ACUPUNCTURE POST FAILED IVF & IUI



If you have been thru numerous IVF's or IUI's then consider acupuncture and herbs as way to help your body replenish your blood, yin and fluids, Qi and yang that often become depleted by the medications used in these protocols. They pump you, up but leave your qi, blood, yin/yang depleted as the drugs recruit more follicles and ones that normally are not fit for fertilization.  In a normal cycle a woman would only produce one good follicle but with the additonal Follicle Stimulation Medication(FSH) along with your own body's production of FHS the attempt is to get many more, 10 to 15.
Then too, there is the stress and the sadness of failed attempts. Acupuncture can help your body and mind relax to deal with both of these. Most imbalances in the body are emotionally connected because we tense up and contract and the emotion gets locked in somewhere in the body.  This impedes blood flow to the tissues, muscles and most importantly here the pelvic region.
Most couples think of acupuncture to help them become pregnant either naturally or in combination with an IVF or IUI cycle but fail to realize the importance of it for it's own sake of healing and relaxing to help put you back in balance. Once balanced conception will more likely occur without IVF/IUI or with it.
