FERTILITY ACUPUNCTURE
Holistic Treatment and Support
Through the physiological effects that acupuncture has demonstrated to have on the body and the reproductive system, acupuncture can benefit fertility in the following areas:
​
• Improve ovarian health and functioning
• Produce healthier, better quality eggs
• Regulate hormones
• Regulate the menstrual cycle
• Recruit larger numbers of ovarian follicles
• Increase blood flow to the uterus and ovaries
• Increase ovarian response to gonadotropin hormones
• Prepare uterine lining for implantation
• Promote healthy tubal environment
• Relax the patient to induce parasympathetic nervous system dominance
• Increase success rates in ART cycles: IUI, IVF, FET
• Lessen side-effects of ART treatment
• Mitigate the downstream effects of IVF stimulation in the uterine environment to enhance implantation and ongoing pregnancy rates
• Decrease miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy rates
