For many of us, having a child is the most creative and important thing we can do in our lives. Its one of the most natural as well. The desire to reproduce is, after all, one of our strongest sub-conscious drives. But even though the process is as natural as can be, you may be surprised at how much control we have over its outcome. Knowledge, as they say, is power, and there are so many things we know these days about how human reproduction works, and the many and various factors that influence it, which we can use to improve every aspect of the process and its outcome. Fertility, conception, pregnancy and birth are whole body events, and the unrivalled success of our clinic suggests that an integrated, holistic approach to preparing for them - combining the best of orthodox medicine with an equal focus on the whole person and their lifestyle - can pay dividends. We firmly believe that the best results come from considering both partners health and wellness in the round, and not just the mechanics of reproduction - important though they are. And that the more the human body is in balance - physically, nutritionally, and emotionally - the better the reproductive process is likely to work and the better the outcome is likely to be. Using these methods we help hundreds of couples each year to get pregnant, whove previously tried for months and years without success, and hundreds more, who are already pregnant, to have the best possible pregnancy and birth and the healthiest and brightest baby they can. Weve years of experience to offer in how to prepare the body for IVF too, all of which can help improve the chances of success, as well as in helping to overcome the problem of recurrent miscarriage. The human body is a sensitive and complex organism, especially when it comes to reproduction. Small differences in our reproductive status at each stage of the process can lead to problems, or benefits, later on. A multiplicity of factors, such as lifestyle, nutrition, weight, fitness, stress-levels, hormonal balance, and emotional and psychological well-being, all have a role to play. Its obviously sensible to be sure that they are all working in your favour, if you can. But dont worry, this doesnt involve signing up for some endless series of consultations and treatments! For some couples, a single Fertility Check or Pregnancy Check with one of our consultant midwives, or our fertility nurse, may be all youll need to understand where you are now and how to get where you want to. Alternatively, you may prefer to use our fabulous team of specialists to help make some or all of the recommended changes and improvements for you. The choice, as always, is yours. Either way, after your first consultation, youll leave the clinic with a clearer picture not only of your current reproductive status, but a personalised and focussed plan of action too. Based on your answers to our uniquely comprehensive Five Star questionnaire we will review, in depth, each of the five main areas we have found to be the most influential in determining the prospects for fertility and pregnancy (General Health & Fitness; Reproductive Health; Nutritional Health; Psychological and Emotional Health; and Stress) identifying problem, or potential problem areas, if there are any, and areas for improvement (which there nearly always are!). In some cases we may need to refer you for further medical tests or investigations, all of which we can organise for you, if you like, with our own team of gynaecologists or our sperm specialist. If you are one those couples who already have your planning and preparation under control (well done) but just want to book in for some medical advice or a specific complementary treatment, we are happy to help here too. We like to think we have assembled a team of the finest specialists there are in fertility and pregnancy, and no matter where you start or stop in using our range of services, you can have the reassurance of knowing that there will always be someone on hand to answer any questions, or address any issues, that may arise. However much or little you use us, were here to support you every step of the way.
