While every woman hopes for a naturally conceived pregnancy, it is not always possible and a medical intervention is sometimes necessary. If this is the same for you, it is likely that you are considering In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) to achieve pregnancy.

You can rely on our experience of having personally overcome the obstacles of conceiving to help improve your chances of a positive IVF outcome

Acupuncture for IVF Gold Coast

Some of our therapists have first hand personal experience with conceiving through IVF. We are fully committed to helping you navigate the complex, confusing and emotional journey through IVF.

This Chinese Medicine approach has been recognised to improve the success of IVF treatments by reducing uterine artery blood flow impedance,(1) acupuncture prior to embryo transfer has been shown to assist in conception(2) and acupuncture on the day of embryo transfer can significantly improve the reproductive outcome(3) and the overall chance of successful IVF treatment.(4)

Benefits of IVF acupuncture:

  • Higher pregnancy success rates than women who had no acupuncture(3)(4)
  • Increase blood flow to female reproductive organs(1)
  • Better mental and emotional health during IVF(5)

Evidence shows that acupuncture has a positive effect on anxiety, depression, insomnia and the overall mental health(5) of women during this challenging time. Acupuncture can help reduce stress level(6) which may improve your chances of successful IVF treatment.
