Acupuncture in Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET): Insights and Benefits
Acupuncture has gained attention as a supportive therapy in Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) cycles within Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART). Research from 2020–2025 highlights its potential to improve short-term pregnancy markers, such as Clinical Pregnancy Rate (CPR) and Biochemical Pregnancy Rate (BPR), by enhancing uterine blood flow, endometrial thickness, and reducing stress and anxiety with IVF and embryo transfer.
Notably, acupuncture is safe, reduces patient anxiety and stress, and likely improves the overall patient experience during a frozen embryo transfer ( FET ). While not proven to increase live birth outcomes, it remains a valuable option for emotional and psychological support during fertility treatments. It is offered through Paradigm as an adjunctive option for patients.
