There are many factors contributing to the high rates of infertility among men and women today. What research is showing is that after years, potentially decades on the Oral Contraceptive Pill [OCP], ovulation and the associated cascade of hormones that you would expect are not returning in balance, making it very difficult for our couples to conceive.  As a generation it is fairly uncommon to find women who have not had some kind of OCP use, symptoms such as poor-quality cervical mucus, a luteal phase defect, or simply low progesterone and hormone imbalance.  Our ever increasingly toxic environment has a large role to play, ranging from blue light exposure, to heavy metals, xenoestrogen overload (a hormone disrupting issue affecting the entire population) and exposure to harmful chemicals.  PCOS, endometriosis, high sugar inflammatory diets and later age of trying to conceive are all factors contributing to the increased difficulty in falling pregnant.

​

We are also finding that men make up a large percentage of our infertility cases.  Of all infertility cases worldwide, approximately 40–50% is due to the “male factor”. much research is underway on the central causes, however the emerging factors of lifestyle and genetics are commonly accepted contributors. Homeopathy offers a holistic approach to male infertility, not just treating the 'sperm' but treating the 'man'.  As we heal the man, the sperm will also naturally improve.  A semen analysis is commonplace for most infertile couples, while useful it is not particularly required with homeopathic treatment.  A research trial of 45 sub-fertile men showed that homeopathy improved sperm count, motility and morphology. A great number of men may also experience sexual anxiety made worse by the fact a succsessful pregnancy hasn't been achieved.  Such layers are treated well with homeopathic prescribing, often allowing the couple to finally relax.
