Fertility and Reproductive Health
Chinese medicine has been successfully treating women’s health issues for thousands of years — including imbalances related to fertility.
At WomanCare Fertility and Wellness we truly understand how a woman’s body functions. A body functioning at its best is the foundation of fertility—this is what leads to conception and a healthy, happy, full-term pregnancy. Many fertility issues—even cases of “”unexplained fertility”, can be treated successfully using Chinese medicine.
Natural Conception Support
We welcome women with and without partners during all stages of their reproductive journey. Whether you’ve just started trying to conceive, have tried unsuccessfully, or are just thinking about trying to add a tiny human to your life, we can help. .
Our fertility treatments will help regulate and support your endocrine, nervous, and circulatory systems to greatly increase the possibility of a successful pregnancy, no matter where you are in the process.
How can acupuncture and Chinese medicine help with fertility, specifically?
It can increase blood flow to the uterus and ovaries.
It can regulate hormones and menstrual cycles.
It can increase the thickness of the uterine lining.
It can improve ovarian function, resulting in higher quality eggs.
It can improve sperm count, mobility and morphology.
With our individualized approach to your unique fertility imbalances, we take the time to get to know you–the entire you and treat you as a person, not a diagnosis, set of symptoms or lab numbers.
We will adjust your treatments throughout the month to support the phases of your cycle, which over time, will address the root imbalances.
As a reminder, enhanced fertility is an undeniable byproduct of enhanced health, and our goal is always to optimize your WHOLE health, not simply treat a symptom. As we work towards this optimization, , we often relieve and or resolve specific conditions that may be interfering with your fertility, including:
Irregular menstrual cycles
Endometriosis and uterine fibroids
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)
Poor ovarian reserve
High FSH
Amenorrhea (no period)
Anovulation (no ovulation and lack of menstrual periods)
Thin endometrial lining
Premature Ovarian Failure (POF)
Luteal phase defect
Hormonal imbalance
Unexplained Infertility
Recurrent miscarriage
Advanced maternal age
Immunologic conditions
Stress, anxiety, and insomnia.
Integrative Care
We happily coordinate care with your reproductive endocrinologist (RE) or OB/GYN.
Male Reproductive Health
Even though it’s not something you hear often, male factor issues are responsible for 40-50% of all infertility cases. Chinese medicine has personalized and effective treatments to address a variety of male factor issues including:
Low sperm count
Low sperm motility
Problems with morphology
Our women are often the partner that finds us and starts the journey with us, but in many cases of infertility it makes sense to have your male partner in for a full Chinese medicine evaluation, as well.
ART/IVF
Many of our patients are looking to enhance their fertility naturally, but others may need a little extra help in enhancing the effects of their Western fertility treatments, such as IVF, IUI, egg freezing, or donor transfers.
