Acupuncture & In Vitro Fertilization:
Electro-Acupuncture consisting of eight visits 4-6 weeks prior
to egg retrieval: normalizes uterine arterial blood flow (Human
Reproduction, Vol.11, No.6, 1996), optimizes uterine lining, increases
the number and quality of embryos and oocytes, calms the client,
promotes a sense of well being and decreases stress throughout
the IVF process.
Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medical treatment for male factor
infertility beginning 3-4 months prior to In Vitro procedure.
Useful for ALL anticipated ICSI cycles.
Treatment of women with high FSH levels or history of poor
stimulation in prior IVF or superovulation cycles
Stress reduction for both partners
Treatment of Egg Donors and Egg Donor Recipients
Treatment of clients undergoing FET (frozen embryo transfer)
Cost effective, safe, and very relaxing, our treatments typically
increase the overall cost of an IVF cycle by only 3-5%. The
positive impact on the success of an IVF cycle is well worth
the expense.
Please call our office as soon as you know
you will be doing In Vitro Fertilization. We prefer to start your
care about 4-6 weeks prior to your egg retrieval. Your nurse coordinator
will give you approximate dates for this. If you have a known
underlying medical condition causing your infertility, it may
be helpful for you to begin treatment earlier than this time frame.
You are welcome to call for an initial evaluation to make those
personal determinations. If there is a male factor involved, we
prefer to treat the man 3-4 months prior to the In Vitro Procedure,
as sperm cell production takes about 3 months time. While these
time frames are ideal, we are happy to work with you at any stage
of your treatment.
