Fertility Consultation: for couples trying to conceive (TTC) naturally
This option is suitable for couples who would like to conceive naturally and would like to optimize their health for a healthy pregnancy or who have been trying to conceive but with no outcome.
Which Conditions cause infertility and can be treated by a homeopath?
In women: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis (stage 1, 2), fibroids,hormonal imbalance, irregular menstrual cycles, ovulatory disorders/ absent or irregular ovulation, secondary amenorrhea, recurrent miscarriage, thin endometrial lining.
In men: Low sperm
count (oligospermia) or too many abnormal morphological forms (teratozoospermia).
Step 1: Consultation
What to expect from the consultation:
- Initial discussion regarding when conception would like to take place in couples who have not started TTC or what treatment/s have already been done for infertility.
- Assessment of menstrual history and current menstruation patterns.
- Overview on supplementation – good quality prenatal vitamins and supplements are recommended for both partners. The treatment of infertility must start primarily with optimizing health in the couple, and for this, a healthy lifestyle is advised for up to 3 months prior to conception.
- Dietary changes and exclusions advised to optimize hormonal health.
- At the end of this consultation, I will discuss the treatment plan.
By treating the underlying condition, the couple can be shifted from being sub-fertile to fertile, and thus are able to conceive naturally. The term ‘sub-fertile’ refers to couples who are unable to achieve conception after a year of unprotected intercourse (or 6 months if the woman is over the age of 35).
Step 2: Blood Tests and Pelvic Ultrasound
- Blood tests for female hormones, thyroid profile and antibodies, fasting glucose and insulin, vitamin D, iron profile, AMH and full blood count will be sent for. Any additional tests may be added depending on the case.
- In some instances, a semen analysis may be requested.
- Pelvic ultrasound (conducted at my practice).
Step 3: Medication
Will be a combination of homeopathic medicine compounded specifically for the patient based on the consult, biopuncture, nutraceuticals and vitamins depending on the condition/s being treated.
Desired outcome of Homeopathic Fertility Treatment:
- For females: to balance and regulate hormones; enhanceovulation and AMH levels.
- For males: to increase sperm count and motility; enhance morphology.
Thus increasing the chances of natural conception to take place or if a couple is preparing for assisted fertility treatment such as IUI or IVF. Since infertility also has an emotional impact on patients, homeopathy can help alleviate the stress and anxiety associated with trying to conceive. It is advisable that both partners are involved in the consultation process to achieve the best possible results.
Step 4: Biopuncture – Homeopathic Coenzyme Injections
Biopuncture is a method of administering homeopathic medication directly to the affected area. This therapy helps speed up the healing process depending on the case at hand. Read more on Biopuncture in the Services tab.
These injections form part of the Fertility Program. They would need to be administered any time between day 7 and 13 of the menstrual cycle.
Why CoQ10 for infertility?

- Help with age-related infertility (Low AMH levels) by restoring the function of the ovaries and increasing ovarian response
- Improves embryo quality, increasing chances of implantation.
