Why Acupuncture?
 
Acupuncture is an old practice that is being practised more than 3000 years. The process involves the insertion of needles at the body at specific points to treat pain and a variety of common medical conditions like, stress, anxiety and all kinds of digestive disorders. Acupuncture treatment also shows remarkable benefits in healing reproductive disorders of women, including irregular menstrual cycles, menstrual cycles and menopausal symptoms. Over the past decade, the use of acupuncture has significantly increased and the couples who are trying to improve pregnancy chances have shown beneficial results from using acupuncture  on a regular basis. 
 
How Does It Work?
 
First of all, an acupuncturist takes a close look at the overall wellness of their client during the initial evaluation and treatments. This step is mandatory as because a woman who has a balance of wellness and nutrition bear the maximum chances for pregnancy. During the treatment small needles are inserted into specific points along the body, mostly to the abdomen, arms and the legs and the fertility problems are treated by balancing and regulating the menstrual cycle. According to the therapists and the medical practitioners, fertility can be treated in several ways, which includes regulation of menstrual cycles and ovulation, hormone levels, through acupuncture treatment, women even experience increased blood flow to their uterus. Besides all these beneficial aspects, acupuncture has been incorporated in the treatment of low sperm quality and sperm count. Herbal formulas are also incorporated into the treatment regime, these are taken twice daily in the form of herbal teas which help to regulate the cycle, increase the circulation of blood and Qi or energy to the reproductive organs, and help in thickening the lining of the womb
 
When Should Acupuncture Treatment Be Started?
 
 For women undergoing IVF cycles it is best to start 8 weeks prior to the start of their IVF cycle , once a week treatments in the lead up may help increase the blood flow to the lining of the uterus resulting in a thicker lining, one treatment on the morning of egg collection and stimulation of ovaries, then one immediately before and after embryo transfer in case of IVF. So, it will be beneficial to the women if you begin fertility treatment before the IVF cycle begins and continue throughout until there is a positive pregnancy test, this is most beneficial to the women undergoing IVF cycles, then once a week treatments are performed until week 8 when a scan for a positive heart beat is performed
