Acupuncture during an IVF cycle may improve the clinical pregnancy rate
From our clinic rooms in Highett in the Bayside area of Melbourne, we offer supportive acupuncture to both women and men undergoing IVF. Our programs can involve treatment at any given stage of an IVF cycle – from a complete preconception care and full supportive program, to transfer date and egg collection treatments, and emotional and physical supportive treatment.
We believe that IVF fertility acupuncture is beneficial for anyone undergoing IVF but your medical practitioner/IVF specialist may recommend IVF acupuncture when you have:
- Multiple failed embryo transfers
- Poor egg or sperm quality
- Thin endometrial lining
- Low follicle numbers
- Stress or emotional imbalance
How our naturopathic programs can support you during your IVF:
- Support health of eggs and sperm
- Improve circulation to support follicle development
- Address any nutritional insufficiencies and improve energy/wellbeing
- Educate on diet and lifestyle to improve overall health during IVF cycles
Ways we can assist you on your IVF journey:
Pre-Conception or IVF Acupuncture in Melbourne

Many couples seek out the assistance of doctors and specialists when they are unable to conceive. Treatments for infertility tend to look at sperm quality and the function and quality of the ovaries, as well as balancing hormones.

Acupuncture in Pregnancy
There’s no doubt that pregnancy can cause some niggles here and there. With many complementary therapies unable to be practised during pregnancy, many women turn to acupuncture in pregnancy to get some relief from pain, tiredness and illness.
During pregnancy, acupuncture tends to be used to treat pelvic and back pain as well as nausea. As with any therapy, some women find relief through acupuncture in pregnancy while unfortunately some women do not.
It is important to find a qualified and registered acupuncturist to undertake any acupuncture treatments while pregnant, as well as it being a good idea to discuss details of planned treatments with your doctors and midwives.
During your first session, your practitioner will assess you and ask your concerns. They will then explain what they are doing and how it will assist. The acupuncture process itself requires thin, sterilised needles to be inserted at specific points in your skin. These points relate to a particular concern based on Qi principles. When these points are stimulated, they can help to correct imbalances and assist with pain relief.
