IVF/IUI Prep Program
Whether you are 7 days or 3 months away from your IVF/IUI transfer, our clinic can provide fertility support through our specialized treatments.
Prepping your body before the transfer ensures better success rates, lower side effects, and an increase in live birth rates.
Your Naturopathic doctor will give an individualized dietary, herbal, and acupuncture protocol prior to your procedure.
More specialized treatments, such as IV therapy, may be recommended by your Naturopath on a case by case basis.
Pre and Post IVF/IUI Acupuncture Treatments
Acupuncture is an effective tool to help prepare your body for your IVF/IUI procedure. It has beneficial effects on egg quality and can promote uterine blood flow, which may create a more hospitable environment for implantation. It can also help support you emotionally and mentally through this process.
Using specific acupuncture protocols, we administer treatment before and after your procedure.
2002 Study: 160 patients who were undergoing assisted reproduction therapy (ART) were divided into the following two groups: embryo transfer with acupuncture and embryo transfer without acupuncture.
“Clinical pregnancies were documented in 34 of 80 patients (42.5%) in the acupuncture group, whereas pregnancy rate was only 26.3% (21 out of 80 patients) in those who did not receive acupuncture).”
Both Naturopaths Dr Muradov and Dr Deol are trained in TCM and its implementation for infertility.
