For example, "Even though I have this fear of heights, I deeply and completely accept myself". Rate the Intensity: On a scale of 0 to 10, rate how intense the feeling is. Tap the Points: Start tapping on the "karate chop" point (the side of your palm). Tapping Sequence: Say your statement out loud three times while tapping the karate chop point, then tap through a sequence of points on your head and face. Re-assess: After tapping the sequence, rate the intensity of the feeling again on the 0-10 scale. Repeat: If the intensity is still high, repeat the process until you feel a significant reduction in distress.

One study showed that it also significantly improved the appearance of the lining) and the rate of embryo implantation, and pregnancy.In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a commonly used technique for the treatment of different types of infertility. Despite many recent technological advances, the average success rates with IVF is still about 20-25% (1). Various methods such as controlled ovarian stimulation, prescription of antioxidants such as Vitamin C or folic acid (2), and acupuncture have been introduced to increase the efficacy of IVF (3). Acupuncture has been applied as a useful therapeutic mean in the treatment of many diseases (4). It has become more popular among western world on account of low side-effects, convenience, and great effect on general well-being. Acupuncture is based on meridians where qi and blood flow within the body. There are specific points alongside these meridians known as acupoints. Acupuncture can regulate the flow of qi and blood in the meridian system by using acupoints stimulation. It regulates the disturbance of the organs' function in the body and restores their normal functions (5).

In a prospective, randomized study by Stener-Victorin and co-worker (10), it was shown that electro-acupuncture during oocyte aspiration in IVF treatment can result in a significant higher implantation rate and successful delivery as compared with alfentanil administration. In another prospective randomized trial, Westergaard and colleagues (11) revealed using acupuncture can significantly improve IVF outcome on the day of embryo transfer (ET). In a meta-analysis study of 10 randomized clinical trial (RCT) studies, (6) a significant increase in pregnancy rate (PR) of IVF treatment was considered especially when acupuncture was administered on the day of ET. Paulus and colleagues showed a significantly increased clinical PR in the patients received acupuncture on the day of ET as compared with patients not received acupuncture treatment (7).
