Preparation for IVF/IUI or IVF Success with Ayurveda

Ayurveda over IVF/ Invitro Fertilization

As we all can see many people are rushing to IVF centres for infertility issues now a days..But they don't realise that In-Vitro-Fertilization or IVF cannot be a substitute to poor egg quality, sperm quality, cellular health and female reproductive system.

 

IUI means Intra Uterine Insemination. A procedure in which a fine catheter (tube) is inserted through the cervix (the natural opening of the uterus) into the uterus (the womb) to deposit a sperm sample directly into the uterus. IVF means In Vitro Fertilization i. e. the process of fertilization takes place artificially, outside the uterus. Then the formed embryo is transferred in patient’s uterus. But the main part of success of IUI or IVF totally depends upon actual implantation of the embryo in the endometrium as implantation in endometrium completes the process of conception. 

It is always best to begin any journey toward conception with a Fertility Cleanse. Hormonal support comes from nourishing herbs for the endocrine system; aiding in balancing hormonal levels. The herbal blends also increase circulation to reproductive system while supporting healthy libido.

To increase your IVF success rate, follow this three step strategy.

STEP ONE – CLEANSE OR DETOXIFICATION

To increase IVF success naturally, you need to lay the groundwork for a successful conception. To a large extent, the success of an IVF procedure depends on healthy eggs and proper implantation of the embryo.

According to ayurveda, embryo means a combination of ovum, sperm, and the soul. To achieve this combination, the couple should be purified by Pancha Karma treatment before conception. We called this, as Beejshudhhi and Sthanshudhhi. In this procedure, ovum, sperm and uterus are get purified by Panchakarma treatment. These procedures will enhance the chances of implantation of embryo in the endometrium. We advice the patient to undergo Panchakarma treatment before IUI, IVF procedures.

The detoxification process is also recommended on a yearly basis to all the healthy individuals too as a disease prevention and health maintenance strategy.

STEP TWO – NOURISHMENT :

After completing detoxification you will focus on providing your eggs with the nourishment which they need and on preparing your uterine lining for implantation. These are two things which we can have a lot of control over. This step is done through diet in conjunction with herbs.

The Fertility Diet- A few months before your IVF, begin eating a fertility diet. Getting nutrient dense foods is vital to producing healthy eggs and promoting implantation of the embryo

  • Whole grains Dairy proteins, including milk, lassi (buttermilk), and panir (fresh cheese made of milk)
