Question
Hi Heather,
I have an accupuncturist in Nashville, but he doesn't speciallize in the Fertillity aspect of TCM. Currently I am about to go under FSH fertillity drugs probabally next cycle. Are you experienced in this area at all?
Hi Amy,
I have had a handful of patients that underwent FSH therapy. Acupuncture therapy during these treatments seemed to help. They were able to deal with the side effects of Follicle Stimulating hormone better and they we able to successfully retrieve eggs and successfully implant and get pregnant. Your acupuncturist should be working and the Chong Mai and the Ren Mai. He should still be treating your underlying pattern. He will know these things. There are herbs to take at different times of the cycle. Most fertility doc's don't like to work with herbs because they are an unknown variables. They want you very scheduled and they don't want any variables.
Hope this helps,
Heather Vandeburg LAc MSOM
