Acupuncture and IVF - IVF and Fertility Support with Acupuncture in Surrey and Hampshire

Acupuncture during IVF

Acupuncture in support of IVF has received a certain amount of press coverage and research in the last few years.
My practice receives enquiries each month for acupuncture support alongside IVF.
Western medicine will of course be the main player in IVF, and other factors will obviously play a part, such as healthy eating and lifestyle in both partners, not over-exercising, healthy sleep patterns, good general state of fitness, age.
The rest is in the 'lap of the gods', and you should not enter into acupuncture treatment with the view that the treatment will help guarantee a positive outcome in any way.
Other benefits may arise from acupuncture during an IVF cycle, in that side effects from medications may be reduced. Side effects such as hot flushes, headaches, insomnia, emotional swings, bloating and fatigue may be helped with acupuncture.
Please refer to the research page of my website for links to articles on this subject.
I am a member of the Acupuncture Fertility Network, which is a group of acupuncturists that share information, ideas and suggestions, and members undergo some further training in this area.
Like the majority of other members of the British Acupuncture Council, I have undergone fertility-related training as part of my four-year college training. I have also attended further short courses relating to IVF as well as gynaecology and issues around fertility.
I have one daughter, and I am very familiar with the emotions, hopes and rewards involved in starting and bringing up a family. I have found the treatment of infertility a very rewarding part of my practice.
