Pre-Conception Care

Reproductive- Pre-ConceptionWe believe for you to optimize your chances of having a healthy pregnancy and delivering a healthy baby, you should prepare your body for 3-6 months.  Your body begins to recruit your eggs about 120 days before they are released, and it takes about 90 days for sperm to renew. This is a window of opportunity for you to nourish your body to improve egg quality, and strengthen your uterus by increasing blood flow to your uterus and ovaries, as well as enhancing sperm count, motility, and morphology.

As you age, blood flow decreases, and science has verified that the circulation to the reproductive organs diminishes. Given that blood provides oxygen and nutrients, it is easy to realize why a lack of blood flow to these organs can result in poor egg and sperm quality. Therefore, as circulation increases, the environment in which both the eggs and sperm develop and mature is restored.

It is important to remember that healing and strengthening our bodies takes time. Acupuncture treatment and lifestyle changes during the preconception time are very important, whether you are trying to become pregnant naturally or through IUI/IVF.

Studies have shown that women and men receiving acupuncture along with Chinese herbal medicinals, appropriate nutrients, adequate exercise, and stress reduction techniques, improve their chances for developing healthier eggs and sperm.
