Fertility Treatment
At Nest we support couples at all stages of their fertility journey, we are happy to treat you at any point along your journey and we begin the process with an in depth consultation where patients can feel heard and supported.
For women we may focus on regulating the menstrual cycle which is often called our ‘5th vital sign.’ It can be a key indicator to both hormonal and reproductive health. Hormonal imbalances can disrupt ovulation, acupuncture and reflexology are used to support hormone balance, blood circulation to the uterus, cycle regularity and stress regulation.
For men we work on optimising sperm quality, as research indicates average sperm counts have dropped by over 50% globally in the last few decades, accelerating in recent years.
Whether you are planning to start IVF or trying to conceive naturally, the three months leading up to treatment or conception are an important opportunity to optimise your fertility.
Both egg and sperm development take approximately 90 days. During this time, factors such as nutrition, stress, sleep, exercise, environmental exposures and overall health can influence the quality of the eggs and sperm that will be available for conception. By making positive changes during this window, you are supporting your bodies natural reproductive processes and creating the best possible foundation for pregnancy.
Our preconception program is designed to help improve your overall health and reproductive well being through personalised care.
Depending on your individual needs, this may include fertility acupuncture, moxa, cupping, reflexology lifestyle recommendations and stress management. Investing time in your preparation allows you to address factors that are within your control and approach conception or fertility treatment with the strongest possible foundation.
Fertility is a shared journey, and healthy conception depends on both egg and sperm quality. That’s why we recommend that both partners begin treatment and make positive lifestyle changes for at least three months before trying to conceive naturally or starting an IVF cycle.
Whatever your circumstances including donor conception you will be met with compassionate care.
