Acupuncture & assisted reproductive technology
Find out how acupuncture can help you:
-
relieve stress
-
optimise health for better chances of conceiving
-
find balance and a calmer mind
It is common for women to seek acupuncture treatments in preparation for and while they are going through ART (assisted reproductive technology), especially IVF.
Acupuncture can provide assistance during this time on several levels:
Reduction of stress and optimising your health as far as possible is primary.
Talking through specific issues with an accompanying diagnosis from the acupuncture perspective is the route to tailoring treatment to your specific needs.
Taking time to talk through your situation before and during treatments is part of the process in working with and dissolving the stress impact on your body.
Ideally, working at this level, it is best to commence acupuncture sessions at least 6-8 weeks before your IVF process begins. This is a clinical reality, where preparation, lifestyle and dietary adjustments together with the effects of acupuncture need time to implement. If this fits with how you want to approach your fertility journey booking a consultation to discuss your circumstances is the next step.
