Egg quality - what is it, and how can we improve it? 🤍✨

When we talk about fertility, egg quality is one of the most important factors. Put simply, egg quality refers to how healthy and viable a woman’s eggs are for fertilisation and embryo development. Strong, healthy eggs give the best chance of a successful pregnancy. 🌸

The good news? Egg quality can be supported and improved through lifestyle and holistic care.

✨ Ways to support egg quality:
• Balanced nutrition rich in antioxidants (think leafy greens, berries, nuts, seeds)
• Reducing stress levels to support hormonal balance
• Acupuncture to increase blood flow to the ovaries and improve ovarian function
• Supplements like CoQ10, Vitamin D and Omega-3s (always check with your doctor before starting)
• Prioritising good sleep and gentle movement

Every woman’s journey is unique, but small consistent changes can make a big difference in supporting your fertility. 💖

If you’re on this path and would like guidance, acupuncture can play a powerful role in helping to optimise your reproductive health. 🌷

Did you know acupuncture can help improve uterine lining thickness? 🌸

A healthy lining is essential for implantation, and acupuncture works by increasing blood flow to the uterus, creating a more receptive environment for an embryo.

This is why many women choose acupuncture in the lead-up to ovulation or IVF transfer, it’s a gentle yet powerful way to support your fertility journey 💛
