The protocols we use, which have been developed and refined since we first started back in 2004, have several key benefits for those undergoing IVF, all of which are supported by reputable scientific sources to support many factors that lead to successful IVF outcomes, including:
- Increased blood flow to the ovaries during stims. More blood flow into the ovaries = more medicine, oxygen, and nutrients for the eggs which leads to optimal egg quality and higher blast rates.
- Increased flow of wastes out of the ovarian and follicular environment. Something many don’t think about, but just as important for egg quality, is the removal of oxidative by-products and cellular wastes from the tissue surrounding and the fluid inside the follicles. This takes stress off the egg inside each follicle as it grows.
- Increased uterine receptivity during transfer. Acupuncture has been shown to reduce the “micro-spasms” of the uterine wall that sometimes occur and can make implantation more difficult for the embryo.
- Decreased inflammation in the ovaries and uterus. Excessive inflammation is a known disruptor of all growth and regenerative processes in the body. When present in the reproductive organs, it causes increased stress on the follicles, eggs, and uterine lining, leading to a decrease in normal function.
- Better response to stims and transfer medications. Low oxygen and nutrient states + higher inflammatory load = less efficient response to FSH which is the primary medicine used to stimulate the ovaries for retrieval. The same holds true for response to transfer meds. With our protocols we see dramatic improvements in both blast counts and lining thickness across the board, leading to a higher percentage of successful outcomes.
- Significant reduction of stress and anxiety. While not an absolute block to success, stress and anxiety do make the process more difficult and do make it harder for the body to respond effectively to the stim and transfer medications. Acupuncture triggers a deep relaxation response in the body, and that relaxation can last for days and eventually weeks as more treatments are completed. Our patients routinely report to us how the treatments help them in this regard.
