Supporting Follicular Genesis with Acupuncture and Self-Care

Erin / Advanced Maternal Age, Diminished Ovarian Reserve, Egg Quality, Endometriosis, In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) Support, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), Unexplained Infertility

The egg you release this menstrual cycle has actually been in its final phase of maturation for the past 3 menstrual cycles. That is when the pre-antral follicle stage began; during this time the follicle grows from 0.2 mm to about 20 mm when the follicle is finally mature and the egg is ready for fertilization. Many follicles grow at the same time during the pre-antral stage. The follicles become “antral” once there is a fluid-filled sac which surrounds the egg.

How Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine can help with Diminished Ovarian Reserve (DOR)

Sean / Advanced Maternal Age, Diminished Ovarian Reserve

While diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) is more common in women as they get older, it can be an issue for younger women as well. The reasons for DOR are numerous, including age, cysts, endometriosis, high body mass index, history of tumours or radiation, or family history. While many of these causes are a result of an identifiable situation, it is still true that at 37 years old, a woman will have about 25,000 eggs remaining,

How Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine can help with Advanced Maternal Age (AMA)

Sean / Advanced Maternal Age, Diminished Ovarian Reserve, Egg Quality

The term ‘advanced maternal age’ (AMA) is misleading, as women of ‘advanced age’ are in reality quite young, usually in their late 30s or 40s. Strong, confident, capable women who have already lived a full life or two and are now ready to consider expanding their family and having a child. The term ‘advanced maternal age’ is relative though, and it is known that the chances of falling pregnant decrease as we move into our late 30s,

Diminished Ovarian Reserve – Learn how you can rejuvenate your eggs with the help of Naturopathic Medicine

Nora / Advanced Maternal Age, Diminished Ovarian Reserve

Following up on my previous post about Advanced Maternal Age, I wanted to write about a topic that is closely related. DOR or Diminished Ovarian Reserve is definitely not a desired diagnosis if you’re looking to conceive. It’s important to understand, however, that this diagnosis is not the be-all & end-all of your fertility journey. The term “diminished” makes it sound quite bleak but it’s important to look at the big picture and remember that it takes just one egg and one sperm to create a healthy baby.

Am I running out of time to have a baby? Natural Solutions for Advanced Maternal Age

Nora / Advanced Maternal Age, Diminished Ovarian Reserve, Egg Quality

It’s no secret that women these days are making the decision to conceive much later in their lives than they were, say, 30-40 years ago. In my opinion, this is a wise decision in many ways as we are giving ourselves the opportunity to build up both financially and emotionally in preparation for nurturing a new life. The downfall here is that nature created us so that we as women have this “biological clock” that everyone talks about.

My testimony for such great treatment and care

Harris / Diminished Ovarian Reserve, Dr Harris Fisher testimonials, Miscarriage & Recurrent Pregnancy Loss

Shortly after getting married in 2013, I had a miscarriage. I was 35 at the time and my husband and I were devastated — I became obsessed with motherhood. “My whole focus turned to getting pregnant. And every month that it didn’t happen, my obsession got worse.” After losing another baby at around 10 weeks, I was desperate. A trip to a fertility clinic with my husband, revealed that I had high levels of follicle-stimulating hormones and lower levels of Anti-Mullerian Hormones.

May you be forever blessed as much as we are

Dr. Spence Pentland / Diminished Ovarian Reserve, Dr Spence Pentland testimonials, In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) Support

Dear Spence,

After several mainful years of infertility with no answers as to ‘why’ other than my ever-increasing age, I decided to work with Dr. Pentland as a last ditch effort along with my last attempt at ivf and icsi. Each time previous the result was not enough follicles, no eggs or no successful insemination. I started doing acupuncture with Spence, and along with his help, changed my eating, took different suppliments and implemented as many de-stressing techniques as possible.
