This is my baby. It’s not what everyone thinks they grow up and have… but it’s what happened to me. I love this little sweet pea a lot!

I also have two step daughters who are both hilarious, confidant and brave kids. I love spending my weekends with them when they are at Daddy & Amy’s house.

Family isn’t always what you expect, but it can be beautiful.

I feel really lucky to have what I do.

The love of this little dog has blown my mind. 😅

HOT OFF THE PODCAST PRESS!!
The Yin and Yang of Fertility and what you need to know to support your Fertility.

In this podcast, Amy Forth chats with Tasha Jennings on the Conceive Baby Podcast all about how Chinese Medicine understands and addresses fertility. It was a great chat!

If you’ve been trying to conceive for any length of time, you’ll have likely heard about acupuncture or maybe received an acupuncture treatment yourself.

In this episode, we dig beyond that and look at the foundations of Chinese Medicine and Fertility and how they can help you.

What does Ying and Yang really mean? What is QI and how does it relate to your fertility? Plus we’ll be talking about the 5 elements of Chinese Medicine and how we can use these to nourish our fertility.

I love this point. Often known as the headache 🤕 point “Large intestine 4” -have you had it?

This point Large Intestine 4, or hegu, is used A LOT in our clinic as it is traditionally used to encourage blood flow to the uterus and move energy downwards. 👇

This point we use a lot during the period time and through the follicular phase (from period time to ovulation) as it is traditionally known for its ability to increase energy and blood flow to the uterus. The downward energetics of this point is also great for helping with headaches, period pain and constipation and we even use it in the final weeks of pregnancy from 36 weeks to help the body prepare for birth!

Incredible huh!

You can use this point also in acupressure however this point is not recommended after ovulation, nor in pregnancy, until you reach the 36th week.

Fantastic! But what exactly does Acupuncture do, and how can it support your IVF journey?

Colette Assor IVF Babble Acupuncture Leading Expert opens up a conversation withAcupuncturist Lianne Aquilina, leading researcher, and co-author of the textbook acupuncture and IVF.

Colette and Lianne talk about research, emotional health and wellbeing, and that subfertility is not just a medical condition, along with how to find a high-level qualified acupuncturist on an accredited register.

“I have spoken many times before about how I felt acupuncture made a huge difference to my final round of IVF. Not only did it make me feel like I was doing something positive for my body, acupuncture made me feel calm and rested – the two words I had not experienced on my IVF […]

Hand up 🙋🏽‍♀️ if you have damp? My hands up hand up 😅

Traditional Tuesday. We can tell a lot by looking at your tongue Miley Cyrus.😄😆

👉A tongue with a thick coat like this is indicative of dampness! An accumulation of fluids in the body leads to a sticky coat on your tongue. Damp signs include foggy head, mucous, heaviness in the limbs and digestive sluggishness and bloating.

👉To reduce dampness in the body we usually advise reducing e damp producing foods such as dairy, sugar, wheat, greasy foods such as peanuts and excessive fruits. Also exercise may help resolve dampness!

🧐Do you think you might have damp? Ask your Chinese Medicine practitioner if you are not sure.

Some great tips if you are trying to conceive naturally or just interested in when you ovulate!

Some great tips if you are trying to conceive naturally or just interested in when you ovulate!

Welcome to Fertile Friday. Did you know that 75% of women don't know when they ovulate? 😲😲🤔🤔🤨

Don't worry we are here to help! 😊😊

#1
Ovulation Predictor Kits are commonly used so here is how to...These kits test the urine to detect surges in Luteinising hormone which occur 24 to 36 hours before an egg is released. If this method works for you it is one of the most useful and accurate ways of timing in*******se for conception. S*x in the days before ovulation is the most likely to end in a conception. This is because the s***m have time to traverse the va**na, cervix, uterus and the fallopian tube and lie in wait for the egg to arrive.

Some women prefer to use digital monitors and others like the simple and cheap p*e on a stick method (and buy them in bulk off the internet).

N.B. Women who drink a lot of water and have dilute urine sometimes find this method doesn't work so well. But testing the second-morning urine, after only one cup of tea, will usually solve this problem, and thepre-ovulationn hormone surge shows up clearly.

#2 The position of the Cervix changes as you near ovulation.
It becomes softer (like your ear lobe), higher, more open and moist. Before and after ovulation it is lower and easier to feel, harder (like the tip of your nose) closed and not so wet.

#3 Checking your cervical gland secretions. Like testing the LH surge, this is a useful ovulation sign because it tells you are going to ovulate and lets you know the ideal time to have s*x. Once the va**nal secretions become more slippery and stretchy its a sign that a follicle is getting ripe and ready to ovulate. This fertile mucus is also useful at helping the s***m to navigate the cervix. At the most fertile time of the cycle the strands in the cervical secretions line up and the s***m can traverse the cervix more easily. Once ovulation has occurred the va**nal discharge becomes drier and this is sign that the s***m can no longer pass through the cervix (and you can have a rest!)

#4 Taking your Basal Body temperature.
This is a useful tool for discovering when you ovulate and also for seeing how well you ovulate.
You take your temperature before you get out of bed each morning (after at least 3 or 4 hours of sleep)and record it on a graph or in an App.Once your body starts to produce progesterone (when your egg is ready to be released and even more after its release) your BBT will rise. How steady and reliable this rise is, and how it is maintained gives the TCM doctor some useful information that may change the treatment you receive

#5
Symptoms of ovulation are usually those of increasing oestrogen levels. There is a surge of oestrogen just prior to the LH surge, as the ripening follicle produces peak levels.

Many women feel nothing at the time of ovulation but those who are sensitive to oestrogen might notice some transient ni**le or breast tenderness, mild cramping or twinges in the lower abdomen centrally or one side, and maybe some fatigue or irritability.

We hope these tips help. If you are still not sure speak to your TCM practitioner who may help you decode the above methods to help you get to know when know are ovulating. Also, we suggest you speak to your GP who can discuss Ovulation tracking options.
