đż Before you spend another dollar on IVF, make sure your fertility foundations are actually supported.
Chinese medicine looks at WHY follicles donât grow, WHY hormones feel âoff,â and WHY implantation keeps failing â long before you ever start injections or pills.
Here are 5 fertility optimizers most women never hear about:
1ď¸âŁ Regulate Liver Qi
Stuck Qi = stuck pelvic blood flow. This slows follicle growth and disrupts estrogen. Acupuncture + herbs like Chai Hu + Xiang Fu help hormones communicate and improve circulation to the ovaries.
2ď¸âŁ Strengthen Kidney Jing
Jing is your reproductive battery life. When depleted (very common after 40), egg development struggles. Herbs like Shu Di, Gou Qi Zi, Tu Si Zi rebuild reserves.
3ď¸âŁ Warm the Uterus (Yang support)
Cold uterus patterns show up as cold hands/feet, long cycles, spotting, and low temps. A warm uterus implants better. We use moxa, warming foods, and Yang-tonifying herbs to build receptivity.
4ď¸âŁ Transform Dampness
Dampness = bloating, cysts, sluggish digestion, sticky mucus, slow follicle growth. Clearing Damp reduces inflammation, improves hormone signaling, and prevents ectopic pregnancy.
5ď¸âŁ Nourish Blood
Eggs canât mature without oxygen rich Blood. Signs of deficiency: fatigue, insomnia, light periods, dry hair/nails. Herbs like Dang Gui + Bai Shao and targeted foods rebuild the nutrients follicles need.
⨠IVF works better when your internal patterns are supported.
If youâre preparing for a cycle (or trying naturally), this is the work that changes outcomes.
