Acupuncture for IVF support in Surrey

Hello. If you are here because you are on an IVF journey I see you. I’ve been there and I understand how it feels. IVF support in Surrey is multi-faceted. We guide you through the complicated jargon, alleviate the side effects of the IVF drugs, help to improve outcomes and address the range of emotions you are likely to experience.

Perhaps you’re about to start your first cycle and are feeling overwhelmed and have heard on the grapevine Acupuncture can help IVF. Perhaps you’ve had a failed cycle (or more) and are wondering what you can do to improve things next time. Likely, you are here because lots has happened before this moment - perhaps you’ve been TTC for years or have suffered loss.

Whatever your story, as a women’s health specialist I’m here to carry you through this time. Acupuncture supports 1 in 4 couples going through IVF. Acupuncture for IVF is evidenced-based showing improved pregnancy outcomes.

So, when should we start Acupuncture for IVF?

Ideally, as soon as possible. Please see the Fertility Acupuncture Surrey page for more detailed information.

How often should I come?

Ideally, pretty regularly. We’ll discuss this at your consultation.

What happens during the IVF cycle itself?

Acupuncture supports you throughout the entire IVF cycle, as well as before and after. Acupuncture for IVF helps with the side effects of the drugs, optimising follicle production (the number of eggs you are producing) and holding your hand emotionally as it is a bit of a rollercoaster. When you get to Egg Collection and Embryo Transfer we will carry out treatments close together to maximise the outcome.

Can you treat my partner too?

Absolutely, if there is an element of male factory infertility, Acupuncture can support you both. But, even if there are no issues identified, we want sperm to be the best it can possibly be. Acupuncture can help with that.

“Having been through multiple rounds of IVF, I started to explore fertility acupuncture as I had heard of the numerous benefits of it. Melanie is extremely knowledgeable on fertility and the entire IVF process, I knew I had chosen the right person to support me after our initial consultation. Melanie has such a kind approach and calming presence in what can be a very chaotic world of IVF which can be mentally, emotionally and physically demanding.  She recommended some small adjustments to my diet, lifestyle and overall well-being to support my IVF FET drug protocol and it made me feel like I was gaining control of my life again. I was so grateful for Melanie’s support throughout the cycle, the day before and the day of our embryo transfer. She really goes above and beyond in supporting her clients.  Now, we’re in our second trimester and I am so thankful to Melanie for her positive impact and getting us to this point in our fertility journey. Thank you Melanie!” S.T.
