​​Clinical audit of live birth rates 2017/2018 

Women receiving IVF in the UK are given, on average, a 25% chance of success, and just 14% for women in the 40+ category. Verity Allen Acupuncture has given women the chance to double, if not triple their chances of success. 

The audit also showed a positive outcome for women who had miscarried or habitually miscarried in the past, with a 78% live birth rate. 

​Women with clinically diagnosed Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) saw a 60% success rate.

The research to date on acupuncture assisted IVF also found it to significantly improve birth rates and reduce the risk of miscarriage. 

It's not only in the Verity Allen Acupuncture clinic that acupuncture has been proven successful.

A 2018 systematic review, with a total of 3,188 sub-fertile women from 12 randomised controlled trials found acupuncture to significantly improve birth rates to 52.6%.
