TCM Support for IVF Procedure

More than 50% of patients in Acuception come with a history of an average of 2 or 3 IVF failures and miscarriages, and with a considerable amount of spent financial resources and accumulated stress.

IVF is usually indicated for the cases resulting from irrevocable structural abnormalities such as:

  • Fallopian tube obstruction / adhesion or infection after tubal surgery

  • abnormal condition of cervix or uterus

  • infertility after the treatment of endometrium or D&C

  • ejaculation or serious sperm problem of the partner

  • anti-body or immunological factor

After thorough evaluation of the history and conditions, we can help to better prepare you for the fresh cycle of IVF, or Embryo Transfer if you already have some left from the previous IVF procedure.

TCM can help to support on-going IVF procedure in the areas such as:

  • Endometrium: Thickness and quality of texture of the endometrial lining by facilitating Blood circulation and vascularization

  • FSH & LH: Low functioning gonadotrophine level such as high FSH level and absence or weak LH surge

  • Ovary: Low number of follicle and egg production or low quality of eggs

  • Miscarriage: prevention by optimizing the overall condition

To increase the success rate of IVF, we recommend to get you and/ or your spouse prepared 2 to 3 months before the start of IVF cycle or just Embryo Transfer.  With the start of IVF cycle, we can also support you during the stages of hormonal regulation, follicular stimulation, egg retrieval, embryo transfer and implantation.

The success rate of IVF can be doubled by combining with TCM treatment.  German researchers announced in 2002, in the issue of “Fertility & Sterility”, led by Dr. Paulus Wolfgang, that the success rate has been increased nearly 50% for the women undergoing IVF with the Acupuncture treatment alone.
