Trying to have a baby but feeling like you’re running out of time, have diminished ovarian reserve (DOR), PCOS, recurrent pregnancy loss, or poor sperm quality?
Check out the findings of these studies using Transcutaneous Electro-acupoint Stimulation (TEAS) used to boost fertility:
In IVF when TEAS was used, there were:
– 42% more clinical pregnancies
– 9% more quality embryos
– 45% fewer chemical pregnancies
– 42% more live births
In cases of PCOS:
TEAS reduced androgens (male hormones), improved sensitivity to insulin and sugar metabolism and reduced elevated AMH.
In cases of Male Factor:
TEAS increases sperm count and motility.
In Recurrent Implantation Failure:
TEAS improved uterine lining by making it more juicy, thick, trilaminar, and receptive for implantation.
Whether you are needle phobic, live in a rural area, or find it hard to commit to regular acupuncture treatments, TEAS machine is a viable, safe, and easy to use option. It’s essentially like getting needle-free acupuncture that uses electrical stimulation on sticky pads that get applied to acupuncture points on the skin.
But listen up, knowing what kind of machine to buy, where to put the electrodes, how to set up the machine, how frequently to use it and for how long is important. You will need guidance in the set-up and we can help!
