Acupuncture and IVF

IVF can be associated with significant stress for many.

Acupuncture can assist in reducing the unwanted side effects from synthetic hormones and drugs, as well as the trauma incurred to the body from surgical procedures.

Acupuncture is desirable, as there is low to no risk of interaction with the drugs/ hormones taken during the IVF cycle.
