We specialize in integrative care for individuals and couples navigating fertility challenges. Our team works alongside your IVF or IUI process to enhance outcomes through acupuncture, TCM herbal medicine, nutrition guidance, and stress-reduction techniques.
Navigating fertility challenges can be emotionally and physically taxing. At Retreat Acupuncture, we provide comprehensive support for individuals undergoing In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), integrating both conventional and TCM-based approaches to enhance outcomes and well-being. Evidence-based protocols and compassionate care support each phase—from egg retrieval and embryo transfer to early pregnancy. We also support natural conception and holistic preconception planning.
Our IVF Support Services:
- Acupuncture: Administered before and after embryo transfer to improve implantation rates.
- Herbal Medicine: Customized formulas to support hormonal balance and uterine health.
- Nutritional Guidance: Personalized dietary plans to optimize fertility.
- Stress Management: Techniques to reduce anxiety and promote emotional resilience.
Scientific Evidence:
- A meta-analysis found that acupuncture increased the risk of live births by 30% when compared with no treatment in women undergoing IVF .
- Another study indicated that acupuncture improved live birth rates, biochemical pregnancy rates, and clinical pregnancy rates in infertile patients .
TCM Perspective:
In TCM, fertility is closely linked to the health of the Kidney and Liver systems. Our integrative approach aims to harmonize these systems, enhance Qi and blood flow, and create an optimal environment for conception.
