PCOS and Endometriosis
Measuring Anti Mullerian Hormone (AMH) gives an idea of your ovarian reserve. It will also tell you how your ovaries will likely respond during IVF.
Ovarian reserve can also be assessed by taking a day 3 Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) test. If this hormone tests high, it indicates a reduction in follicles, and the quality of eggs may also be an issue.
Using Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture, we focus on strengthening your kidney energy, promoting a good flow of blood to your ovaries and uterus and optimising the quality of your eggs. I use kinesiology to test which supplements may help this process.
With endometriosis, heavy periods can make scarring can make conception difficult. IVF may be suggested to improve your chances of conception. Using acupuncture, we can help nourish the blood, improve blood circulation, and help reduce adhesions.
Autoimmune issues can be pretty perplexing when trying to get pregnant. You may have been trying for a while to get pregnant and had the odd long cycle, or you have had IVF several times and have not conceived. In this situation, the immune system can work against us and not provide a hospitable environment for an embryo to enter. If you undergo IVF and have resistant suppressive treatment, acupuncture can help moderate your immune response. We’ll aim to reduce inflammation, calm the immune system and strengthen your constitution.
