Acupuncture may improve IVF outcomes by enhancing physiological and psychological factors critical to fertility. The practice involves the stimulation of blood flow, the regulation of hormones, and the reduction of stress. Increased uterine blood flow can improve endometrial thickness, creating a more favorable environment for embryo implantation. Acupuncture may also balance reproductive hormones like FSH and LH, supporting ovarian function and egg quality. Additionally, it promotes relaxation by lowering cortisol levels, which can otherwise disrupt the delicate hormonal interplay needed for successful IVF. Studies suggest that acupuncture, particularly when administered before and after embryo transfer, is associated with higher pregnancy rates, likely due to these combined effects.
