an embryo..."

"...Researchers have also
discovered that acupuncture can boost blood flow to
women's reproductive organs, providing them with
better nourishment. In addition, acupuncture appears
to improve the lining of the uterus, the place where
the embryo becomes embedded after conception. This
lining is like "the soil in a garden", Chang
explained, "if it is undernourished, the embryo
won't attach itself, and the pregnancy will not
continue..."
