About the therapies
Enhancing Your IVF Journey
These complementary IVF therapies are designed to work alongside core treatments such as IVF and ICSI to promote better outcomes.
Intralipid Fusion
Intralipids are fat emulsions given as an intravenous supplement. They may help deactivate natural killer cells that can interfere with embryo implantation. Research suggests intralipids may support implantation in certain patients by modulating immune responses. They are safe, well-tolerated, and administered under careful medical supervision.
Filgrastim Medication (Neupogen, Zarzio, Granix)
Filgrastim stimulates the body to produce white blood cells that play a role in the immune system. It may be considered for patients who have experienced recurrent miscarriages or repeated implantation failures. Filgrastim can be administered as an injection or uterine wash and is recommended only when clinically indicated.
Endometrial Scratching
This procedure involves gently scratching the endometrial lining to encourage repair and regeneration. Studies suggest it may improve implantation rates in women who have had repeated IVF failures, even when embryos appear to be of good quality. Endometrial scratching is a minor procedure carried out before embryo transfer.
Reflexology
Reflexology is a therapeutic massage applied to reflex points in the feet, hands, or head that correspond to different parts of the body. It can help reduce stress, support hormonal balance, and improve overall wellbeing. Many patients choose reflexology before embryo transfer to promote relaxation during treatment.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture uses ultra-thin needles placed on specific points of the body to regulate energy flow and improve blood circulation. When performed alongside IVF, acupuncture may help increase blood flow to the uterus and ovaries, supporting implantation. Treatments are usually given shortly before and after embryo transfer.
Medical Reiki
Medical Reiki integrates energy therapy into medical care, supporting physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing. It helps restore balance, reduce stress, and create a more positive environment for fertility treatment. Reiki may be especially beneficial for women seeking holistic support during their IVF journey.
Frequently asked Questions
Not all patients need supplementary therapies. They are offered in specific cases, such as recurrent implantation failures, immune-related issues, or when additional support is requested.
