IVF and other forms of assisted reproductive technology is often the last resort for many people that have tried to conceive for
some time. Assisted reproduction can start with simple intervention, perhaps stimulating ovulation, or can be all the way to IVF. None of these procedures are taken on lightly and are generally given much thought, financially, emotionally and physically.
It has been shown in research that if you prepare yourself before you start any such invention, you will reep the benefits in the form of less side affects along with greater results. Dr Alice Domar from Boston IVF http://www.bostonivf.com/ has shown integrating mind-body techniques to elicit a ‘relaxation response’ along with healthy lifestyle training (nutrition, exercise, sleep) boosted conception rates to 55% compared to 20% success in the control group. Ideally starting your preparation 3 months prior to IVF, to ensure you are in peak health, working on your diet, encouraging relaxation and ensuring you feel supported.
Once you have began medication, we continue to work with you, supporting you nutritionally and emotionally. We ensure that the treatments we offer at this time are supported by your medical doctor and do not use anything that could interfere with your treatment. The Foresight Association has also shown in research combining preconception care (nutrition and lifestyle modifications) with IVF, 47.1% of couples have healthy babies, they have also shown a reduction in miscarriages
When working with you we like to start with a full review of your diet along with a complete history of your symptoms and your health. We then combine this information with any tests you have had done previously and the in-house screening that we do to put a treatment plan together that we can all agree on.
We also support you with Fertility Yoga Classes for women, which create an opportunity to be in a supportive environment, among other women that are also trying to conceive. Fertility Yoga is a great to help reduce your stress levels as well as encourage blood flow to the reproductive organs, therefore nurturing your organs and uterus ready for implantation to occur.
