Chinese Medicine
Most of my fertility patients are going through IUI (Intrauterine Insemination or IVF (In Vitro Fertilization). With IVF cycles, women are being monitored almost every other day with ultrasound to check the development of their follicles and their endometrial lining. If a patient reports to me that her follicles are growing too slow (or even too fast), or that her endometrial lining is too thin, if we adjust or increase her acupuncture protocol and/or Chinese medicine, we will notice changes, in many cases right away. There are definite measurable improvements in both quantity and quality of the developing follicles, even synchronizing of those follicles are possible. Even the endometrial lining has been seen to increase two to three millimeters within two to three days! This can greatly impact the success of an IVF cycle!

Female and Male Fertility issues
Miscarriage - Assisted Reproductive Technology
The biggest concern with older women who conceive and those that conceive with the help of ART (Assisted Reproductive Technology) is the prevention of miscarriage. More than half of these pregnancies result in miscarriages. Acupuncture and/or Chinese herbal medicine can drastically reduce this number. High risk women are encouraged to continue or start acupuncture treatments early on in their pregnancies, as it can be extremely helpful with keeping a pregnancy in tact. Often times, women who have conceived through ART or are older than thirty-five years old, have imbalances and deficiencies to begin with. Acupuncture with or without Chinese herbs can balance the body, strengthen weaknesses and help a woman carry her baby to term.
