Inconceivable Fertility Options

1 in 5 couples over 30 suffers from infertility. 1 in 5.




1 in 5 of those couples has been diagnosed with “unexplained infertility” by their doctor.



The harrowing realities that women and men suffer while exhaustively trying to conceive are often hidden from the rest of our oblivious society. There are torturous emotions that gnaw at a couples’ tenacity, perseverance, and even their once indestructible love.



Prior to the development of in vitro fertilization (IVF), no other fertility treatment options were offered to women with premature ovarian failure or diminished ovarian reserve. To this day IVF, Intrauterine Insemination, Surgery and Hormone Therapy are the only options from a western medical perspective. For the majority of those couples the risks are too grave, the expense too enormous and the success rates too low to consider IVF as a viable option.



Shockingly what the majority of women are never told is how effective the 2,000 year old acupuncture and herbal medicine is in improving not only ovarian function but also egg quality, endometriosis, habitual miscarriage, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, hypothyroidism, high FSH levels, premature menopause, and the ever elusive, unexplained infertility. Men too benefit from acupuncture and herbal medicine improving sperm count, quality, motility and again, the dreaded diagnosis of unexplained male factor infertility.



Even with prestigious medical journals publishing the efficacy of acupuncture combined with IVF increasing pregnancy rates by over 65%* many doctors are still not informing their patients of the tremendously effective treatment of acupuncture for fertility enhancement. The astounding pregnancy rates occurred throughout seven different acupuncture trials with 1,366 women in a systematic review and meta-analysis published February, 2008 issue in the British Medical Journal.



As a patient you must be your own advocate and researcher. As a friend of a couple struggling to get or stay pregnant it is critical you educate your friends with your new empowered fertility enhancement facts.



Acupuncture has had thousands of years to figure out the complexities of reproductive function and its physiological short-comings in couples struggling with their fertility. In our time honored medicine there is no diagnosis of “unexplained infertility”. We assess your entire body, emotional temperament, cycle length, pain levels, color and amount of your menstrual blood, and timing of ovulation to assess your diagnosis as to why you are having a difficult time getting or staying pregnant. With men we assess your sex drive, temperament, back pain and energy levels among other aspects of your overall health. More medical evidence continues to prove acupuncture as a viable option for infertility. A study published in the July 2005 issue of the highly acclaimed medical journal Fertility and Sterility found that acupuncture helped infertile men by improving sperm quality in their semen.



According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, if a woman’s menstrual flow is too light that is indicative that she doesn’t have enough blood to properly nourish her uterine lining essential for implantation. If she tends to be freezing cold all of the time with menstrual pain then she will be diagnosed with cold in her uterus inhibiting proper timing of ovulation. We systematically choose fertility enhancing acupuncture point prescriptions that are unique to the individual patient’s pattern of reproductive disharmony. Our natural medicine is conveniently prepared in the form of liquid or pills. It is also specifically coordinated with the acupuncture prescription to further enhance fertility.
