IVF/IUI Support
Studies have shown supplementing ART (Assisted Reproductive Technology) procedures with Acupuncture for IVF support at our Oakville clinic can improve outcomes by up to 65%. These include IVF, IUI, and drug-induced ovulation.
Sub-fertility is a modern-day concern. The number of couples resorting to IVF and IUI has tripled in the last decade. While such procedures do serve as an alternative for numerous underlying conditions, IVF and IUI can be physically, mentally, and emotionally draining. Hence preconception care is important when planning for reproductive procedures. Groundwork is just as important as the home run.
Acupuncture is a powerful modality to use as an adjunct with ART’s. Regular treatments leading up to IVF and IUI can help address so many of the side effects of these procedures as well as improve outcomes. It’s a win-win. Acupuncture performed pre and post-embryo transfer treatments done in the 24-hour window are particularly beneficial.
Why Choose IVF Enhancement with Acupuncture
Complement IVF preparation and treatment with acupuncture at our Oakville clinic, whether it’s to support the effects of IVF or reduce its side effects,
Acupuncture for IVF/IUI treatments can:
Enhance Uterine Environment
Increase blood flow to the uterus
This delivers vital nutrients and oxygen to the lining, creating a more receptive environment for implantation.
Resolve blockages by moving your Qi
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Qi is the vital energy that flows through the body. Acupuncture can help remove blockages in Qi flow, which may be hindering uterine health.
Increase circulation by stimulating the free flow of Qi
Improved circulation throughout the body, including the reproductive organs, ensures optimal delivery of nutrients and hormones.
Detox energy pathways so more nutrients are absorbed
Acupuncture can help clear any stagnant energy or toxins that might impede the absorption of nutrients necessary for a healthy pregnancy.
Reduce Side Effects and Enhance Sperm Quality
Reduce the negative effects of hormonal therapy
Side effects like headaches, bloating, and anxiety can result from hormonal therapy. Acupuncture can promote relaxation and balance hormones, potentially mitigating some common side effects of IVF medications.
Improve quality of eggs
While IVF increases the number of follicles, acupuncture may address egg quality by promoting better blood flow to the ovaries and potentially influencing follicular development.
Improved sperm count, motility, and morphology
Studies suggest acupuncture can significantly improve sperm health by increasing sperm count, motility (movement), and morphology (shape). This is especially beneficial for couples experiencing male factor infertility.
Support Implantation and Pregnancy
Minimize uterine contractions
Acupuncture post-transfer has been shown to have an antispasmodic effect. This can help prevent uterine contractions that might disrupt implantation.
Promote implantation
Acupuncture may create a more favorable uterine lining for embryo attachment.
Prevent miscarriages by supporting Qi
In TCM, Qi is linked to fertility and overall health. Acupuncture can help strengthen Kidney energy, potentially reducing the risk of miscarriage.
Additional Benefits
Reduce stress and anxiety
Acupuncture is known for its relaxing effects, which can be highly beneficial during the emotionally demanding process of IVF or IUI.
Boost overall well-being
By promoting relaxation, improving circulation, and potentially reducing side effects, acupuncture can contribute to a more positive experience throughout your fertility journey.
Cost-effective complementary therapy
Considering the high costs of IVF and IUI, acupuncture offers a relatively affordable and complementary therapy that can significantly improve the success rates of these procedures.
