Giving the Best Chance on Your IVF Journey

The Reality of Assisted Conception

For many couples, IVF, IUI, or ICSI can feel like the last resort after years of trying. While these advanced technologies have helped millions, success rates remain limited — often 30–40% per cycle, depending on age and health factors.

During treatment, women may experience:

Side effects of hormone medications (bloating, mood swings, fatigue)
Thin or poorly nourished uterine lining
High stress levels affecting sleep, mood, and hormone balance
Fear of implantation failure or miscarriage

For men, the pressure to perform sperm collection, coupled with stress and poor lifestyle habits, may also impact sperm quality.

This is where Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) provides gentle but effective support.

How TCM Enhances IVF / IUI / ICSI?

In TCM, fertility challenges are often linked to Qi, Blood, Yin, Yang, and Kidney energy imbalances. By restoring harmony, we create a body environment more conducive to conception.

Improve Egg & Sperm Quality
Acupuncture and herbal medicine regulate hormones, enhance ovarian function, and improve sperm motility and morphology.
Prepare the Uterus for Implantation
Strengthening Qi and Blood flow helps thicken the endometrium and make the womb more receptive.
Reduce Stress & Anxiety
Acupuncture calms the nervous system, lowering cortisol levels, and improving emotional resilience during the IVF process.

Understanding the Support for Each Critical Stage

1) Before IVF: Regulate cycles, strengthen body constitution

2) During Stimulation: Support follicle development, reduce side effects

3) At Egg Retrieval: Improve ovarian response, promote recovery

4) Embryo Transfer: Calm uterine contractions, improve implantation chance

5) Post-Transfer: Stabilize early pregnancy, reduce miscarriage risk

Frequently Asked Question

Can acupuncture really improve IVF success rates?

Clinical studies and our own patient outcomes suggest acupuncture may improve uterine blood flow, regulate hormones, and increase pregnancy rates when combined with IVF or IUI.

How often should I have acupuncture during IVF?

Usually 1–2 times per week. For embryo transfer, we recommend acupuncture before and after the procedure for optimal results.

Can I take Chinese herbs while on IVF medications?

Safety is our priority. In some phases (like stimulation), we may pause herbs but continue acupuncture. Herbs may be prescribed before IVF or after transfer to stabilize the pregnancy.

Is it too late to start TCM if I already began my IVF cycle?

Not at all. Even if you are mid-cycle, acupuncture can reduce stress, improve uterine receptivity, and support your chances of implantation.

What if I’ve had failed IVF cycles before?

Many of our patients come after unsuccessful attempts. TCM focuses on rebuilding and strengthening your body, which may improve outcomes for the next cycle.
