Chinese Medicine Help

Many cases of infertility I’ve treated have been due to functional hypothyroidism and low basal body temperature. Traditional Chinese Medicine is often successful in using Chinese herbs to correct both of these issues. Progesterone is responsible for quickly raising your body temperature to start ovulation. A significant percentage of women, for a variety of reasons, have low body temperature and experience inadequate elevation of body temperature. This creates a state of poor and irregular ovulation, and if you don’t ovulate well and consistently your chances of conceiving are low. I encourage all of your readers to research and purchase the Baby-Comp, which tracks your BBT (basal body temperature) and tells you exactly when you’re fertile so you know when to get about making babies.

Acupuncture dramatically improves pregnancy rates in women undergoing IVF — A study in Germany that was published here in the USA divided 180 women who were having IVF into two groups of 80 women. One group had IVF with acupuncture and one group had IVF without acupuncture. The group that had acupuncture had a pregnancy rate of 42.5% versus the group that had no acupuncture that had a pregnancy rate of 26.3%. That’s almost a 50% better outcome in the acupuncture group.

Acupuncture can reduce the effects of stress on the body and lower stress related hormones that can impede fertility. The same study we talked about above also examined previous studies on the effect of acupuncture on depression and stress related illnesses. It concluded that acupuncture is a viable option to relieve stress in women that are undergoing fertility treatment. This is particularly important because it is known that stress plays a very important role in failure to conceive. A study that was published in Fertility and Sterility in 2001 looked at the state of mind of women going through IVF. It concluded that the women who were most stressed and worried about the procedure were likely to have 20% fewer eggs available for retrieval and a fertilization rate that was 19% less than more optimistic women.
