Integrating acupuncture and customized herbal medicine into an IVF protocol makes sense due to their potential to enhance fertility outcomes through complementary mechanisms that support reproductive health. Acupuncture has been shown to improve blood flow to the uterus and ovaries, regulate hormones, reduce stress, and optimize endometrial receptivity, which can lead to higher clinical pregnancy rates and live birth rates when performed around embryo transfer or throughout the IVF cycle. Customized herbal medicine, often based on traditional Chinese formulas, further contributes by addressing underlying issues like hormonal imbalances or poor ovarian function, with meta-analyses indicating improvements in pregnancy and live birth rates without significant adverse effects. When combined, these therapies provide a holistic approach that not only boosts IVF success—potentially increasing live births by up to 60% in some studies—but also helps patients manage the emotional and physical demands of treatment, making them a safe and evidence-backed addition for those seeking to maximize their chances of conception.
