Once a woman’s IVF procedure is unsuccessful it is all too common for the IVF specialist to say that they do not know why the eggs did not take and the patient should try again. This is really not good medicine. An explanation needs to be sought after as to why IVF attempts are failing. In this situation I recommend Oriental Medicine Diagnosis & Treatment (Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine as it is commonly known).

Acupuncture and Chinese medicine have been studied in controlled trials and are confirmed to give remarkable results in increasing chances of conception. Acupuncture studies have concluded that acupuncture alone increases the chance of conceiving to 65%. If acupuncture is combined with moxibustion correctly chances are increased higher than 65%.

Moxibustion alone has been shown in studies that it increases acupuncture’s effect on the reproductive system by nearly 40%. Thus acupuncture used without moxibustion is not as effective as combing the two. Studies using thermal imaging have shown that after 5mins of moxibustion treatment to the reproductive organs, increased activity & blood circulation in to the area can be achieved. Before the treatment, the reproductive organs are seen as cloudy images through the imaging process. Though after 5 minutes of moxibustion treatment, changes result, showing the organs to be clearly defined & red in colour. The red clear image is indicative of healthy reproductive organs.

Studies have concluded that Chinese medicine alone increases the chance of conceiving to 75%. Chinese medicine can do everything that acupuncture does though with a quicker outcome. Acupuncture applies needles which are metal and are used to stimulate body systems. Chinese medicine stimulates body systems as well, yet it contains hormones & steroids beneficial to conception where as the metal needle contains nothing. The needle cannot give anything. It can only stimulate. Thus Chinese Medicine can give a more beneficial & faster outcome to conception. If Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine treatments are combined the chances are further increased.

Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine treatments are effective for IVF, IUI, ICSI, ART, candidates and the like. Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine treatments are also effective for couples wishing for a natural conception. Most couples that visit my clinic wishing to enhance their chances of IVF conception normally fall pregnant after a few courses of Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture treatment. There are not many couples that need to further continue to IVF after specialized Chinese medicine & Acupuncture preparation.

Many patients are warned of the dangers of combining IVF drugs & Chinese Medicine by their IVF doctors. There are no dangers involved at all when the two are combined by a specialist. Actually there is research showing that combining the two remarkably increases the chances of conceiving than if only using IVF drugs. Best results in my clinic are achieved when combining Acupuncture and Chinese medicine with IVF drugs.

It is not uncommon for 2nd, 3rd, or 4th time IVF candidates to notice their follicles triple in length when treated via this technique. The same goes for increased uterine lining, & increased egg quality. This is news that IVF candidates should not ignore. Combining these specialized treatments with IVF will make a great difference to the outcome of your conception.
