Having worked inside a fertility clinic, Dr. Samina has extensive training and knowledge regarding fertility treatments.
Having worked inside a fertility clinic, Dr. Samina has extensive training in the fertility clinic protocols. She assists patients all the time that are going through fertility treatments such as IUI, and IVF. There is a lot that naturopathic medicine can help with when it comes to getting pregnant alongside fertility clinic treatments such as diet, lifestyle counseling, supplementation, and more.
Dr. Samina is also trained in Traditional Chinese Medicine and provides fertility focused acupuncture treatments. Acupuncture has been shown to improve fertility success rates by 40-60% alongside IVF treatments. Acupuncture works by improving blood flow to the reproductive organs and calms the nervous system down – two important factors required when trying to conceive.
This really depends on the patient, however, keep in mind that it takes approximately 90 days for an egg to mature and 72 days for sperm to mature. Dr. Samina always recommends giving yourself at least 3 months to see improvements in hormones etc.
