Fertility requires balanced hormones, structurally sound reproductive organs, good health and a nutritious diet. Even so, the chance of a healthy couple conceiving each month is just 25%. Female factors account for around 35-40% of reasons as to why couples are having difficulties conceiving. For the reproductive system to function at its peak there must also be balance in all body systems. Also many things need to happen at the correct time and in the correct sequence.

We combine the BBT charting with Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine

The causes of female fertility conditions are far more complex than male factor ones. These can be hormonal imbalances leading to no ovulation in a cycle or can be structural conditions such as endometriosis or blocked fallopian tubes. Age also plays a role in female fertility and these days women are often waiting longer to have children. The decline in fertility does occur after 35 with lower quality eggs being produced. The risk of birth defects and miscarriage also increases with age.

Positive Balance Natural Health combines acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine and dietary and lifestyle advice to come up with a treatment plan designed specially for you. I also believe in the concept of preconception care. When planning for a baby you need to be in the best possible health before you get start trying to conceive. This will ultimately help you to produce better quality eggs and create the correct environment to become pregnant.

When we are concerned with fertility the key event of the cycle is ovulation.  If women know when they are ovulating this is a great time to come in for a treatment to give the whole process a boost.  Ladies this is also a good time to book your partner in for a treatment as well!
