Fertility & Pregnancy
Since the mid 1990’s there has been a large amount of research, literature and press cuttings about the use of acupuncture and its beneficial effects for infertility / fertility issues and pregnancy. Actually none of this is new apart from the modern research. Acupuncture has been used for these conditions for thousands of years.
Much of the present research is based on formula acupuncture. This is where a standard prescription of acupuncture points is used on every single person. Yes this can work, there are many formulas and prescriptions of acupuncture points to help in these situations. However there is no one formula or prescription of acupuncture points that will suit every single person.

In relation to infertility
On March 10th 2010 there was a published statement by the ‘British Fertility Society’ which looked at various trials of acupuncture treatment around the time of embryo transfer. They concluded that acupuncture was of no benefit in this situation. They looked at 14 trials to do with acupuncture administered before, during and or after embryo transfer. In short there was no consistency in the results between the trials.
We have observed people gaining huge benefits from having acupuncture to help and aid in their fertility. In this instance the assessment of the acupuncture treatment is just over a few days and this is a ‘blinkered’ approach. Let us remember one of the many facts about nature and the way we grow, new sperm take around 100 days to develop and mature!! So any acupuncture treatment to help improve the quality and energy of the sperm may not become apparent until after 100 days.
It has also been shown conclusively that acupuncture treatment has been found to help increase blood flow to the reproductive organs, balance hormone levels, regulate the menstrual cycle and help improve the lining of the uterus and quality of the eggs released.
When you come to us for a consultation we need to assess your state of health. Ideally it is best to assess each partner to see what is the overall picture. Then we can say who needs the acupuncture treatment the most or in some cases both. Again it is best if acupuncture treatment can be given for at least three months before any IVF treatment commences. Depending on your state of health you may not need much treatment. Conversely for some people it can take much longer to get improvements in your health.
In many ways the role of the classical acupuncturist is like that of a gardener. A good gardener looks at the nature of the garden and all its elements to see what is happening. They then ask ‘What is it that is needed, to help the plants and flowers to thrive and to produce their seeds and fruit?’

We both use acupuncture to treat the ‘root’ cause of your situation following with the ‘laws of nature’. You have acupuncture treatments that are in accord to the nature of your situation.
Likewise a good acupuncturist will look at you and ask themselves a similar question. ‘What is it that you need to facilitate you own fertility, pregnancy and birth of a child?’ We gather information about you and your situation and then tailor the acupuncture to your needs.
