Can acupuncture help you in conceiving a child? Although there is no data that can be treated as a legitimate scientific study, many fertility experts who practice conventional medicine agree that they have seen significant improvement with their patients who decided to add acupuncture to their regular treatments.
What acupuncture can definitely do is to improve blood circulation in your pelvic area. That stimulates your ovaries to release healthier eggs and helps your uterus to be ready for pregnancy. The treatment should start before the conception, and usually stops in 12th week of your pregnancy, unless your acupuncturist thinks that you should continue with it.
One more thing that acupuncture can give you in the times when you are unsuccessfully trying to conceive a baby is stress relief and relaxation. Of course, you are full of hopes and dreams in the beginning, but when you are trying long enough, getting pregnant can definitely be a stressful task, which affects yours and your partner’s feelings.
Even if you decided to go through IVF procedure, acupuncture is beneficial. The data shows that your chances of giving birth to a healthy baby are 7% higher than with the people who haven’t used acupuncture. If you are planning IVF and want to try to improve your chances with acupuncture, it is advised to make your appointment at least three months prior to the procedure date.
You may already know that acupuncture is an ancient Asian practice that deals with many diseases and that it consists of sticking a large number of needles into the patient’s body at precise points. If you have issues with needles, the first few treatments can be a frightening experience, but you should focus on your goal of getting pregnant and all of your fears will eventually go away.
Acupuncturists frequently combine treatments with herbal pills, which can be beneficial for the entire body. Note that your acupuncturist won’t stick any needles in your pelvic area and stomach, since those points are forbidden to be used for women who want to become pregnant.
Although not all medical professionals think that acupuncture can actually help you to get pregnant, they all agree that there are no threats for you and your baby if you try to use it for improving fertility. So, give it a try and enjoy the period of trying to get pregnant as much as your parenthood. Good luck!
