Main Line Fertility offers patients the opportunity to incorporate acupuncture into their in vitro fertilization (IVF) journey, specifically on the day of embryo transfer. This traditional Chinese practice has been widely used alongside fertility treatments to support relaxation and overall well-being.
The Benefits of Acupuncture During Embryo Transfer
Research suggests that acupuncture on the day of embryo transfer may help:
- Reduce stress and promote relaxation, creating a calm environment for embryo implantation.
- Increase blood flow to the uterus, which may support a more receptive uterine lining.
- Minimize uterine contractions, helping to encourage embryo attachment.
- Potentially improve IVF pregnancy rates.
By integrating acupuncture into your embryo transfer day, you may enhance your body's receptivity and further support your fertility treatment.
What to Expect on Transfer Day
If you choose to include acupuncture as part of your embryo transfer experience, your session will take place at our surgical center before and/or after the procedure. A credentialed acupuncturist will perform the treatment in coordination with your Main Line Fertility care team to ensure a seamless experience. Sessions are designed to be relaxing and typically last 20–30 minutes.
How to Schedule Your Acupuncture Session
Acupuncture on transfer day must be performed by an MLF surgery center–credentialed acupuncturist. To schedule, please contact one of our approved acupuncture partners directly. They will coordinate your session with your physician and care team:
