THE TRUTH ABOUT INFERTILITY...

WHY YOU ARE INFERTILE WHILE OTHERS ARE NOT

HOW DID YOU BECOME INFERTILE?

Ovulation is often deemed to be the beginning of the fertility process. While it is essential, other parts of the reproductive system are just as vital. There is often much preparation needed to get the uterus, fallopian tubes and vaginal tract into a healthy condition. Each of these has an influence on the big picture of conception. While it is true that a healthy vaginal tract will show changes in the mucous consistency at ovulation, any vaginal discharge at anytime of the cycle can reveal a catarrhal condition inconsistent with conception. These discharges often vary in colour, consistency and duration. Sometimes they are symptomatic of other disorders such as thrush or sexually transmitted diseases. Failure of a post coital test (P.C.T.) is a definite indication that the vaginal environment is hostile, but other vaginal conditions such as consistency of mucous or nutrient content can be just as critical.

All being well in the vaginal tract and the cervix (tension in or displacement of the cervix can impair sperm progress), the uterus itself has a huge influence on one`s ability to conceive. This is the organ that prepares and stores the soil for planting and growing the foetus. (The quality of the soil you plant a seed in will affect the success of your garden, so too does the lining of the uterus influence the successful implantation, detection and development of a baby.) This progesterone sensitive lining is frequently found to need greater hormonal stimulation if it's to be suitable for supporting new life. A deficiency of progesterone following a successful pregnancy has frequently been the underlying cause of secondary infertility. Endometriosis, a disease associated with low progesterone to oestrogen ratios, is now common amongst those with fertility disorders. It often co-exists with infertility but is only occasionally the cause. The chemistry associated with endometriosis is similar to the type of imbalances found in infertility. Correcting these imbalances cannot only help improve endometriosis symptoms but at the same time can overcome the fertility hurdle. Fallopian tubes are covered in miniature hairs coated in a slimy mucous. The mucous is a food source and swimming environment for sperm and later assists the transit down the tube of the fertilized egg. Frequently, the consistency of this mucous becomes almost rubber like and so thick that it blocks the tubes preventing conception. Occasionally women with this problem have conceived following a dye test for tubal patency (H.S.G) because the dye, under pressure, has cleared the way. The consistency of this mucous is part of the bodies over all chemistry and is altered naturally given correct nutrition.

Geographically the bowel surrounds all of these organs mentioned and the ovaries, the uterus itself being next to the rectum. (The most frequently removed organs in the adult human body are the uterus and prostate, perhaps because of this unfortunate neighbour, the rectum.) A prolapse of the transverse portion of the large intestine puts pressure on the reproductive organs below. By decreasing the blood and oxygen flow these tissues weaken. Over a period of time a displacement or retroversion can occur resulting in gross structural changes. These changes, unless corrected, can be the underlying cause of a prolonged elusive conception.

Leaky Gut Syndrome, or autointoxication is one of the most common contributors to reproductive health disorders. This is a disease characterised by the seepage of infinitesimal amounts of toxic substances from the bowel into surrounding tissue. This poisoning can occur locally or systemically with toxins originating from gut fermentation, constantly bathing delicate ovarian or testicular cells. These cells, after many years, will slowly weaken and loose their ability to function adequately. There is no substitute for corrective health practices and proper bowel management in these cases. Proper circulation, oxygenation, elimination, messaging and nutrition are all essential components in the creation of a new life. All these elements must be in reasonable form if the process is to work. With ovarian tissue in the best possible condition, viable eggs are produced and released at the right time. Loss of ovulation can occur if other glands in the body responsible for messaging the ovaries fail to deliver correct hormones. Elevated FSH or prolactin levels or lowered LH or progesterone / oestrogen levels can cause a loss of ovulation and/or menstruation. Ovulation challenges can also occur when the ovary itself is unable to ripen or release an egg at a predictable time. Such is the case in polycystic ovary syndrome where the surface of the ovary is unable to burst correctly releasing the egg. The remaining unburst follicles gather in ever-growing numbers becoming follicular cysts.

Assuming that ovulation will occur, it is now essential that healthy sperm (according to the World Health Organizations "normal parameters") arrive during the eggs 12 -24 hour life span. The issues surrounding male infertility have been bypassed by mainstream medicine. They have preferred to take over the roll of delivering the sperm to the egg through mechanical intervention. While these scientific techniques are certainly amazing, they are often costly, invasive, and they do not allow the couple the opportunity of being able to conceive each month through normal intercourse. There are many possible causes for male infertility problems. The list may include antibody production, nutrient deficiencies, high toxin levels, by-products from gut fermentation, blocked tubes or some history of testicle damage, however many of these problems can be overcome with a personalised routine based on natural medicines. Low counts, low motility and /or poor morphology have all shown great improvement through a change in the body's chemistry. The healthy sperm may live up to 3 -5 days. Many men have been told that their semen samples are normal when in actuality they don't fall with in the (W.H.O.) normal parameters for conception through intercourse.

Medical science's focus has been on achieving conception - getting the sperm and egg together, but for many people achieving conception is only the beginning. It's not just a matter of conceiving. What happens after conception is often where the problem lies. The fertilised egg must move down the tube to the uterus, this is a seven-day process during which time the cell must multiply many times over. Nutritional deficiencies can become evident here as the required materials to cope with this rapid cell replication can be lacking. Seven days after conception the egg must burst releasing its contents to the progesterone ripened sticky lining. Many subtle body chemistry balances are essential to achieve implantation. The body now has 6 days in which to achieve detection or else, on day 27, hormone levels will drop. If this hormone level drops any chance of a pregnancy will be lost with the flow. Failure in these post conception areas are the cause of much unexplained infertility. Unfortunately, the drugs used to induce hyper ovulation may have a negative influence on the endometrial lining, decreasing the likelihood of implantation and the chances of detection. Thus the help given with one hand is taken away with the other. This is why thousands of women every year with the help of medical science have fertilised eggs placed in the womb without resulting in a pregnancy. In these cases the issue of conception has been solved but not the problems of implantation or detection. Without detection any hope of progress in pregnancy will end in miscarriage. Many women have known they were pregnant only to have their period arrive on or about the due date. The health of this lining and messaging system is critical. Dark and/or clotted periods, premenstrual spotting, premenstrual bloating, breast tenderness, emotional irritability, repressed or retarded flows, flooding or irregular bleeding can all be evidence of challenges in this area. With correct handling all of this abnormality can be relieved and the potential for success maximized.

If all of these mechanisms work correctly the period will not arrive on its due date, the body will have received the message not to menstruate. Technically at this point a pregnancy has begun. Early development of a foetus and hormonal support of this early part of the pregnancy is still essential. It is reliant on a healthy endometrium, rapid pituitary response and vigorous ovarian function. Without one of numerous enzyme triggered reactions miscarriage can be the only outcome. The majority of early miscarriages are due to failure of a mother's body to fulfil its crucial roll, not as is often suggested "there was something wrong with the baby" or "its natures way." Miscarriage or threatened miscarriage can be avoided through correct preparation and management of a woman's early developmental stage. Indeed, many cases of repeated miscarriage have been resolved when approached in this manor.

A body in a healthy state will bear children easily, without delay or grief or misery. Some conditions are beyond the reach of the techniques used by Infertility Solutions International but many are not. Almost all the conditions described in this article can be either wholly or partially corrected with a personalized routine using tools readily available through I.S.I. For hundreds of couple's worldwide this has made the difference.
