We believe that women should monitor their body temperature in order to know when they start to ovulate. This is the best time for a couple to make love because this time is known to be the most fertile for women to conceive. Now that you know that waiting for ovulation period is important, the next step is to identify when you will be ovulating.
Here are some of the signs:
The duration of ovulation is usually between 6 to 12 hours. If you are still unsure, it is also good to check with ovulation pee sticks or other fertility testing methods.
1. Maintaining a regular menstrual cycle.
Acupuncture can increase the flow in the pelvic area and therefore eliminating any blockages and improve hormone imbalances. The hormone imbalances can result in stress, endometriosis as well as irregular menstrual cycle. Eliminating this issue can improve the chance of being fertile.
2. Improving well-being and overall health for men and women.
Since the blood flow has increased by stimulating through acupuncture, automatically the body can get better nourishment. The blood carries nutrients such as sugar, oxygen and hormones. When the blood circulation is enhanced, the vital functions also become better and hence, improve the couples\' ability to conceive.
3. Strengthening the uterus lining by stimulating the blood flow to the uterus, enhance the possibility of conception.
This is also important for women who are in the first trimester, as it will reduce the chance of miscarriages. Therefore, acupuncture is necessary for the first trimester not only during the process of conception to achieve natural fertility, but to ensure the health of baby and mother throughout pregnancy.
4. Acupuncture combined with Chinese Herbal medicine (TCM), can give nourishment for both the fetus and women who try to conceive
Chinese herbal medicine (TCM) can stimulate blood flow in the pelvic region and also improve vital organ function. By combining acupuncture and TCM, couples have a higher chance to conceive.
5. Acupuncture could manage symptoms of Endometriosis and increase the chance of conceiving
Endometriosis is a condition where the blood does not flow to the areas it should be. The professional acupuncturist is able to points to areas of the body where blood flow in the pelvic region can be improved. Therefore, nourishes them with the correct amount of hormones, oxygen and nutrients.
6. Balance the hormone and release endorphin levels, reducing stress and increase the level of happiness.
The levels of testosterone in women need to be reduced if a woman is trying to conceive. Acupuncture can assist by regulating hormone imbalances and reduce testosterone level.
Not only the level of testosterone reduce, but the endorphin levels also released; which results in less stress and increasing the ability to conceive.
7. Increase the quality and quantity of sperms
Over the past decade, the quality of sperms in men is reduced due to stress, imbalance hormones and other factors. Therefore, it is necessary for men to do acupuncture as it will impact the couple to conceive. According to research, men who received regular acupuncture (2 times a week) have a better quality of sperms and increase the quantity as well. Hence, there is a higher chance of conception for couples who would like to have a baby.
According to Dr Kenneth Snell from IVF Acupuncture Clinic in NSW, said that out of the women who received acupuncture regularly 70.8% of them conceived naturally. Not only that, but he also said that 72% of them were aged between 30 to 40 years old. Therefore, do not lose hope if you already over 30 or 35 and has not been pregnant yet, there is still a chance for you to conceive naturally with help from your fertility doctor.
