As far as what I see in my office, the patients who come in for Acupuncture usually 1 time per week for 12 weeks plus 1 treatment right before the IVF procedure and 1 treatment right after the IVF procedure have the best success conceiving.
I do have patients that call me for the first time right before the IVF procedure and have the 2 treatmnets (1 before and 1after IVF procedure.) I can say that if this is their second or third time to have IVF, the Acupuncture often seems to have a positive effect. It is difficult time to know if it is their first time through IVF, because you don’t really know if they would have conceived or not.
What I can say is that it often really helps the patient relax stay calm and feel good about the process. Which in turn can’t help but increase the patients odds. I also believe that the Acupuncture will either help or not, but has no negative effects.
