Did you know that normal menstruation is painless and without clots?. The colour of our menstruation in TCM tells us if the body is unbalanced and what is unbalanced. That is why it is essential to pay attention to it if the colour is a bright red, light red, purple, dark burgundy, crimson red, or watery, etc., so you can tell the acupuncturist so, your acupuncturist can balance your body.

Also, after taking the birth control pill for a long time and stopping it, you could present amenorrhea or irregular menstruation with a lot of clots, and acupuncture can also help normalize the menstruation.

If you are trying to get pregnant, your menstruation must be as expected, which means it should be regular ( 28 days is the perfect timing, but 26- 30 is acceptable), a red colour, with no clots, and no pain. Usually, this process with acupuncture can be achieved in 3 -5 months, with treatment once per week. If your period is every 21 days, it will take longer.

Acupuncture can help you if you are trying to get pregnant using IUI or IVF. We recommend that you start with acupuncture at least a month before your IUI or IVF treatment if menstruation is as described above. However, three months before, if the menstruation is not 28 days,s, bright red, with no clots, and you already have a few IVF and IUI that did not work. Acupuncture will help prepare your body and help you deal with the side effects of the medications your doctor will give you.

It is essential to have acupuncture treatment 24 hours before the transfer and, if possible, the same post-transfer another session or at least the next day. And have another acupuncture session a week later.

Acupuncture will not only help your body in the process but also your mind.
