ACUPUNCTURE POST FAILED IVF & IUI

If you have been thru numerous IVF's or IUI's then consider acupuncture and herbs as way to help your body replenish your blood, yin and fluids, Qi and yang that often become depleted by the medications used in these protocols. They pump you, up but leave your qi, blood, yin/yang depleted as the drugs recruit more follicles and ones that normally are not fit for fertilization.  In a normal cycle a woman would only produce one good follicle but with the additonal Follicle Stimulation Medication(FSH) along with your own body's production of FHS the attempt is to get many more, 10 to 15.

Then too, there is the stress and the sadness of failed attempts. Acupuncture can help your body and mind relax to deal with both of these. Most imbalances in the body are emotionally connected because we tense up and contract and the emotion gets locked in somewhere in the body.  This impedes blood flow to the tissues, muscles and most importantly here the pelvic region.
Most couples think of acupuncture to help them become pregnant either naturally or in combination with an IVF or IUI cycle but fail to realize the importance of it for it's own sake of healing and relaxing to help put you back in balance. Once balanced conception will more likely occur without IVF/IUI or with it.

SRPING, A TIME TO REPLENISH YIN & ESSENCE, SO YANG THRIVES

Nourishing the Yin in our bodies takes much more time than nourishing the Yang. The Yin correlates with the fluids and blood in our bodies and everyday gets depleted as we age. So when women or men come to me, inevitably along with the constitutional pattern, just by virtue of an inability to conceive, there is an underlying Kidney Essence and Yin deficiency, despite any Liver/Spleen deficiency or Kidney Yang or Qi deficiencies. This takes time to nourish, and fertility drugs, drugs in general, lack of sleep, intake of processed, quick foods, or lack of fresh foods, stress, overwork, working out too hard or much, all deplete the Yin first! You get dehydrated more, wound up, brain fog, blood sugar imbalances, irritable, low libido, dark circles under eyes, dry eyes, night sweats, insomnia, lack of appetite, afraid, vaginal dryness, premature greying of hair. Sound familiar? In our society today we all want quick, that is not how your body got to this place to begin with, it took years. So I ask you to give yourself time to heal, then the body like a garden regenerates, is not so prone to weeds growing in it like fibroids, or cysts or endometriosis.  When the Yin and the blood are nourished, the Qi moves. Because blood is the mother of Qi and if it ain't healthy then the Qi gets stuck and then you have a double wammy of a problem with obstructions like I just mentioned. So when a woman tells me I will come in for acupuncture when I start trying to conceive again......I think boy this is going to be a "Rush Order" and I am not a "Fast Food" Biz. SPRING IS THE TIME TO CULTIVATE, BUT TILL THE SOIL, WATER, FEED IT, THEN PLANT THE SEEDS!!! Make sense? New Moon day to begin!
