Supporting Implantation

Healthy implantation is crucial for achieving and sustaining pregnancy, as it sets the foundation for fetal development. By employing strategies such as optimizing blood flow, maintaining a balanced diet rich in nutrients, and managing inflammation, you create an environment conducive to successful implantation. These actions not only enhance the chances of conception but also support overall reproductive health, improving fertility outcomes. A well-supported implantation process leads to a stronger pregnancy, reducing the risk of complications and promoting the health of both mother and baby.

Support Blood Flow to the Uterus

Supporting blood flow is important to have adequate blood being delivered to reproductive organs to help stimulate the uterine lining. Here are impactful ways to support blood flow:

• Acupuncture or an at home PranaMat 

• Castor oil packs

• Lymph work

• Fertility massage

• Adequate hydration and minerals

• Nutrient dense anti-inflammatory diet rich in whole foods like leafy greens, berries, nuts, seeds, and fatty fish

Ensure a Healthy Vaginal and Endometrial Microbiome

Having a healthy vaginal and endometrial microbiome is a key piece to optimal fertility. There is research to show how overgrowth or the presence of certain microbes can hinder implantation. Here's what to consider:

• Diet rich in polyphenols, fermented foods, and plant diversity

• Avoiding washes or lotions with fragrance

• Wearing breathable underwear

• Use caution with the type of lubricants, tampons/pads, and toilet paper

• Keeping in mind that semen has a strong impact on the microbiome and depending on the male partner and his microbiome it may be a negative impact

  • Rule out male microbiome testing as well as that can be the cause of vaginal/endometrial dysbiosis and infections/re-infections

• Gut health contributes significantly 

• Hormonal fluctuations, estrogen specifically is directly correlated to the microbiome

• Consider asking your provider for the EMMA & ALICE endometrial microbiome tests

Optimize Progesterone Production

Progesterone plays a vital role in supporting implantation by preparing the endometrial lining of the uterus to receive and nurture a fertilized egg. It thickens the lining, making it receptive and stable, and helps maintain the uterine environment necessary for the embryo to implant and grow. Adequate progesterone levels are crucial for sustaining the early stages of pregnancy, reducing the risk of early miscarriage, and supporting overall fertility. Here's what to focus on:

• Ensure you’re ovulating every month

• Eat enough fat and protein

• Prioritize your nervous system

• Support your thyroid

• Improve hormone metabolism and detoxification by your liver

• Get 7-8 hours of quality sleep every night

Manage Systemic Inflammation

This is crucial for supporting many systems in the body so that everything is functioning optimally. Chronic inflammation disrupts every single system in the body. Here's what to consider:

• Find out what is driving in the inflammation (work with us)

• Balance gut dysbiosis

• Shift towards a more anti-inflammatory diet

• Ensure that all detox pathways are open and functioning well (liver, kidneys, gut, lymph)

• Focus on major nervous system support modalities

• Supplementation specific for YOU

• Swap products for low/non tox options

• Exercise and prioritize recovery

Supplement Considerations

• Fish Oil: Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, fish oil reduces inflammation, supports egg quality, and enhances progesterone levels.

• Vitamin E: Acts as a powerful antioxidant, improving endometrial receptivity and blood flow.

• Red Raspberry Leaf Tea: Known for increasing blood flow to the uterus and strengthening uterine muscles

• Vitamin C: Supports optimal progesterone levels
