The essence of the fertility enhancement program is to take a closer look at the body from a holistic perspective and correct any and all imbalances that may be contributing to suboptimal fertility. Our mission is to help restore your fertility so that you can conceive naturally or increase your success rates if doing Assisted Reproductive Therapies (ART). Below is a list of the common types of fertility patients we work closely with:
* PCOS & Ovulatory Dysfunction * High FSH/ Low AMH/ "Poor Responder" * Unexplained * Endometriosis & Cysts * Male Infertility - Low motility, morphology and count * Single-parents by choice * Donors and Gestational Surrogates * Couples who have exhausted ART options * All are welcome here
It is our strong belief that all women and men should strive for optimal health when planning to begin a family. The reproductive system works much like a concert symphony- a masterpiece is created only if all the players are giving their best. Women may have clues that their periods are not healthy; they may have lots of PMS symptoms or pain, heavy bleeding or irregular cycles. The first goal of the Fertility Enhancement Program is to educate women on the details of their menstrual cycles: to help them interpret BBT charts, identify cervical fluid, understand how the hormones interplay and work to create an optimal fertile environment. Then we use the tools within the Fertility Enhancement Program to attain better balance. These can be:
* Acupuncture *Traditional Chinese Herbal Formulas * Relaxation and stress reduction * Recommendations for Supplements * Full Body and/or Abdominal Massage * Mindfulness & Meditation * BBT charting/ understanding your cycle * Lifestyle modifications to promote better health in general * Complimentary care for Assisted Reproductive Therapies
Acupuncture offers a natural approach to increasing fertility by focusing on enhancing the quality of eggs, sperm, endometrial lining and cervical fluid. Sometimes this is enough for people to conceive on their own, and acupuncture treatment can aid in the support of people who are about to undergo the physical demands of ARTs. Acupuncture can support patients during In Vitro Fertilization, Intra-Uterine Insemination, and Hormonal Therapy cycles. Current research points to increased pregnancy rates when people include acupuncture and holistic medicine as part of their fertility care.
