Dietary & lifestyle change:

Warm, home cooked meals and lots of fresh fruits were suggested. 

Testimonial:

"Thank you Ivy! 

I will recommend you to any of my friends looking for acupuncture."

Ivy's thoughts:

The steroids used during IVF cycle can cause imbalance of internal hormones and induce stress related symptoms such as mood swing, sleeplessness. Acupuncture is a good natural treatment to support women through this process, optimising the treatment outcome. I recommend women start acupuncture a couple of menstrual cycles before commencing IVF treatments to make sure their body is in optimal condition and ensure success of such high cost treatment.
