Study Summary
One of the most widely used procedures in reproductive medicine technologies is In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). During the IVF procedure, there are sometimes unused embryos that are frozen to be used at later times. If these embryos are thawed and transferred back to the mother, proper development of the uterine lining plays an important role in outcome of pregnancy. Electro-acupuncture (EA), a technique where electrical current is applied to the needle to stimulate an acupoint, has been shown to increase uterine blood flow, increasing the likelihood of developing a more ideal endometrial lining. This randomized study aims to evaluate the impact of EA on endometrium undergoing medicated frozen embryo transfer cycle preparation. The treatment group will receive four acupuncture treatments during the medicated uterine preparation. Endometrial thickness will be compared to a group that does not receive acupuncture.
