What Dr. Schiff has announced, and the publications that carried it.
Every entry opens on the publication’s own site, where you can read the full release.
These three outlets carried Dr. Schiff’s November 2026 release on when to start acupuncture for IVF, and each row leads with a different part of it. For how she plans that care, read about acupuncture for IVF and transfer day acupuncture. For the numbers in full, see our guide to IVF success rates.
AP News published Dr. Susan Schiff’s advice for IVF patients across Palm Beach County who expect a January or February cycle: begin acupuncture now, about three months ahead, and book transfer day once the clinic sets a date. Calendar-year health plans reset on January 1, and the longer runway lets weekly visits fit the clinic’s stimulation calendar instead of being squeezed in around it.
The release on EIN Presswire sets out a split in the evidence. A 2002 trial of 160 women in Germany reported clinical pregnancies in 42.5 percent of the acupuncture group against 26.3 percent of the control group. A 2018 JAMA trial of 848 women found live births of 18.3 percent with acupuncture and 17.8 percent with sham treatment. Dr. Schiff’s position is that both tested a short protocol, and she does not tell patients acupuncture will raise their odds.
EIN News Florida Newswire
EIN’s Florida newswire carried the practical side of the release. Dr. Schiff travels to fertility clinics across Palm Beach County and treats patients in two short sessions of about twenty to thirty minutes, the first ahead of the transfer and the second while they rest afterward. Some clinics do not permit outside practitioners, and then both sessions are scheduled at the Wellington office around the transfer time. Patients not already in care can book transfer day on its own after a brief phone consultation.
Bring your clinic’s calendar. Dr. Schiff will tell you what was tested, what was not, and how the timing fits.
All visits are by appointment only, in the office, at your clinic, at home, or by video.
