Acupuncture for Recurrent Miscarriage Support

Acupuncture to Prevent Miscarriage

The 2017/18 clinical audit using two years of data from the Truth Fertility clinic showed a 78% live birth rate for women who had miscarried in the past.

How Acupuncture Can Help

Miscarriage is distressingly common and can leave couples feeling powerless. Many of our patients come to us after one or more losses, seeking both physical recovery and a clearer understanding of why it happened.

Acupuncture can support hormonal balance, regulate immune and inflammatory factors, and improve uterine blood flow — all key elements in sustaining a healthy pregnancy. Clinical trials have also shown improved ongoing pregnancy rates when acupuncture is used alongside IVF.

We therefore recommend continuing acupuncture throughout early pregnancy to help maintain uterine stability and optimise implantation. While miscarriage can sometimes be a natural process due to chromosomal or foetal abnormalities that no treatment can prevent, recurrent loss signals an underlying issue worth investigating and addressing.

Sperm Health and Miscarriage

It's important for women to remember that it takes two to create and carry a baby to full term. Miscarriages around 6–8 weeks are often linked to problems in placental development. While eggs and the womb play vital roles, sperm DNA also matters. Paternal genes strongly influence how the placenta grows and establishes a blood supply. If sperm DNA is damaged, the placenta may not function properly, increasing the risk of pregnancy loss. Visit our page on male infertility to find out how our treatments can be used to improve sperm health.

Sperm health has seen a rapid and radical decline over the last 50 years, plummeting by 60% with no sign of levelling off. To understand more on this subject read the article: epigenetics-and-dna-fragmentation.htm,

Early Pregnancy HCG Blood Testing

Those first few weeks of pregnancy can feel incredibly uncertain. While home urine tests can confirm pregnancy, they don’t provide much detail or reassurance about how things are progressing. That’s where HCG blood testing can make a real difference.

At Truth Fertility, we can arrange quantitative HCG blood tests — often able to detect pregnancy even before a urine test would turn positive. These tests measure the precise level of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) in your blood, offering an earlier and more accurate indication of pregnancy.

For those navigating anxiety or previous pregnancy loss, we can also arrange repeat HCG testing a few days apart to confirm that your levels are rising and doubling as expected. It’s a simple but powerful way to gain peace of mind and feel more supported during those early, delicate stages.
