Acupuncture can increase fertile cervical mucus — In order to conceive naturally it is important to have enough egg white cervical mucus at ovulation. This provides sperm with a medium that they can swim in. Patients often tell me that they notice an increase in the amount of fertile cervical mucus at ovulation after starting a course of acupuncture treatment.

Although many aspects of Chinese Medicine remain mysterious there is no doubting its value in helping women get pregnant. Chinese women have known this for many generations but as an acupuncturist I am delighted that researchers are beginning to study this phenomenon and uncover such positive results.

Acupuncture dramatically improves pregnancy rates in women undergoing IVF — A study in Germany that was published here in the USA divided 180 women who were having IVF into two groups of 80 women. One group had IVF with acupuncture and one group had IVF without acupuncture. The group that had acupuncture had a pregnancy rate of 42.5% versus the group that had no acupuncture that had a pregnancy rate of 26.3%. That’s almost a 50% better outcome in the acupuncture group.

Acupuncture can reduce the effects of stress on the body and lower stress related hormones that can impede fertility. The same study we talked about above also examined previous studies on the effect of acupuncture on depression and stress related illnesses. It concluded that acupuncture is a viable option to relieve stress in women that are undergoing fertility treatment. This is particularly important because it is known that stress plays a very important role in failure to conceive. A study that was published in Fertility and Sterility in 2001 looked at the state of mind of women going through IVF. It concluded that the women who were most stressed and worried about the procedure were likely to have 20% fewer eggs available for retrieval and a fertilization rate that was 19% less than more optimistic women.
