Have You Considered Acupuncture For In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF), Whether For Pre-Phase Or After The Embryo Transfer, And You Live In The Brisbane Area?


AcuBalance Brisbane Acupuncture Clinic is a family business based in North Brisbane, Chermside West. Dr Adele Bishop (Acupuncturist) has substantial experience with this brilliant technique for many medical and wellness issues and using acupuncture specifically for In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF). Acupuncture for IVF has been used worldwide for thousands of years, and medical science has been documenting its effectiveness.

When you are trying to fall pregnant, a lesser known technique for IVF is to use acupuncture to stimulate the hormonal and functional processes that help to prepare the body for pregnancy. Depending on what the underlying problem is with the body, acupuncture helps to relax the mother-to-be and also can be used by her partner, to ease the mind and wipe out the of stress that may be affecting the physical body. Acupuncture can also be used to help start the ovarian cycle.

Ancient Knowledge with Modern Application

Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese Traditional Medicine practice where fine needles are placed at energy points called meridians across the body.

Dr Adele Bishop (Acupuncturist) is well experienced and knows how to implement this practice for the benefit of the pregnant mother. If one would like the full opportunity to help the pregnancy establish more successfully during the IVF process, then this wonderful ancient technique should be considered.

Acupuncture can be done very comfortably at the clinic. It is combined with essential oils, music and gentle heat to help the body first to relax. Dr Bishop (Acupuncturist) tailors a treatment protocol in combination with the mother-to-be, which complements the woman’s medical protocol. Every plan is individualised to the person and takes many things into consideration such as the fertility history, possible causes of fertility issues, and other many factors. This acupuncture procedure assists in the pre-phase therapy.

The Effects Of Acupuncture at The Embryo Transfer Stage

Acupuncture is also used for the follicular stimulation phase, to help make the follicles much more apt to develop and increases the number of eggs available for retrieval, to improve the blood supply and stimulate the essential hormones involved with the ovaries at this stage. Those hormones are the follicle-stimulating hormones (FSH) and luteinising hormones (LH). Acupuncture is also associated with thickening the endometrial lining of the uterus to make implantation that much more welcoming for an IVF procedure. (http://aim.bmj.com/content/31/2/157.short)

It is also beneficial during the egg collection phase. Acupuncture has been noted to increase egg development and increases chances of retrieval. (http://aim.bmj.com/content/31/2/157.short)

Data shows the effectiveness of acupuncture after embryo transfer and implantation, and at the AcuBalance Brisbane Acupuncture Clinic, it is highly recommended. Lastly, Acupuncture for IVF in Brisbane and elsewhere is connected to higher conception rates. (http://acupunctureivf.com.au/pages/research_details.php?research_id=18)

When a couple is trying to fall pregnant, they want to make sure that they have tried every avenue possible. Acupuncture is safe and efficient for the early phases in IVF as well as after the embryo transfer according to years of ancient Chinese usage as well as in modern scientific literature.
