ACUPUNCTURE ON THE WAY TO CONCEPTION – WORKSHOP

When we prepare for in vitro fertilization, we try to prepare our body as best as possible for everything that lies ahead and to relieve ourselves of stress as much as possible. One of the recommendations we often receive is to indulge in the charms of acupuncture. For many of us, acupuncture is an unknown method, so we have the opportunity to get to know it at our festival, and we will be helped by Gordana and the Acupuncture on the Way to Conception workshop.

WHAT IS ACUPUNTURE?

Acupuncture is ancient, and today one of the most commonly used therapeutic methods of Chinese medicine that ensures you achieve the best possible conditions to maximize your reproductive health in preparation for conception.

HOW DOES ACUPUNCTURE HELP IN PREPARING FOR CONCEPTION?

If you plan to conceive naturally, acupuncture is indispensable for:

  • regulation of (eventual) irregular cycles
  • establishment of regular ovulation 
  • improvement of circulation in all reproductive organs
  • in cases of painful menstruation
  • in polycystic ovary syndrome 

Before, during and after the VTO procedure, in addition to the above, acupuncture will help you:

  • in balancing the hormonal composition 
  • normalization of the monthly cycle
  • in the reduction of possible side effects of hormonal therapy during preparations for the VTO procedure
  • in the elimination of nus phenomena after anesthesia during aspiration, because it relieves pain, bloating and general discomfort caused by this procedure
  • before and after embryo and cryo-embryo transfer because it supports the process of oxygenation of the uterus and ensures better blood supply, thus also embryo implantation 

In both cases, acupuncture treatments drastically reduce stress and all its manifestations, given its ability to act on the functions of the central and peripheral nervous system, balancing the secretion of adrenaline and steroids with the secretion of endorphins.

Remember – you are not “powerless” during the process of either natural or IVF conception and you have a lot of influence on how planned parenthood will come true! During the first consultation, after examination and diagnostics, a therapy plan is determined, because then it is determined what exactly needs to be changed (possibly) in your lifestyle, diet and in order to reduce stress. By taking responsibility for possible changes in your approach to health, your way of thinking, as well as in your approach to your fertility and family planning, you complement the clinical work of the acupuncturist and then the chances of success are greatest.
