Natural Fertility Treatment
According to a study published in 2023, 80% of respondents undergoing fertility treatment reported using at least one integrative medicine addition (acupuncture, TCM, supplements etc) to support their treatment.
The Natural Approach
At Demeter Fertility, we approach fertility treatment from a broad scope position, our bodies are one giant interconnected entity, egg and sperm cells make up one part of the puzzle. The uterus and hormone balance is another, but our bodies are the biggest picture.Â
We work with patients to test and treat more than just pieces of our puzzle but rather the whole picture. We don’t ask you to go away and fix this or take some time to work on that before starting treatments, we work with you directly to develop personalised plans beyond fertility treatment to help get your whole mind and body in a place to allow for the best outcomes on your fertility journey and life in general.
Programs to Support Your JourneyÂ
Â
Our lifestyle and health support programs and additional treatment options can include (but not limited to);
- Dietary changes and meal prep and tracking (we have recommended apps that feed into our health care systems)
- Exercise regimens, health tracking and specific areas to focus on (Vo2 max, zone 2, upper-body muscle mass etc.)
- Acupuncture and TCM pathways, we’ll even work with your naturopath if you have one
- Meditation and Mindfulness programs
- Vitamin and Supplement testing and recommendations tailored to you
What makes this approach so desirable for our patients is the flexibility it provides to undergoing treatment. No two patients and no two cases are the same, our doctors provide support not only where you may need it but also where you want it, completely tailored to your experiences and requirements.
Mild-Ovarian Stimulation
Â
In addition to our whole-body approach and general health testing and treatment options, doctors at Demeter Fertility prioritise low-dose hormone stimulation during treatment cycles.
Referred to as ‘mild-ovarian stimulation’ or MOS, Dr David Knight prisoneers this approach more than a decade ago. Off the back of significant research over many years, low-dose FSH has been shown to have higher live baby rates and better outcomes for egg quality.Â
Doctors at Demeter Fertility prioritised egg quality over quantity, to give patients the best opportunity to proceed to fertilisation, embryo transfer and a baby as well as reducing the risk of OHSS significantly.
