“After 3 years of trying to get pregnant unsuccessfully, we were prepared to try anything”

After 3 years of trying to get pregnant unsuccessfully, we were prepared to try anything. I came to see Dr Vitalis over a year ago for fertility acupuncture. I made weekly visits to Vitalis and am now 8 months pregnant.

I also had help with restless legs. I had my veins lasered to try to combat this. The laser treatment for my legs helped, but only briefly. After four months the symptoms slowly returned. And especially since I became pregnant the symptoms have been keeping me up until the early hours of each morning (and apparently, around 20% of pregnant woman suffer from this). I would spend at least 4 nights a week on the couch trying to get to sleep with my legs twitching and keeping me up.

In desperation, I’ve tried everything from tonic water, magnesium, walking, massage and nothing worked. Dr Vitalis suggested I try acupuncture for this. I am now getting a restful night’s sleep now. I have been sleeping solidly through the night. I feel like a new person! Thank you to Dr Vitalis and Dr Roberta for all your help.

How acupuncture helps fertility

5 New Discoveries about how Acupuncture helps Fertility

Are you struggling to conceive? Recent studies have revealed the incredible mechanism behind fertility acupunctures‘ ability to improve IVF success rates.

Here is a summary of the most interesting discoveries.

Acupuncture perfects the uterine lining

A triple-line pattern uterine lining is associated with better IVF success, and acupuncture can help. Studies show that this traditional therapy significantly enhances the chances of developing this type of uterine lining, increasing your chances of a successful pregnancy naturally or with IVF.

Improves blood supply

In addition to improving blood flow to ovaries, Acupuncture is also known to improve blood supply to the uterine lining, which is crucial for successful conception. Research has shown that even uterine vascularisation can improve after just three months of treatment, highlighting the benefits of this ancient therapy.

Increases uterine receptivity

Acupuncture has been found to boost the expression of the HOXA10 protein in the uterine lining, which plays a crucial role in endometrial development and implantation of an embryo. This time-tested therapy can improve uterine receptivity. This maybe of a particular value to women with conditions is lowered such as endometriosis, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), and hydrosalpinx.

Regulates sugar levels

Acupuncture can help regulate sugar levels, which is especially vital for women with polycystic ovarian syndrome and diabetes. This traditional therapy can benefit a wide range of patients and help balance their hormone levels.

Optimises ovarian volume and AMH

If you’re dealing with PCOS, acupuncture can help normalise ovarian volume and AMH levels.

How many sessions are needed?

If you’re considering acupuncture for fertility, just one session could already make a difference. However, for more measurable results, it’s recommended to commit to at least 18 sessions or three months of treatment.
