How to Increase Your IVF Success Rate Naturally
 |
| Preparing for your IVF may help to increase your chances of success. |
Do you know that there are natural remedies that can help you prepare for your IVF fertility journey? In this guide I will share with you the natural remedies that help to increase your egg health and aid the IVF process.
A note before we begin. Any of the supplements or herbs talked about in this guide should not be taken while you are on any IVF medications. This program should be completed before you begin your medications. Ideally, give yourself 90 days to prepare with these supplements and the fertility diet before beginning your IVF medications or treatments.
To increase IVF success rates naturally, you will need to take a 3 step approach.
Cleanse
Cleansing is the first part of the program, consisting of clearing out the body of toxins, excess hormones, and old tissues.
Nourish
The second part of the program focuses on nourishing the eggs and preparing the uterus for implantation.
Nurture
The final part of the program contains therapies specific for the IVF procedure.
Step One – Cleanse and Oxygenate

| You can have an impact on the health of your eggs. |
In order to increase IVF success rates naturally, you will need to prepare ahead of time. And since much of the success of an IVF cycle is dependent on healthy eggs and proper implantation of the embryo that is what this guide will focus on. But here is the catch…
The life cycle of an egg is 90 days. This is the period of time during the eggs journey when what you eat, drink, ingest, breathe, your stress levels, and the health of your blood flow will all have an effect on the health of that egg. So what you eat today is impacting the egg you will ovulate or have “harvested” three months from now. So for best results prepare 90 days out.
In step one you will clear the body of old toxins and excess hormones before you begin adding nourishing nutrients and herbs back in to the body in. This part of the cycle includes:
Fertility Cleansing
The Fertility Cleanse helps to cleanse the liver of excess hormones and toxins. It also helps to cleanse the uterus of stagnant blood and old tissues. You begin the cleanse the day after your period has ended.

The Fertility Cleanse Guide was created to help you follow your fertility cleanse. You can download the guide and the 7 Day Cleansing eCourse for FREE below.Self Fertility Massage
Self Fertility Massage™ is a series of massage techniques that are used to help support reproductive health, the menstrual cycle, and your fertility. I created this natural fertility therapy to help women apply the fertility massage techniques for themselves.
Self Fertility Massage™ is a very effective and low cost way to boost your fertility naturally and help reduce the effects of fertility issues on your body.
Self Fertility Massage helps you to prepare for your IVF by:
Increasing circulation to the eggs and uterus*
Helps to reduces stress*
Brings fresh oxygenated blood to the uterus and ovaries*
Supporting hormone balance*
Promoting egg health*
Step Two – Nourish
After you have cleansed the next step is to focus on nourishing the eggs and preparing the lining of the uterus. This will be done through supplements, herbs, and diet.
Eat a Fertility Diet
Make sure you are eating a fertility diet for at least 2-3 months before your IVF. Eating nutrient dense foods is important for healthy eggs and a healthy attachment of the embryo.
Take a Multivitamin
A major part of increasing egg health and preparing the uterine lining is to take a prenatal multivitamin. Making sure your body has all of the nutrients necessary is much easier when you are taking a multivitamin. My favorite is the 100% whole food Baby and Me from Mega Food. Synthetic multivitamins won’t have the same effect.
Use Supporting Supplements
Network Antioxidants
Antioxidants are one of the most important components to having healthy fertility that every woman and man needs to focus on. Antioxidants help to protect the egg and sperm from free radical damage. Free radicals are able to damage both cell health and the cell’s DNA. The ovum (egg) are one of the longest living cells in your body, as the years pass they become exposed and vulnerable to free radicals on daily basis. This adds up. Network Antioxidants was created by Dr. Lester Packer, the leading antioxidant expert in the United States. It contains all of the most important antioxidant nutrients in a capsule form which you can take one capsule, twice a day. This blend is great for both men and women and should be a part of everyone’s health program, especially for egg health.
L-Arginine
L-arginine is an amino acid that has been shown to increase ovarian response, endometrial receptivity, and pregnancy rates in IVF patients who supplemented in large doses (16 grams) of L-arginine. (Published in Human Reproduction 1999).
Use Fertility Superfoods
Fertility superfoods are extremely nutrient dense and deliver therapeutic benefits every time you take them. One of my favorite ways to take fertility superfoods is to put them all in a fertility smoothie.
Maca
Maca is an incredible fertility super food. It helps to balance the hormones, but does not contain any hormones itself. Maca is able to do this by nourishing and balancing the endocrine system. This is essential in preparing for IVF success because healthy hormonal balance contributes to healthier eggs.

Royal jelly/propolis
Royal jelly and bee propolis are both super foods which help to increase the egg quality and quantities.
Royal jelly is the food that only the queen bee eats. What makes a queen bee the queen is eating royal jelly exclusively. She was an ordinary bee and then she was chosen and fed royal jelly and became the queen bee who lays up to 2000 eggs a day. It should be taken for at least two months before IVF procedures begin.
Royal jelly is the Queen bee’s equivalent of hormonal stimulation. Take daily for best results.
Caution:: If you are allergic or think you are allergic to bee’s or bee products, do not take royal jelly or bee propolis.
Step Three – Nurture
The third part of this program involves two therapies that have been shown to increase IVF success. These therapies are used closer to the time of the procedure, and then again directly afterward.
Acupuncture and IVF
In a recent study the researchers found that women who underwent Acupuncture within 1 day after embryo transfer had their success rate increased by 65%, in comparison with those who had no acupuncture or fake acupuncture.
To increase your chances even more, make sure to seek out your acupuncturist well before your procedure so they are “on call” for after the procedure, timing is crucial for this one.
Hypnosis
Hypnosis has also been shown to help increase IVF success rates. In a recent study, the women who used hypnosis had double the pregnancy rate then the group of women who did not use hypnosis.
Using hypnosis to prepare for your IVF, during and after, may be one of the easiest treatments you can apply. You can purchase hypnosis CD’s specific for IVF which you can listen to on a daily basis, during your procedure and afterward for best results. Hypnosis also helps to calm the mind during this stressful time.
