Abstract

​

​

Objective

​

To share 20 cases of women with diminished ovary reserve (DOR) and low Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH), who had unsuccessful in-vitro fertilization (IVF) trials and to whom the author has successfully treated.

​

​

Methods

​

Twenty women with DOR had gone through the failed IVF from 1 to 5 times. The acupuncture protocol consists of electroacupuncture, manual acupuncture, acupressure and sliding-cupping, which are the multiple interventions. The acupoints were used based on 5 phases of the menstrual cycle. The electroacupuncture was used twice a week in the follicle phase and the acupuncture without the electricity was used once a week in the luteal phase. Most of them had been treated for three menstrual cycles.

​

​

Results

​

All of 20 women got pregnant by IVF (17 casese) or naturally (3 cases).

​

​

Conclusion

​

Acupuncture might improve IVF outcomes for women with DOR by acupuncture treatment for three months or help them to receive naturally.
