Can Acupuncture help women with fertility?
News 8's Jocelyn Maminta reports.
Acupuncture for IVF Success - Infertility TV
Learn the latest scientific proof (2019) about acupuncture and IVF Success. You will be surprised!
As an IVF expert with a busy clinical practice, I am constantly asked about other things that a couple can do to increase their chances for #IVF success. Questions about #acupuncture are the most common.
If you do a search in the National Library of Medicine, you will find over 100 articles about acupuncture and IVF success. But, if you narrow that down to only clinical studies in which real acupuncture was compared to fake or sham acupuncture, you get a much more manageable number.
Perhaps the best study to date was was conducted at 16 IVF centers in Australia and New Zealand and involved over 800 women undergoing a fresh IVF cycle. This makes it one of the largest and best designed clinical studies.of acupuncture and IVF success.
The results? Acupuncture did not result in any higher pregnancy rates. In other words, for improving IVF success, acupuncture failed. These results match those of a Danish study of over 600 IVF couples and a Chicago study of 160 patients and well you get the idea.
However, don’t click away yet. These studies did not reveal lower IVF pregnancy rates with acupuncture, they just weren’t any better. In other words, acupuncture didn’t harm the chances for IVF success, it just didnt help. Also, many patients found the experience pleasurable or relaxing.
So bottom line IVF patients: If you are thinking of doing acupuncture solely to increase your chance for pregnancy, then save your money. If you are thinking of doing acupuncture for fun or relaxation, go ahead, it won’t lower your chance for success

HOW ACUPUNCTURE TREATMENTS CAN IMPROVE YOUR FERTILITY
Hey guys! Check out this series of 30 fertility boosting, trying to conceive videos, posted in 30 days!
Acupuncture is the insertion of thin, disposable sterile needles at strategic points near the surface of the body. Over 2,000 acupuncture points on the human body connect with 14 major pathways, called meridians. Chinese medicine practitioners believe that these meridians conduct qi, or energy, between the surface of the body and internal organs. It is qi that regulates spiritual, emotional, mental and physical balance. When the flow of qi energy is disrupted through poor health habits or other circumstances, pain and/or disease can result. Acupuncture helps to keep the normal flow of this energy unblocked.
Acupuncture can increase fertility by reducing stress, increasing blood flow to the reproductive organs and balancing the endocrine system, according to several studies and medical research. Acupuncture can provide better blood flow to the ovaries and uterus, creating a stronger chance for an egg to be nourished and carried to term.

Moving the Needle: Why Fertility Acupuncture Deserves the Hype
In this video, we will cover the basics of acupuncture for fertility treatments. We will explain the convergence of the old and the new, the traditional and the modern, Eastern and Western. Why? Because when it comes to fertility, your best chances for success are when you treat the whole person. And we have the studies and babies to prove it. For starters, here are a few key points that speak to why assisted reproduction technologies (ART) are at the forefront of modern medicine:
Over 8 million babies have been born with IVF since its first success in 1978.
Embryo screening and genetic evaluations have drastically improved over the past decade, causing implantation rates to soar.
IVF has an overall success rate of nearly 30%... that jumps to about 40% for women under 35.
So, where does acupuncture tie in? Why does acupuncture, a practice that started in China thousands of years ago, deserve a place at the family-building table? What makes a 7mm needle as important, useful, and effective as a $35,000 machine? How can such scientific advancements mesh so nicely and arguably, necessarily, with ancient eastern medicine?
Let’s find out.

When to start acupuncture with IVF? Does acupuncture help IVF?
Follow us on Instagram:
Follow us on Facebook:
In this video, Dr. Zoe Rankin discusses when you should get acupuncture for IVF for the best outcomes. For more information on the exact timing of acupuncture with IVF, head to Dr. Zoe's latest blog post,
Many people believe that they should first start acupuncture when they begin their IVF journey (i.e. taking the fertility drugs).
Some may think that it is only helpful for pre and post-transfer, and others just believe that it is only helpful for keeping them calm throughout the process.
And yes, acupuncture is good for all of the above, but, we don’t just want good, we want great
This means that acupuncture is very effective at the above times, but for better results, we ideally require more time to prepare the body for IVF.
So, when to start acupuncture with IVF?
You need weekly sessions prior to commencing IVF treatment for 12 months, with a minimum of 6 months of treatment if you absolutely cannot wait.
Hey, that sounds like a lot! I hear you say.
Why I firmly recommend this;
What you may have now come to realise, is that for some of us, falling pregnant is not as easy as what our parents may have led us to believe.
It can sometimes take years to fall pregnant without help.
There are a lot of factors that go into creating a baby. Therefore, there are many investigations that need to be undertaken to find out why you need IVF in the first place (In our clinic we run all fertility and IVF patients through a 150 point check, to diagnose their underlying factors).
If you are going down the IVF route, then you and your partner, for one reason or another, are unable to conceive naturally ( Not including same-sex couples using IVF, and those who are single parenting).
And oftentimes, your primary health care provider or IVF specialist is unable to give you clear and concise answers as to why you cannot fall pregnant naturally.
Fortunately, Chinese medicine has an entirely unique and comprehensive way of diagnosing infertility, that we can give you a clear reason why you have not yet conceived, and a plan on how to change this.
Does doing IVF mean I can get around the underlying causes of my infertility?
Yes, and no.
IVF is amazing in what it is able to achieve, yet there are many factors that contribute to fertility issues that IVF technology is still not able to circumnavigate.
For example, If you have a gynaecological condition that is affecting your fertility, such as PCOS or endometriosis, you may have trouble conceiving even with IVF.
The reason for this is your body may not be so great at producing good quality eggs ( even with IVF drugs), your endometrial lining for implantation may not be adequate, or you may have a host of other hormonal imbalances that can’t be fixed quickly with IVF drugs.
In other cases, for example, a blocked fallopian tube or very poor sperm, IVF may be the only chance for conception and is absolutely worth doing.
Is it worth getting my partner in for acupuncture too?
With fertility, “it takes two to tango” as the famous saying goes.
An embryo is made up of both an egg and a sperm, which means that both parties' reproductive systems need to be performing at their best.
This means that we need to get you and your partner to optimal health in order to achieve the best results, and there are often plenty of things fellas can do to help optimise their swimmers!
What if you don’t have 12 months to prepare?
We know that sometimes you only find out about the benefits of acupuncture a few weeks before egg collection, or embryo transfer- and that’s ok.
Does acupuncture help IVF?
Many people wonder, how does acupuncture help with IVF. Acupuncture is amazing at instantly clearing away any stress that will help prepare you for your IVF treatment, whether it is next week or right after a transfer.
So even if you don’t have 12 months to fine-tune your system, you can still enjoy the benefits of:
Calming the nervous system and reducing stress (which we all know is good for fertility)
Reducing pain and inflammation after IVF drugs and egg collection
Relief from menstrual pain and stress
Helping you with the side effects of drugs by helping to reduce stress, anxiety, and fatigue
Coaching, support, and advice through each step of the IVF process
IVF can be scary, overwhelming and expensive. And we want to help you get the absolute most out of the process.
