A great read if you’re in the IVF world and not sure if PGT-A testing is for you, published last week in
•
The article refers to yet another study on the reliability of PGT-A testing to determine whether or not an embryo should be transferred or discarded. The study looked at the transfer of 144 embryos PGT-A testing found to be ‘abnormal’, which resulted in 8 live births.
•
I was taught about PGT-A in 2017 studying my Masters in Rep Med. The line from a lecture: “finally, in some IVF centres, it is becoming a technology that is offered to all patients aiming to decrease time to pregnancy, although adequate evidence to support this practice is currently lacking”. This statement stands.
•
Last slide 👉 I’ve written about PGT-A before, referencing several different studies including the 2021 STAR trial and reviews on that research. It’s not a heavy read, it breaks down the technology, and findings in a simple way. Worth a read if you’re entering IVF.
•
Live links to both articles in my stories, or check the link in bio.

Plenty of info on PGT-A from Dr Norman Gleicher, fertility physician based in NY, find him here

•
Aaaand, the message here, a friendly reminder that apps that predict ovulation based on your period will get your ovulation date right less than 21% of the time [1].
If someone told me they’d get my coffee order right less than 21% of the time, I’d call that unreliable.
•
Fertility or ovulation apps use an algorithm to determine your fertile window - most won’t disclose the algorithm they use - but with so much variation within and between women, an algorithm cannot pick up on the subtleties that are needed to narrow down the window.
•
Here’s what to do instead:
🌸turn off your prediction function on your app and use it as a diary.
🌸invest in a set of ovulation prediction tests and start testing from CD8. These help predict ovulation and teach us to match signs and symptoms. These are a helpful tool, but not reliable on their own.
🌸start tracking BBT. A biphasic chart confirms ovulation and tracking over time identifies cyclical patterns.
🌸look at your cervical fluid. Is it clear, watery, slippery, stretchy? You’re probably about to drop an egg.
🌸feel for your cervix. Low and hard? You’re not in your window.

Why do we work predominantly with women given conception requires egg AND s***m?
The answer is here in this article - studies and clinical experience show that men still think of fertility as a woman thing. Women seek us out, they are dedicated patients and get better results. Partners providing s***m tend to assume everything is fine, and if it’s not? Well there’s no point in doing anything about it. That, is simply not true.

We have a plan.
⭐️
We prescribe herbs and supplements very specifically and we prioritise:
essentials➡️heavy lifters➡️nice-to-haves.
We prescribe based on our education, research (note: not Google), clinical experience and continuous professional education. We’ve also considered whether or not there other ways to get the same result we’re aiming for. We’ve made sure we’re addressing causes and not going straight to a band aid approach. We consider how different supplements, herbs or formulas interact. THEN, we make sure our patients are taking said supplementation and/or herbs in a way to maximise their impact. We have a plan.

I was today years old when I learnt that there is a World Sleep Day, AND, that today is the 15th year it’s been recognised.
😴
We talk about sleep at nearly every consultation. Not only does it give us insight to what might be going on in your body, but also because of the important role adequate sleep has on fertility.
•
Sleep 101👇
📱turn your phone off 2 hours before bed
🤓use blue light lenses
🤍consider a herbal formula, we love our Sleep tonic
😴hit the magnesium
☕️avoid caffeine after 10am
😉work with an acupuncturist
•
We’re always looking for more suggestions. Any tricks for a good night sleep?

What’s so good about Lucy?👆
•
Luce is extraordinarily well studied and an experienced practitioner, she’s passionate and (no pressure Luce) she’s really funny.
And, she’s smart. She’s currently studying her masters in reproductive medicine to compliment her BHSc with a double major in acupuncture and herbal medicine.
•
Lucy has a lot of experience working with same-sex and q***r couples through the conception journey and understands the different challenges that arise for the LGBTQI+ community.
•

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗔𝗱𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗮:
Adriana sets a high bar for her patients and as a consequence, has some of the best patient compliance I’ve ever seen in clinic - working with your practitioner’s plans and protocols absolutely drives results.

𝗤𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀
She’s currently finishing her Master degree in Reproductive Medicine

This will add to her;
👉 bachelor degree in health science, with a double major in acupuncture and herbal medicine from
👉 yoga teacher certification
👉 meditation teacher qualification

She’s also an empathic human, loves a chat and is bloody funny. The Fertility Suite is more fun when she’s around.

Current wait time for a new appointment with Adriana is between 1-3 weeks. Appointments are covered by private health insurance.

A 2018 UK based study found that 57% of men presenting to an antenatal clinic had not made any significant changes to their lifestyle despite a high prevalence of alcohol use, smoking and 1/3 of the men being on medication known to be damaging to s***m [1].
•
Positive changes can be small. If you’re TTC buy yourself some flowers and maybe one of these for your partner/s***m provider:
👉 a practitioner grade preconception multi
👉 loose fitting boxers
👉 an appointment with an acupuncturist, fertility naturopath, herbalist or nutritionist
👉 alcohol free beer
👉 or take him out for an oyster dinner
