Hi, have you tried acupunture before your IVF treatment? I am with Praga Medica in the Czech Republic and they recommend me to do few sessions. What is your experiences?

Hello, I did weekly acupuncture in the lead up and during. And also did the before and after protocol on the day of embryo transfer - there was a German study that showed that helped implantation by up to 30%. Good luck!

I did it while stimming, then after while waiting for results and during FET and up to 12 weeks of pregnancy. I would recommend it, I think it helped me. Good luck xxx

I’m a worn Praha medica too and did the acupuncture before transfer and after abd had some ear needles put in that I had to leave in for 10 days I think it helps to keep you calm I haven’t had BFP yet so don’t know if it has helped in that sense I’m on day 13a5dt so we will see but if I do another cycle I will do a course of acupuncture at home as heard 12 week course before ivf is beneficial to egg qualit
