Brides and Moms to Be!

February 24, 2014 By //  by Whitney Young, ND

Dr. Whitney and Dr. Kerri show off their new PCOS tea at the Bridal Show.
Dr. Whitney and Dr. Kerri show off their new PCOS tea at the Bridal Show.

We had a fun time at the Timpano Bridal show this past weekend meeting lots of brides, moms and even some future husbands! We thought it might be a unique way to reach out to women to let them know that we are experts in fertility and offer natural solutions to improving PMS, irregular cycles and fertility. We polled the women and found out some interesting statistics about when they want to start trying to conceive.

Of the ones who said YES they are planning on starting a family:

  • 23% said they have already started
  • 12% want a honeymoon baby
  • 23% said they plan to start trying 6-12 months after the wedding
  • 42% were other – 1-2 years after the wedding or unsure

Infertility – How men can support their partners through communicating, getting involved and making dinner!

January 22, 2014 By //  by Whitney Young, ND

OK Men, this one’s for you

Communicate Openly

This is a very emotional and stressful time for you both. There is no right or wrong way to feel. Discuss openly how you are both feeling and recognize there are going to be differences. Find out what you both need during this time and help to meet those needs.  Counselling can make a big difference here so that you can both express yourselves and have someone to help sift through it all.  You can be the one to suggest that the two of you see someone.

Make your swimmers stronger

Even if you haven’t started any infertility treatment there are things you can do to help improve your sperm quality. By showing that you are actively involved to improve your chances of conception, your partner will feel less alone during the process. Some things that may reduce sperm number or quality include:

  • Alcohol
  • Drugs (even just marijuana)
  • Smoking
  • Environmental toxins like pesticides and chemicals

Stress management

An increasing amount of research is showing that high amounts of stress get in the way of successful conception. One study in particular found that women with the highest amount of stress, produced 20% fewer follicles. So, as her partner you can help to reduce stress by helping to figure out her triggers, minimize them and work on coping strategies together.  This can be simple things like making dinner a few nights a week (without being asked), taking care of the dishes, or planning a weekend or evening away.  Ask her what would make the difference for her.

Fertility awareness tracking

Some partners get very involved in helping to track the woman’s cycle. They are helpful to remind her to take her temperature and pack the thermometer if going away for the weekend. They also help look at the charts after a cycle or two to help her figure out what’s going on.  Again, this isn’t her problem, it’s yours too.  Be involved in the process.

Not sure where to start?  Book your assessment and let us help.

Acupuncture is an ancient healing art used for a v Acupuncture is an ancient healing art used for a variety of conditions and situations in our modern world. It’s quite common for people to notice benefits like reduction of muscle pain. 

At our clinic I use acupuncture primarily for hormone regulation, infertility, and during pregnancies. 

There are acupuncture points on the body that have traditionally been used to help prepare for labour. In a recent journal review acupuncture was found to be of some benefit in improving cervical maturity.  I already knew this and have had lots of success. 

So, yes, it is a thing.
