For some women, getting into advancing age 40’s does not just mean their ovary reserve degeneration, but also their uterus/uterine/endometrial lining. Their uterine lining is just too thin for even a healthy embryo implantation.
Embryo likes a seed ready for further development. It needs fertile ground to implant, retrieve nutrient and grow. However, if the ground is too bare and hard. Seed cannot implant and grow. It withers and dies. If endometrial lining cannot reach certain thickness and quality when the embryo lands, the embryo cannot implant firm enough to retrieve enough nutrient for its further development.
We have encountered several endometrial lining cases in which IVF doctors have to abandon embryo transfer because lining thickness cannot reach 8 mm for advanced age women. During IVF procedure, after period or BCP, estrogen patches, or inserts or estrogen shots will be used to help uterus lining develop. However, for some women over 40s, their uterus lining does not respond to external estrogen stimulation quite well, even with very strong dose of estrogen shots.
We have a lady whose doctor increased her dosage to the double amount of previous mock transfer. Still the lining was staying at 4 or 5 mm thickness. Her thigh was spasm due to too much medication. After month of acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine, her lining finally achieved the requirement of egg transfer.
Acupuncture helps uterine micro blood circulation and herbs helps the quality of blood. Overall, Acupuncture and Chinese medicine help improve uterine Lining for women with advancing age.
