Acupuncture for IVF Success - Infertility TV

Learn the latest scientific proof (2019) about acupuncture and IVF Success. You will be surprised!



As an IVF expert with a busy clinical practice, I am constantly asked about other things that a couple can do to increase their chances for #IVF success. Questions about #acupuncture are the most common.



If you do a search in the National Library of Medicine, you will find over 100 articles about acupuncture and IVF success. But, if you narrow that down to only clinical studies in which real acupuncture was compared to fake or sham acupuncture, you get a much more manageable number.



Perhaps the best study to date was was conducted at 16 IVF centers in Australia and New Zealand and involved over 800 women undergoing a fresh IVF cycle. This makes it one of the largest and best designed clinical studies.of acupuncture and IVF success.



The results? Acupuncture did not result in any higher pregnancy rates. In other words, for improving IVF success, acupuncture failed. These results match those of a Danish study of over 600 IVF couples and a Chicago study of 160 patients and well you get the idea.



However, don’t click away yet. These studies did not reveal lower IVF pregnancy rates with acupuncture, they just weren’t any better. In other words, acupuncture didn’t harm the chances for IVF success, it just didnt help. Also, many patients found the experience pleasurable or relaxing.



So bottom line IVF patients: If you are thinking of doing acupuncture solely to increase your chance for pregnancy, then save your money. If you are thinking of doing acupuncture for fun or relaxation, go ahead, it won’t lower your chance for success
