why that 120 days before your next cycle is so important

You’ve had a failed IVF cycle or FET, and your next thought is “ when can we go again” when it should be why was not successful and what can we do.

 YOU CAN PAUSE ✋🏾
🌟You can stop and take sometime,”120 days “before your next cycle to improve egg and s***m quality and improve the uterine environment too.

🌟Check out and work on the following:
thyroid
inflammation
insulin resistance
nutrient levels
mitochondrial health.

🌟Consider further testing for both of you where necessary:
Vaginal/uterine microbiome
semen microbiome
DNA fragmentation test
Endosure for endometriosis


⏰I know you think you might be wasting precious time, but investigating why, could save you time, money and heartache

One well-prepared cycle often outperforms three rushed ones done back to back without investigation.

Often my patients with multiple failed cycles go on to conceive, even naturally, after working with me.

🌟So let’s get started, you can book a free 15 minute discovery call with me to understand how I work or if you want to get started asap you can book an online fertility review consultation . The links in the bio

It’s not just about the needles. As a fertility acupuncturist I do so much more. I encourage my patients to be investigated thoroughly, refer them to our network of practitioners if necessary, educate them about their fertility, enable them to advocate for themselves and support them through this complex journey. If I’m not sure about something I have a team of fertility practitioners that can help.

Mitochondria the power house in your eggs and s***m,You may remember this from school in science in relation to energy production and ATP!🧐

Mitochondria specialized organelles found in the cytoplasm  cells,(except red blood cells) acting as the “powerhouses” by generating most of the cell’s supply of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). They produce this energy by
breaking down nutrients  and oxygen to power biochemical reaction in the body.

It just so happens the mature human egg (oocyte) has the highest number of mitochondria per cell compared to any other cell in the human body.
estimated to be between 100,000 and 600,000 mitochondria.
So any thing that helps their function is welcome for egg quality

Key Reasons for High Mitochondrial Count in Eggs:
• Energy for Development: The egg requires immense energy to support maturation, fertilization, and the rapid cell divisions of the early embryo before implantation.
• Maternal Inheritance: Mitochondria are inherited exclusively from the mother. The egg must supply all the mitochondria for the developing embryo, as paternal mitochondria from the s***m are typically destroyed after fertilization.
• 
That’s enough science 🧬
Other stuff that can help mitochondria and egg and s***m quality:

Key Nutrients for Mitochondria
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10): Crucial for energy production.
Magnesium: Essential for ATP (energy) production and mitochondrial repair.
B Vitamins: Especially B3, which is required for producing NAD+.
Precursors to NAD such NMN
Antioxidants: Vitamin C, Vitamin E, glutathione, and Selenium protect mitochondria from oxidative damage.
Healthy Fats: Omega-3 fatty acids from fish, avocados, and oils provide efficient fuel and keep membranes flexible.
Lifestyle Habits
Regular Exercise
Diet Quality: Focus on whole, plant-based foods, healthy fats and quality protein.
Stress Management: High cortisol levels can harm mitochondrial function.
Sleep : 7-8 hours with regular bedtime

I’m seeing so much imbalance of the reproductive microbiome of patients with implantation failure or “unexplained “ infertility that I’m convinced that testing should be part of fertility workup.I usually recommend They test vaginal , uterine & seminal microbiome I have 5% discount code. THEFERTILITYSHOP. There is no financial incentive for me .I just think they are great company for this testing

Men are 50% of the fertility equation. Working with a fertility acupuncturist can help improve s***m morphology, motility and count.
It takes a minimum of 10 to 12 weeks to see the changes.

Could implantation failure be the reason why you’re not getting pregnant?

Finding out whats stopping you from getting pregnant can be tricky, and implantation failure is often the last thing suspected
especially when you’re trying conceive naturally.
Even in IVF implantation rate for a single euploid (chromosomally normal) 30% to 40% don’t implant

Below are some of the reasons for poor endometrial receptivity and implantation failure.
The tricky thing is MANY of these issues can remain undiagnosed for years.

1. Uterine structural issues
2. The thickness of the lining before ovulation
3. Hormone imbalances 
4. Immune factors
5. Inflammation and insulin resistance
6. Adenomyosis and endometriosis
7. Microbiome imbalances and bacterial overgrowth

It can be difficult to work out alone which one could be relevant to you, if you would like to work with me and to find out what issue could be stopping you from getting pregnant BOOK your a free 15 discovery call . Link in the bio

This is what could be stopping you from conceiving. An imbalance between the healthy bacteria,lactobacillous and the pathogenic . The lactobacillous keep the pathogenic bacteria in check, to reduce inflammation and support implantation happening.

This is why I always recommend my patients test their vaginal and or uterine microbiome and sometimes the seminal one too . Whether you’re try naturally or IVF

You can’t guess , you have to tested

Most people with insulin resistance, usually still have normal glucose levels because the body keeps the blood glucose normal by producing more insulin.
Most Fertility doctors do not test insulin levels,they only test glucose levels .
So it easy for insulin resistance to go unchecked for long time causing mischief with Fertility. Leading to increased inflammation, oxidative stress and hormones imbalances ,resulting in poor egg ,s***m embryo quality and poor uterine receptivity and increased miscarriage risk and pregnancy issues

Let’s talk about what a light period might be telling you about your fertility. 🩸✨

If your bleed is less than 3 days or you’re only using 2–3 pads or tampons a day, it might be a sign that your body needs more support.

Here’s what a light period can signal:
🧬 Your uterine lining may be too thin for implantation
🥦 You might not be eating—or absorbing—enough nutrients
🩸 Oestrogen could be too low (which often leads to higher FSH)
💔 Egg development may be compromised due to poor blood flow ( the follicle/egg produces the oestrogen which builds the uterine lining)


Great news! these can be addressed with lifestyle changes , nutrition and acupuncture. Book your free 15 minute discovery call ,link in the bio
