Chinese Medicine for fertility

Many women have found their answer with traditional chinese medicine (TCM). Chinese herbs and acupuncture have been used for thousands of years and are still widely used today.


For me, chinese herbs have really helped getting my cycle back after it had stopped for several months.


In my little nutshell this what TCM can do for you: chinese herbs can help increase blood flow, increase estrogen, and encourage proper ovulation. Acupuncture increases blood flow to the pelvis, helps regulate the Hypothalamus-Pituitary-Ovarian axis, and reduces stress.


The first book I recommend is "The Infertility Cure" by Dr. Randine Lewis, (yes, she's also an M.D.).  Carefully, she lays out how TCM works, and includes a lot of good information on diet, supplements, and lifestyle. She herself had trouble getting pregnant, western medicine wasn't able to help her low hormonal problems and irregular cycles, so she turned to eastern medicine and found success. There is also a chapter dedicated to POF. It has loads of success stories in it of  women who were considered infertile by their western doctors, and there's a few specific success stories dealing with high FSH and diminished ovarian reserve. 
Dr. Randine Lewis also has a website The Fertile Soul worth a read. And there is a list of practitioners around the country who practice her method of treatment for fertility.


A website worth checking out, especially if you're in the L.A. area, is Dr. Daniel Lee, who seems to specialize in treating women with POF. Read some of those success stories!
A women in San Francisco, Angela Wu, has a practice in San Francisco, and her book "Fertility Wisdom" tells of a woman with an FSH over 100 getting pregnant. Her program is known to be very strict, and she's not cheap, but she boasts a 50% success, which is more than IVF does.
Just google TCM POF and if you have the patience to sift through it, you'll find loads of information and success stories out there.
These days, chances are, if you live near any major city, you have access to a good selection of chinese doctors. They specialize in different fields, so go with recommendations or the one most experienced with fertility.
If you're unsure, I think you have nothing to lose with TCM, maybe a bit of money, but it is really nothing when you think of what it can do in terms of turning your current state of health and fertility around.
