Assisted Conception Programmes


  IVF - In Vitro Fertilisation
  ICSI - Intra-Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection
  OI - Ovulation Induction
  IUI - Intra Uterine Insemination

Various studies have shown acupuncture alone increases the success of IVF by 40-60%. Some studies show a 70% increase, but this can be even further enhanced by incorporating Chinese herbal medicine, nutrition, hypnotherapy and reflexology.

Working with motivated couples we can achieve the following on a physical and emotional level.


   Physically

       Follicles can double in number
       Improve sperm quality
       The lining of the uterus is thicker
       The number of embryos increases
       Blood flow to the uterus increases
       The immune system is strengthened
       Hormones are regulated
       Reduce chance of miscarriage
       Reduce the unwanted effects of drugs

   Emotionally

       The emotional stress of going through the procedure is reduced
       Women feel calmer, less anxious
       More able to cope with the side affects from the drugs

It is advisable that you start treatment at least 2 months before the start of any programme. Some supplements or herbs that are suggested, may take this long to have a beneficial effect to further enhance success.
