After only four sessions, to our surprise, she conceived naturally. She is now in her 10th week of pregnancy, and we continue with regular pregnancy acupuncture.
Case 47: Helen, 42 years old
Helen had undergone four unsuccessful IVF cycles before coming to us. In total, seven 5-day-old embryos were transferred, but no pregnancy occurred. Her most recent IVF was especially poor: only one ovum was retrieved, which failed to fertilize. Her FSH was 15, AMH 0.38, and she had Hashimoto’s-induced hypothyroidism. Her cycle was extremely short—often only 2 days with dark clots—and increasingly irregular. We performed 17 implant acupuncture sessions prior to her IVF with donor eggs. Her uterine lining improved from 5.6 mm (day 11) to 9.1 mm (day 21), ideal for embryo transfer. She became pregnant after the first transfer and continued acupuncture until the 18th week.
Case 48: Botond, 30 years old
Botond lived a healthy lifestyle, except for intense physical labor—10 hours daily. After a year of unsuccessful attempts to conceive, a spermiogram revealed OAT syndrome. Despite taking Profertil for 3 months, his results worsened, and IVF-ICSI was recommended. He came to us for complementary treatment. After 6 sessions, his sperm quality improved significantly. Shortly afterward, his wife conceived naturally.
Case 49: Sándor, 46 years old
Sándor suffered from prostatitis and erectile dysfunction. After two years of trying without success, he was diagnosed with asthenozoospermia and advised to proceed with IVF-ICSI. He also struggled with high stress and anxiety. After three implant acupuncture sessions, his stress levels and digestion improved. His wife became pregnant after the first embryo transfer, and we continued with two more sessions for him.
Case 50: Hajnalka, 40 years old
Hajnalka and her husband tried to conceive naturally for 5 years. Despite normal hormone tests, they were diagnosed with unexplained infertility. Their first IVF in May 2024 was unsuccessful. She came to us before the next IVF for complementary acupuncture. After four sessions, her cycle became regular and extended from 25 to 28 days, without pain. Her digestion also improved. After six implant acupuncture treatments, she conceived naturally.
Case 51: Anett, 39 years old
Anett came to us after two miscarriages. She had hypothyroidism and insulin resistance for 10 years. She also had immune issues: high NK cell ratio, positive lupus anticoagulant, and antiphospholipid syndrome. She was prescribed Plaquenil, steroids, and Smoflipid, but ovulation ceased while on steroids. After discontinuing steroids, she experienced joint inflammation. As a couple, they decided to try for a natural pregnancy only, and began acupuncture. After a year and a half of regular implant acupuncture, Anett conceived naturally following the 18th treatment.
Case 52: Gréta, 43 years old
Gréta had multiple sclerosis for 17 years, with frequent dizziness. Despite a high AMH (4.1), she rarely ovulated. Immunological markers were abnormal (NK 24.1%, NK function 126.4%, CD4/8 1.6), and she had been treated with ASA, Medrol, and Smoflipid. After three unsuccessful IUIs and hormonal treatments that failed to produce viable follicles, she came to us feeling exhausted and anxious. We did three months of implant acupuncture, then a short break for tonsil surgery, followed by two more sessions. After the 9th treatment, she conceived naturally.
Case 53: Brigitta, 33 years old
Brigitta had been trying to conceive for 3 years and was diagnosed with insulin resistance but didn’t strictly follow the diet. She was overweight, fatigued, and had frequent bloating. Before coming to us, she had undergone 2 IVF cycles and 3 embryo transfers; the last resulted in no viable embryos. Despite this, her cycle was regular, FSH 8.4, AMH 1.14. After 5 acupuncture treatments, she became pregnant naturally.
Case 54: Anita, 34 years old
Anita had primary ovarian insufficiency with AMH 0.24 and FSH 46.39. Her menstrual cycle was irregular (22–25 days). She had undergone 4 IVF cycles with only 2 embryo transfers; the latest attempt had no egg retrieval. She also had Raynaud’s syndrome for over 10 years. After 10 months of implant acupuncture, her next IVF resulted in 4 eggs, 2 embryos, and one transfer (the other frozen). She became pregnant and continued acupuncture until week 18.
