NATURAL FERTILITY & CHINESE MEDICINE FOR MELBOURNE WOMEN

At Dr Christine Cui's Natural Fertility Clinic, we support women to conceive naturally and recommend acupuncture as an adjunct treatment that may assist western medicine. By having regular Acupuncture therapy combined with Chinese herbal medicine and improving health behaviours, we are trying to promote general well-being that may prepare and support the body to conceive.  

Dr Christine Cui has a special interest in natural fertility care and promoting women’s well-being in conjunction with western medicine. There is continuing research on how acupuncture can assist with the effectiveness of western treatment, if you wish to know more please don't hesitate to contact us.

To achieve the best results with natural approaches to improving fertility, women should monitor their body temperature in order to know when they start to ovulate. A fertile period of time exists immediately overlapping with ovulation (24-48 hours before to 24-48 hours following). In other words, 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 and healthy sperm may effectively have an ovum to fertilise.

Now that you know that recognising the ovulation time period is important, the next step is to identify when you will be ovulating confidently.

How do you know when you are ovulating?

Here are some of the physical signs:

• Mucus changes
• Vaginal Secretions of cervical fluid (ie. Increase stretchy fluid)
• Change in body temperature
• Change in sex hormones**

The duration of ovulation is usually between 6 to 12 hours. If you are still unsure, it is also good to check with ovulation urine test kits (**LH hormone urine screening) or other fertility testing methods.
