There has been a high success rate when an IVF or IUI procedure is administered with acupuncture for fertility! It is said to help in promoting optimal health, and a healthy body increases chances of conceiving.
To give you an idea on how this set-up will work, let this short article guide you with the process!
IVF and Acupuncture
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in Singapore believes your infertility is caused by imbalances in your body that need to be corrected first. With the help of acupuncture treatments and herbs, you can achieve balance and get your body ready for the IVF procedure.
First acupuncture: it shall occur within your cycle day five to eight, during the Follicle Stimulation (the process of hormone injection to produce one or two follicles).
Second acupuncture: for your cycle day nine to thirteen, 24 hours before the retrieval, you shall get another acupuncture treatment.
Third acupuncture: happens 48 hours before IVF transfer. I will help thicken the uterine lining and open the cervix for a smooth transfer of the fertilised eggs.
Fourth acupuncture: occurs three to five days after the transfer. It will aid the embryo to attach to the thick uterine lining so it can grow.
IUI and Acupuncture
What makes IUI different from IVF is that it aims to give you sperm quality through the washing method. It also has a high success rate, but it can still go up with consistent acupuncture treatment for fertility. The process goes:
First acupuncture: within cycle day three to seven, acupuncture will strengthen the Follicle Stimulation.
Second acupuncture: in the second week of your cycle, or pre-ovulation period. The sperm are washed at this point.
Third acupuncture: occurs three to five days after the insemination process. Since the process is done at this point, acupuncture is the key for strong embryo attachment.
Fourth acupuncture: two weeks after the implantation treatment.
