Acupuncture & IVF
The British Medical Journal (BMJ) recently published a systematic review and meta-analysis of research which shows that acupuncture increases IVF success rates. For example one of the most well known pieces of research showed the pregnancy rate for a group of women undergoing IVF to be higher than for the control group not receiving acupuncture (42.5% versus 26.3%). This impressive result, using a simple acupuncture protocol shows the fantastic potential that acupuncture offers alongside assisted conception techniques.
This protocol of treatment is something that I offer all my fertility patients undergoing IVF as part of their package of care with me. From experience, I find that a few weeks of preparation using either acupuncture alone, or combined with herbs before starting IVF can greatly help women go through the process more successfully and adopting a truly holistic approach is something that I am very keen to encourage and support all my patients to undertake.

Acupuncture at Embryo Transfer
If you have not yet received any acupuncture and you are undergoing IVF now and simply wish to use acupuncture on the day of embryo transfer, I offer this service whenever it is possible. As I work from my home-based clinic, I am usually able to be flexible and can see patients seven days a week if required. Please contact me ahead of the estimated embryo transfer day to arrange a booking.
Patient testimonial
"I just wanted to send you this e-mail with some photo's attached of our daughter. She is just fabulous and I have you to partly thank for it. I really feel that the treatment and support that I had from you before, during my IVF treatment and immediately afterwards really helped us to get to where we are today. You are a star!"
