IVF failure - #4627

Namaste Sweths Ji,

To further support your fertility and address low AMH levels alongside IVF preparation or natural conception, here are additional Ayurvedic formulations and therapies:

Enhanced Herbal Medications: Chandraprabha Vati: 1 tablet twice daily to strengthen reproductive health and balance hormones. Phala Ghrita: 1 tsp with warm milk on an empty stomach, acts as a uterine tonic and supports ovarian health. Punarnavadi Kashayam: 15 ml with warm water twice daily for detoxification and improved circulation to reproductive organs. Yashtimadhu Churna (Licorice): 1/2 tsp with honey and warm water daily for hormonal balance. Vasant Kusumakar Ras: A classical formulation to enhance vitality and reproductive health, taken under supervision (1 tablet once daily). Additional Therapies for Productivity: Nasya Therapy: Use of medicated oils like Shatavari or Anu Taila to reduce stress and improve hormonal function. Abhyanga with Ashwagandha Taila: Full-body massage to reduce Vata dosha, improve blood flow, and enhance fertility. Basti Karma (Enema Therapy): Particularly using herbal oils like Dashmooladi Taila for cleansing and nourishing the reproductive system. Supportive Diet and Lifestyle: Herbal Decoction: Boil Shatavari, Guduchi, and Ashwagandha roots in water, strain, and drink daily to improve oocyte quality. Milk Infusions: Add a pinch of saffron, cardamom, and dry fruits like dates to warm milk for nourishment. Avoid Cold Foods: Stay away from refrigerated items, raw foods, and heavy-to-digest meals. Mental Wellbeing: Daily meditation and chanting “Om” to reduce stress and improve emotional stability, critical for conception. These remedies, when ideally used under the guidance of an Ayurvedic gynaecologist, can significantly improve fertility and reproductive health.

It sounds like you’re going through a really tough time with this, and I’m sorry for the challenges you’re facing. With an AMH level of 0.744, it’s understandable that fertility might be a concern for you. Ayurveda, though not a substitute for medical interventions like IVF, may offer supportive measures to help balance your body and enhance your fertility.

In Ayurveda, fertility issues are often related to imbalances in the doshas, particularly Vata, because it governs the reproductive system. I’d suggest trying to pacify Vata. One way is through regular abhyanga, which is self-oil massage with warm sesame oil, that can be done at least 3-4 times a week. It’s grounding and can help calm the mind too.

Diet also plays a crucial role. Eating warm, nourishing foods that are easy to digest is vital. Think cooked veggies, grains like rice, and soupy preparations. Avoid raw and cold foods, as they can aggravate Vata. Incorporating spices like cumin, turmeric, and black pepper, which enhance digestion and balance doshas, may be beneficial.

Sometimes, stress plays a huge role in such conditions. The body needs to be in a state of relaxation to foster conception. Simple breathing exercises or gentle yoga, concentrating more on restorative poses, might help reduce stress and improve your body’s balance.

Do ensure that your digestive fire, or agni, is strong. Drinking a cup of warm water with a slice of ginger before meals might help. If you’re open to Ayurvedic herbs, ashwagandha and shatavari are traditionally thought to aid reproductive health, but consult with an herbalist before starting these.

Remember though, even as you explore Ayurveda, keep connecting with your fertility specialists. Integrating these practices with their guidance can be part of a comprehensive approach. Take good care and listen to your body’s signals along the way.
