Our Promise to our Patients having IVF
An important part of acupuncture support to IVF is to have treatments just before and just after embryo transfer. While embryo transfer usually occurs on either day 3 or day 5, the precise timing can vary at very short notice from your clinic. We know this can be a very stressful time so we promise to you that we will be ready to accommodate you at very notice should the circumstances demand it. That includes being available to you on Sundays and bank holidays.
We are based in central London at 144 Harley Street, in easy reach of all the major London IVF clinics.
When should I start?
The best time to start treatment is at least three months before your IVF cycle begins. That way we can help to improve egg quality, ensure your endometrium is optimal for implantation, and ensure your menstrual cycle is stable.
If you’re already close to your IVF, or even part way through, we can still help greatly. Research indicates that even having one treatment just before embryo transfer and one treatment afterwards will boost your chances of success by 60%.
Come and see for an initial consultation so that one of fertility specialists can advise you on how to get the most out of your cycle including maximizing the chances of implantation, getting your body ready with acupuncture and nutrition, and managing your stress.
If you’ve been advised that you will need to have an ICSI (Intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection) procedure, we can help you and partner prepare by maximizing the quality of the sperm that is used.
