One of the most difficult parts of trying to conceive is having the patience to see it through until a positive outcome is achieved. Health professionals who treat infertility address this problem with their patients on a daily basis. Feelings of frustration are no doubt exacerbated by the fact that by the time most couples have sought treatment, they are already fed up with trying. Patients at the Fertility & IVF Acupuncture Clinic are encouraged to hold strong and press on with their treatment, for two main reasons. These include:
Time Needed To Correct An Imbalance
Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine are treatments which are designed to rectify energetic imbalances. This can take time. It is thought that the longer the energetic imbalance has been present, the more treatment will be required. Given these energetic imbalances often manifest as subclinical symptoms, most patients are unaware of how long the imbalance has been present. This can lead to an uncertain time horizon for treatment.
Probability Of Conception
Once the acupuncture and/or herbal medicine has reinstated an energetic balance, time is still required to conceive. A healthy woman has a one in five (20%) chance of falling pregnant in any given menstrual cycle. Despite being balanced and healthy, a run of unlucky probability may mean a positive pregnancy test may take time.
If you are having trouble conceiving and you would like to find out if acupuncture and/or Chinese Medicine could help, please phone Dr Kirk Wilson (PhD) on 9231 3377.
