Natural Fertility Program

 

Begin your fertility journey with practitioners who care.

Most couples are empowered to know there is so much they can do to enhance their chances of fertility than what we are generally led to believe!

The journey of trying to conceive is an exciting time but can also be very stressful, especially with the overwhelming amount of information provided by the internet. When it comes to your fertility, a one size fits all approach is rarely the answer. Our program offers a customized plan built specifically for your needs.

Whether you are planning to conceive, have been trying, have been diagnosed with infertility, or have experienced pregnancy loss, our program can help optimize your chances of achieving and maintaining a healthy pregnancy.

There are many factors that can affect a couple’s fertility including hormone imbalances, thyroid function, blood sugar dysregulation, sleep disturbances, environmental toxins, nutrient deficiencies and so much more. Together, we will conduct a comprehensive intake and formulate an individualized plan with the least invasive yet most effective recommendations to address your needs.

The fertility program is designed for both male and female partners. In fact, it is encouraged for both partners to be evaluated and treated so that we can remove barriers to fertility and improve sperm and egg quality concurrently.

Together, we will help navigate your family’s journey, optimizing your chances of achieving the most healthy pregnancy.

Here’s how it works:

COMPREHENSIVE HORMONE ASSESSMENT

We will evaluate your hormonal health history, overall health including diet, stress levels, sleep, environmental exposures, current medications and supplements, to determine if there are any underlying factors that could be affecting your chances of conceiving. We will also collect an in-depth hormonal history. For women, this includes discussing your cycles, periods, fertile window and health of your vaginal microbiome. For men, this includes discussing testicular and urinary health.

LAB TESTING

This may include but is not limited to any of the following labs depending on your individual history  Be Well doctor will discuss whether or not she recommends any lab testing. Lab testing may be beneficial to pinpoint the root cause(s) of your period issues. Common lab tests we recommend:

HORMONE TESTING:

  • For female patients this may include: Evaluating for deficiency or excess of certain key hormones including LH, FSH, prolactin, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA; evaluating stress hormones including cortisol and DHEA. Evaluating ovarian reserve by measuring AMH (anti-mullerian hormone).

  • For male patients this may include: Semen analysis to assess sperm.

  • Hormone evaluation for men and women can be done through serum (blood) tests but more often is done through a combination of serum and DUTCH (dried urine) testing. The DUTCH test offers a unique opportunity to understand your sex and adrenal hormones in a much more in-depth way than what is conventionally offered. By observing how hormones are produced and metabolized, we are able to identify and explain hormone imbalances that would otherwise be overlooked with standard conventional testing. This allows us to be more targeted in our treatment approach and see results faster.

FOOD SENSITIVITY TESTING: to help with determining your customized nutrition plan which can help to optimize egg and sperm quality, balance hormones, and lower overall inflammation.

STOOL TESTING: to evaluate overall digestive function and gastrointestinal imbalances that may be contributing to inflammation, difficulty with eliminating toxins, and hormone imbalance.

YOUR FERTILITY PLAN

Your doctor will work with you to create an individualized treatment plan including nutritional recommendations, guidance on natural medicine approaches, limiting your exposure to harmful environmental toxins and endocrine disruptors and mental/ emotional support to eliminate any barriers to fertility.

DEDICATED SUPPORT FROM A DOCTOR WHOE UNDERSTANDS YOUR BODY

Dedicated support from a doctor who understands your body. Our program offers 1:1 visits with the same doctor each time. This provides a safe space to discuss your hopes, fears and questions about the process while working with someone dedicated to helping you achieve your fertility goals. Follow up visits are usually every 4-6 weeks.During these visits, your doctor will monitor your progress, answer any questions that have come up, review any newly completed lab results, and modify your Fertility Plan as necessary.

“I just wanted to thank you again for your help preparing my body and mind for conception and pregnancy. Our sweet daughter was born last weekend and I’ve never been happier. Thank you for the role you played in our journey!”
