ON CALL IVF SERVICES

Insight Acupuncture offers you the unique opportunity to receive treatment at your chosen fertility clinic on the day of your embryo transfer that reflects the treatment protocols published in a study in 2003 in Fertility and Sterility which found that adding acupuncture treatment to the IVF protocol, increased the success rate of implantation. The research found that by adding pre and post acupuncture treatments to the IVF embryo transfer protocol, the success rate of implantation increased.

Geina has been attending embryo transfers at Denver’s Fertility Clinics since 2007, providing pre and post Acupuncture for embryo transfers for over 3000 patients with this protocol. These acupuncture treatments have a soothing effect on the mind and the body. On this important day it is her further goal to create an atmosphere of high touch care and comfort before and after your embryo is transferred.

Research and this particular protocol has brought acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) into the consciousness of the fertility community worldwide. Since then, there has been much speculation and investigation into how acupuncture can increase fertility. The study in 2003 had 160 women divided into two groups. Both groups underwent the IVF protocol with three day embryo transfers. The success rate of implantation in those who received acupuncture was 42.3% compared to 36.5% for the control group (an increase of 15.8%). In the May, 2006 issue of Fertility and Sterility, two similar studies were reported with the acupuncture group experiencing 13% and 18% greater success rate of achieving pregnancy.
