Struggling with Diminished Ovarian Reserve? How CoQ10 May Help Beat the Odds
A Diminished Ovarian Reserve (DOR) diagnosis can feel overwhelming, often leading to poor responses to fertility medications and higher IVF cycle cancellations. While you can't turn back the clock on your ovaries, compelling new research shows you can support the eggs you have.
A recent meta-analysis of 1,529 participants found that women with DOR who pretreated with Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) experienced significantly higher clinical pregnancy rates, more high-quality embryos, and lower miscarriage rates. Because standard CoQ10 is notoriously difficult for the body to absorb, choosing a highly bioavailable formula like Theralogix NeoQ10—which utilizes patented VESIsorb® technology—ensures your body actually gets the cellular energy support it needs. Read on to discover how this simple addition to your preconception routine can help optimize your fertility journey.
Should I exercise during fertility treatment?
Can you keep your workout routine during fertility treatment? For years, 'bed rest' was the standard advice, but even as this has shifted, there is often one-size fits all advice. We’re diving into three recent studies that explore why moderate movement, proper fueling—and even vigorous exercise for some—is not only safe but potentially beneficial for your fertility journey.
Optimizing Male Fertility with Acupuncture
In fertility, the focus usually stays on the female partner—but male health matters just as much. In fact, it's a factor in about 40% of cases. Improving sperm health doesn't have to be complicated. From the "90-day rule" for sperm growth to how acupuncture and specific supplements help, we’re breaking down a straightforward plan to help you get results.
When should you start acupuncture for IVF?
"When it comes to fertility, we know that 'one size fits all' simply doesn’t work. Success in an IVF or FET cycle is often built in the weeks of preparation leading up to it—from respecting the 90-day egg maturation window to hitting the 'golden number' of treatments research shows leads to the highest pregnancy rates. Whether you are navigating diminished ovarian reserve or preparing for your first frozen embryo transfer, we’ve outlined our evidence-based timelines to help you feel confident, prepared, and optimized. Remember: it is never too late to support your cycle, and we are here to craft the plan that works for you."
TCM Style Acupuncture Performed Before and After Embryo Transfer Improves Pregnancy Rates
Conflicting evidence exists on whether acupuncture is beneficial for patients undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles. This retrospective cohort study was undertaken to determine whether a unique protocol of a combined Chinese and Japanese style on-site acupuncture, performed both before and after embryo transfer, affects clinical outcomes.
