Over the past 8 years, Acupuncturist Dr. Diane Cridennda and Reproductive Endocrinologitst Dr. Paul Magarelli have conducted and reported their research on the impact of Acupuncture and IVF outcomes. ​

Their research has shown:
• Up to 26% higher clinical pregnancies
• 6% fewer ectopic pregnancies
• 10% fewer multiple births

​

​

The treatment protocol for IVF patients includes a series of 15 treatments, 10 treatments twice a week for 5 weeks before egg retrieval, 1 treatment right before and right after the transfer, and then 2 treatments post transfer.

Combining acupuncture with your IVF care program, you should expect:
   • Improved Pregnancy Rates
   • Reduced miscarriage rates, multiple borths, and ectopic pregnancies.
   • More Take Home Babies! ​

​

How does Chinese Medicine help improve IVF success rates?
1. Improves ovarian function
2. Increases the blood flow to uterus and increases thickness of the uterine lining
3. Relaxes the patient and decreases anxiety and stress
4. Helps prevent uterine contractions
5. Lessens side effects of IVF drugs
6. Strengthens & regulates immune system
7. Improves quantity & quality of sperm
8. Reduces risk of early miscarriage
9. Positively affects hypothalamicipuitary-ovarian axis, playing a major role in fertility and regulating menstrual cycles, and may lead to an increased number of follicles.
