Fertility and pregnancy
Ancient treatments for modern times
Chinese medicine has been supporting couples to fall pregnant naturally for thousands of years. Indeed, women's health has for centuries been improved by Chinese medicine.
In modern times, more and more couples are turning to Chinese medicine to increase their pregnancy success naturally as well as with assisted reproductive treatments such as IVF.
Further, by treating you as a whole, Chinese medicine helps you and your partner deal with the emotional journey of attempting pregnancy and its physiological aspects.
What is involved with fertility treatment?
Any fertility or gynecological treatment usually requires 3 full mentrual cycles to instigate change and to see if this change is sustainable. However, in some cases you may require more or less treatment depending on your own circumstances.
In general you will be treated with a combination of acupuncture and herbal medicine.
Acupuncture and IVF
You will go through three straightforward stages to fertility treatment:
Preparation
You will receive acupuncture and, if appropriate, herbal medicine between one and three months before your IVF cycle. This gives your body time to prepare and gives you the best chance of success with the IVF process. Treatment is tailored to your needs and can assist in reducing the impacts of any stress or anxiety about the IVF process on your fertility. (there is no feel for the amount of time involved in this and other stages…perhaps there doesn't need to be?)
Transfer
You will receive pre- and post-transfer treatment with acupuncture on the same day as your IVF transfer to maximise your chance of success.
Miscarriage prevention
You will receive acupuncture twice in the week following transfer, usually with a day in between. This will further improve your chance of success by encouraging your body to maintain the early pregnancy.
You will be cared for by the professionals at the Blue Sky Clinic throughout your critical first trimester of pregnancy.
7 reasons to use the Blue Sky Clinic with your IVF treatment
Fertility and pregnancy is our focus and our passion. We are up to date on the latest research and are experienced and qualified. Nothing makes us happier than seeing a 'Blue Sky baby' visit the clinic.
We take the time to listen and form a treatment plan that works with your other treatment protocols.
We are flexible. We understand the timing of your IVF cycle depends on your hormone levels, medications and on other factors. We go out of our way to work with you to get the best results.
We communicate. This is an emotional time and you'll want to really understand your treatment. Open communications is important so we explain what we are going to do, why and will answer your questions any time.
We like to collaborate with your IVF doctors. We speak the same language (our doctors are trained in bio-medical sciences) and you know that to receive the best possible care, your IVF doctor is always welcome to talk to us.
We are professional. The Blue Sky Clinic offers professional care in a professional clinical setting. All our practitioners have the highest level of training at Australian university level.
Personalised care. We take the time to get to know you and your unique situation. As we develop our understanding we learn how to tailor our treatment specifically to you.
