The ancient Chinese method of acupuncture is becoming a more recognized treatment for infertility in the West. <\/span><\/p>\n

Many women and men have found it to be a safe way to enhance their chances of getting pregnant.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Not only does acupuncture help you relax, it can help improve your sleep, your hormone balance and even your sex life. <\/span><\/p>\n

It is one of the safest procedures around and doesn\u2019t hurt at all, even though an acupuncturist is using needles.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is Acupuncture?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Acupuncture is placing super thin needles in certain pressure points on the body to improve how the body functions. <\/span><\/p>\n

These acupuncture points are part of channels, or paths, within the body, and putting needs in them offers a type of regulation for the pathways. <\/span><\/p>\n

It’s kind of like putting a traffic light up at a busy intersection.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What Can Acupuncture Do For Pregnancy?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This type of treatment can address things like hyperthyroidism or decreased hormones. <\/span><\/p>\n

Most acupuncturists will combine the procedure with herbal medicine to treat infertility.<\/span><\/p>\n

It can help improve the functioning of both ovaries and follicles, but can’t resolve all fertility problems.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Acupuncture can’t fix endometriosis or pelvic inflammatory disease.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When Should I Do It?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A couple trying to get pregnant can both get acupuncture as it helps both men and women in their hormone functioning. <\/span><\/p>\n

It is recommended for those seeking in vitro fertilization (IVF0 and donor-egg transfer to do it three or four months in advance because of its’ therapeutic nature.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Women are advised to continue with treatment at least three months into pregnancy to avoid miscarriage. <\/span><\/p>\n

However, the acupuncture points will change as those in the lower abdomen should be avoided during pregnancy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Using acupuncture has become popular largely because it is a low-risk option that seems to work in conjunction with medical fertility treatments. <\/span><\/p>\n

The secret is finding a good acupuncture specialist that works specifically with fertility issues.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
