Acupuncture Infertility IVF
In our over 24 years of practicing TCM and applying its principle to treating infertility, we found that most hormonal inbalances which are considered untreatable by Western medicine respond to our TCM methods of treatment. Many patients came to us having been diagnosed with high FSH levels, luteal phase defect, polycystic ovarian syndrome, endometriosis, unexplained infertility and so on. Most of them have gone through months or years of trying to get pregnant using ART. And many of them are delighted to discover that after three to eight months of Chinese herbal remedy and acupuncture treatments that we prescribe, they become pregnant with no further effect.
Many hormonal problems occur because of slight imbalances in the endocrine system. Even a slight aberration can throw the entire system off so ti on longer functions smoothly. Not only the physical obstructions in the ovaries, fallopian tubes, or uterus and hormonal problems but also the levels of stress can make her have a minuscule chance of conceiving that month. TCM treatments are designed to stimulate the body's own natural productin of hormones while restoring the health and harmony of the entire system. Once the body is in balance and its hormones are restored, conception can occur.

The Ottawa Fertility Centre
In vitro fertilization (IVF) refers to the union of egg and sperm outside the body. In a broader sense, it is an assisted reproductive technology that offers hope to individuals and couples who are otherwise unable to conceive on their own. Since its development, millions of healthy children have been born worldwide as a result of IVF.
The physicians at the Ottawa Fertility Centre have extensive training and experience in reproductive surgery. We offer minimally invasive surgical procedures including hysteroscopy, laparoscopy and mini-incision techniques to reduce discomfort and recovery time. Our surgeons provide expertise in the treatment of fertility related conditions such as endometriosis, fibroids, uterine septum, Asherman's syndrome and tubal disease. Surgery is performed at the Ottawa Hospital.
For patients who have had their tubes 'tied' (tubal ligation surgery) it may be possible to restore fertility by reconnecting the fallopian tubes. One of the main predictors of pregnancy following this surgery is the original method of tubal ligation. The reversal procedure is performed under general anaesthesia, through a small bikini-line incision. After an overnight stay in hospital, patients go home the next day. Recovery time can vary.
