Pre-Conception Program
Preparation for pregnancy can begin prior to conception. We offer programs to couples who want to conceive naturally, before they start in vitro fertilization (IVF) or if they have exhausted the IVF route. We understand the need for alternative medical treatment alone or in combination with IVF treatment. We customize our treatment plans in order to address each person's unique constitution. We suggest fertility acupuncture, massage and nutritional modifications for at least 6 weeks prior to commencement of IVF or other fertility treatments. With a view to reduce anxiety, stress, improve blood flow and improve general health. It is of utmost importance to reduce stress so we always recommend you listen to our mindfulness download for relaxation and the pre-conception support products.

During IVF or Fertility Treatment
There are varying fertility protocols with different time frames we need to look at. We suggest weekly acupuncture from the first day of medication through to embryo transfer. Other therapies such as nutrition and massage can also be suggested and incorporated in the treatment.

Embryo Transfer
We suggest a fertility acupuncture treatment before and after embryo transfer to improve pregnancy rates. Ideally, this is recommended on the same day or as close to your transfer as possible. Research shows how valuable having acupuncture pre and post embryo transfer can be. A recent study (Manheimer et el) published by the British Medical Journal, found that women undergoing IVF, who also have acupuncture, have a substantially higher chance of conceiving.

Post Implantation
We suggest one or two fertility acupuncture treatments during the two week wait period before you take a pregnancy test. This is primarily to support your emotions, to ease anxiety, help with implantation and promote relaxation.

Positive Pregnancy Test
We suggest weekly acupuncture treatments during the first trimester, up to week 12/13 as there is a higher risk of miscarriage in IVF induced pregnancies. The treatments are gentle and supportive and help promote a healthy pregnancy.
