Researchers have concluded that acupuncture carried out around the time the embryos are put back into the womb during an IVF cycle can improve the chances of a positive pregnancy test and a live birth.
The research team conducted a review of the existing studies looking at acupuncture and IVF, and drew the clear conclusion that acupuncture did appear to make a difference. Acupuncture has been used in traditional Chinese medicine to regulate the female reproductive system for centuries, and has become increasingly popular amongst those going through fertility treatment in recent years. The review looked at studies where acupuncture was used within a day of embryo transfer, either before or afterwards.
