Acupuncture and IVF aren’t always uttered in the same sentence. When you think of IVF, you don’t necessarily think of acupuncture, and yet acupuncture and IVF often go hand in hand.
IVF is a process most couples don’t want to go through if they can help it. Having said that, many couples are profoundly grateful that IVF exists, so that their dreams of starting their own family can become a reality.
IVF demands a lot, especially from the woman. There are many appointments to attend, blood tests to be done, needles to have and so much more. The toll it takes on each woman and her partner is very individual. There is no doubt it’s a tough road and the possibility of so much delicately rests on it.
Acupuncture and IVF
Chinese medicine is an holistic therapy. We look at the whole picture to get a sense of what is going on. We’ll ask you about bowel habits, moods, sleep, energy, your diet, exercise and more to bring all the aspects of current “you” into focus. Once we’ve done that, we can support you to be the best you can be, so you can get the most out of your IVF sessions.
Your IVF journey can be stressful at times and acupuncture helps to reduce stress. Where possible, we’d like to see you up to six weeks before you start IVF.
At Red Tent we see a lot of women going through the IVF process and we are sensitive to how important it is to you.
