Fertility & Reproductive Health

Chinese medicine has been successfully addressing women’s health issues for thousands of years — including issues related to fertility.

At The Origin Center we specialize in women’s health and we understand how a woman’s body functions. An optimally functioning body is the foundation of fertility—it is what leads to conception and a healthy, full-term pregnancy. Many fertility issues—even cases of “unexplained infertility” — can be treated successfully using the principles and tools of Chinese medicine.

Natural Conception Support

We welcome women and partners in all stages of their reproductive journey. Whether you’ve just started trying to get pregnant, have tried unsuccessfully for some time already, or are just beginning to think about trying, we can help — and we have a program designed just for you.

Our unique combination of tools will help regulate and support your endocrine, nervous, and circulatory systems to optimize the possibility of a successful pregnancy — no matter where you are in the process. 

As we said above, optimized fertility is a byproduct of optimized health, and our goal is always to optimize your WHOLE health, not to simply force a change on a singular aspect of your system. As we do so, we often remedy specific conditions that may be interfering with your fertility, including:

• Irregular menstrual cycles

• Endometriosis and uterine fibroids

• Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)

• Poor ovarian reserve

• High FSH

• Amenorrhea (no period)

• Anovulation (no ovulation and lack of menstrual periods)

• Thin endometrial lining

• Premature Ovarian Failure (POF)

• Luteal phase defect

• Hormonal imbalance

• Unexplained infertility

• Recurrent miscarriage

• Advanced maternal age

• Immunologic conditions

• Stress, anxiety, and depression

Our personalized fertility programs include:

Depth

We take the time to get to know you and treat you as a person, not a diagnosis, identifying your unique fertility needs.

Specificity & Individuation

We adapt treatments throughout the month to support the phases of your cycle, and over time to address your changing interior landscape.

Holism

We treat your whole body to prepare it for pregnancy; optimal fertility is an outgrowth of optimal health.

Integration & Partnership

We happily coordinate care with your reproductive endocrinologist (RE) or OB/GYN.

Accountability

We set goals and keep them updated so you always have a realistic idea of what we expect to achieve and when.

Male Reproductive Health

We don’t talk about it much, but male factor issues are responsible for 40-50% of all infertility cases.  As in other realms of reproductive health care, Chinese medicine has effective, individualized treatments to address a variety of male factor issues including:

• Low sperm count

• Low sperm motility

• Problems with morphology

We can also address libido, erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, prostatitis, and other issues that may be affecting male fertility or sexual health.  Women are often the partner that finds and begins working with us, but in many cases of infertility it’s worth having the male partner in for a full Chinese medicine evaluation, as well.

ART / IVF

Many of our patients are looking to enhance their fertility naturally, but others are interested in enhancing the effects of their Western fertility treatments, such as IVF, IUI, egg freezing, or donor transfers.  Click here to learn about the ways we can help you with ART (Assisted Reproductive Technologies).
