The main symptom of infertility is not getting pregnant. There may be no other obvious symptoms.

Sometimes, women with infertility may have irregular or absent menstrual periods. In some cases, men with infertility may have some signs of hormonal problems, such as changes in hair growth or sexual function.

Causes of male infertility

These may include:

• Abnormal sperm production or function due to undescended testicles, genetic defects, health problems such as diabetes, or infections such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, mumps or HIV. Enlarged veins in the testes (varicocele) also can affect the quality of sperm.
• Problems with the delivery of sperm due to sexual problems, such as premature ejaculation; certain genetic diseases, such as cystic fibrosis; structural problems, such as a blockage in the testicle; or damage or injury to the reproductive organs.
• Overexposure to certain environmental factors, such as pesticides and other chemicals, and radiation.
• Cigarette smoking, alcohol, marijuana, anabolic steroids, and taking medications to treat bacterial infections, high blood pressure and depression also can affect fertility. Frequent exposure to heat, such as in saunas or hot tubs, can raise body temperature and may affect sperm production.
• Damage related to cancer and its treatment, including radiation or chemotherapy. Treatment for cancer can impair sperm production, sometimes severely.

Causes of female infertility

• Ovulation disorders, which affect the release of eggs from the ovaries. These include hormonal disorders such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Hyperprolactinemia, a condition in which you have too much prolactin — the hormone that stimulates breast milk production — also may interfere with ovulation.
• Either too much thyroid hormone (hyperthyroidism) or too little (hypothyroidism) can affect the menstrual cycle or cause infertility. Other underlying causes may include too much exercise, eating disorders or tumors.
• Uterine or cervical abnormalities, including abnormalities with the cervix, polyps in the uterus or the shape of the uterus. Noncancerous (benign) tumors in the uterine wall (uterine fibroids) may cause infertility by blocking the fallopian tubes or stopping a fertilized egg from implanting in the uterus.
• Fallopian tube damage or blockage, often caused by inflammation of the fallopian tube (salpingitis). This can result from pelvic inflammatory disease, which is usually caused by a sexually transmitted infection, endometriosis or adhesions.
• Endometriosis, which occurs when endometrial tissue grows outside of the uterus, may affect the function of the ovaries, uterus and fallopian tubes.
• Primary ovarian insufficiency (early menopause), when the ovaries stop working and menstruation ends before age 40. Although the cause is often unknown, certain factors are associated with early menopause, including immune system diseases, certain genetic conditions such as Turner syndrome or carriers of Fragile X syndrome, and radiation or chemotherapy treatment.
• Pelvic adhesions, bands of scar tissue that bind organs that can form after pelvic infection, appendicitis, endometriosis or abdominal or pelvic surgery.

ESSENTIAL:

• Selenium (AI Selenium): Deficiency leads to reduced sperm count and has been linked to sterility in men and infertility in women. Take 200–400 mcg daily.
• Vitamin C with bioflavonoids (NS Liposomal Vitamin): Important in sperm production. Keeps the sperm from clumping and makes them more motile. Take up to 2,000 mg daily, in divided doses.
• Vitamin E (EQ Initial E): Needed for balanced hormone production. Has been known as the “sex vitamin” that carries oxygen to the sex organs and increases sperm count. Take 90 mg (200 IU) daily or 180 mg (400 IU) every other day.
• Zinc (EQ Zinc): Important for the functioning of the reproductive organs. Zinc is found in high concentrations in semen. Take up to 40 mg daily.
• Thyroid Support (NS Thyroid Max, EQ Thyroid HP, EQ Thyropar, EQ Thyroid Herbal, EQ Thyroid Homeopathic): if found to be a contributing factor
• EQ Gynestat if female detox needed

Highly recommend the Receptor Site Flush

• Evening Primrose Oil (For male & female) (EQ Primrose Oil refer to the link below for Receptor Site Flush):  To cleanse receptor sites.
• Flax Seed Oil (EQ Flax Seed) (female only):  To cleanse receptor sites.
• Pumpkin Seed (male only) (NS Healthy Prostate): To cleanse receptor sites.

IMPORTANT:

• Octacosanol (NS Green Max 2-6 caps daily):  Assist in balancing pH.  Aids in hormone production. Take as directed on label.

HELPFUL:

• Essential fatty acids (NS Omega Complete 1-2 caps daily): Essential for normal glandular function and activity, especially for the reproductive system. Take as directed on label.
• Amino Acid Complex (NS Amino Complex 4 capsules daily):  L-arginine, plus L-cysteine, and L-methionine, plus L-tyrosine, plus acetylcholine: L-arginine increases sperm count and plays a role in sperm motility. L-cysteine has sulfur-containing amino acids that are effective free radical destroyers and chelating agents that protect glandular and hormonal function. L-tyrosine alleviates stress and aids in stabilizing moods. Acetylcholine increases sexual pleasure. Caution: Do not take tyrosine if you are taking an MAO inhibitor drug. For L-arginine,  L-cysteine, L-methionine, and acetylcholine, take as directed on label. For L-tyrosine, take 500 mg daily, on an empty stomach. Take with water or juice. Do not take with milk. Take with 50 mg vitamin B6 and 100 mg vitamin C for better absorption.
• Manganese (NS Manganese Plus 2-4 caps daily): Maintains sex hormone production. Take as directed on label. Do not exceed 11 mg daily. 
• Proteolytic enzyme (NS Proteolytic Enzymes 2 caps 3 times daily}: Aids in the breakdown of foods for better nutrient absorption. Take as directed on label. Take between meals.
• Pycnogenol, or grape seed extract (NS Grape Seed Extract 2-6 caps daily): Powerful antioxidant bioflavonoids that may increase sperm count. For either, take as directed on label.
• Raw prostate glandular (NS Healthy Prostate 2-6 caps daily):  For men. Supports testicular-prostate function. Take as directed on label.
• Female Reproductive Support (EQ Ovapar, BL Female SRF): For women. Supports ovarian function. Take as directed on label.
• DHEA (AI DHEA): Improves libido and assists with hormone production.  Take as directed on label.
• Vitamin A, plus carotenoid complex (BL  Total Nutrition Plus): Vitamin A is important in reproductive gland function. Carotenoid complex has antioxidants and vitamin A precursors. For vitamin A, take up to 3,000 mcg (10,000 IU) daily. For carotenoid complex (Betatene), take as directed on label.
• Vitamin B complex, plus extra vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid), and vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), and para aminobenzoic acid (PABA), and folic acid, and vitamin B12 (EQ B Complex, AI B Complex): Vitamin B complex is important in reproductive gland function. Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) maintains sex hormone production. Helpful for stress. Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) is needed for the synthesis of RNA and DNA. Para aminobenzoic acid (PABA) plays a role in restoring fertility in some women. Folic acid protects the egg, sperm, and genetic material. Vitamin B12 maintains fertility.  For vitamin B complex, take 50 mg of each major B vitamin (thiamine and riboflavin) daily. Amounts of individual vitamins in a complex will vary. Do not exceed 35 mg niacin, 100 mg vitamin B6, and 1,000 mcg folate daily. For extra vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid), take as directed on label. For vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), take up to 50 mg twice daily. For para aminobenzoic acid (PABA), take 50 mg daily. For folic acid, take 400 mcg daily. For vitamin B12, take 2,000 mcg daily.

There are certain points on the body that practitioners believe can be beneficial for improving one’s ability to conceive naturally or through assisted reproductive techniques such as IVF or IUI (intrauterine insemination). The most common areas where acupuncture needles are selected to be inserted include the head, ears, hands, lower legs, feet, and abdomen. These points can help reduce stress levels and boost ovarian function, among other things. 

• Ren 7: Located on the stomach just above the belly button. This point helps regulate menstruation cycles and helps with blood production, which can improve ovulation rate and egg quality.
• Bladder 23: Located on the lower back at waist level near your spine. This point helps reduce stress levels which can improve hormonal balance and overall reproductive health.
• Kidney 3: Located below each kneecap towards the middle of the lower leg on either side of your shinbone. This point helps strengthen vitality which can improve male sperm count and motility levels, as well as female egg health.
• Ex-CA1: The Zigongxue acupuncture point is located along the centerline, one thumb’s width above the pubic bone. This point is known in English as the “uterus point” because of its usefulness in treating conditions linked to the uterus, including dysmenorrhea (painful periods), infertility, and uterine prolapse.
• CV2: The CV2 acupuncture point, known in English as “Curved Bone,” is located in the center of the pubic bone. This point is used to treat problems with feminine discharge, dysmenorrhea, irregular cycles, and male infertility.
• CV5: The CV5 acupuncture point, known in English as “Stone Gate,” is located three body inches above the pubic bone. (In acupuncture, a body inch or “cun” is a specific measurement taken from the finger joints of the patient that signifies the distance between acupuncture points.) The CV5 acupuncture point has classically been used to treat male and female infertility, abdominal pain, and gastrointestinal issues.
• ST30: The ST30 acupuncture point, known in English as “Surging Qi” (Qi is the ancient Chinese term for the energy that flows throughout the body), is located on the inner groin. Acupuncturists use this point to treat male infertility and regulate menstrual conditions, including irregular periods, dysmenorrhea, amenorrhea (lack of periods), and abnormal uterine bleeding.
• KD13: The KD13 acupuncture point, known in English as “Qi Hole,” is located along the kidney meridian line. Along with other points along this line, KD13 is useful for abdominal and/or gynecological health conditions, including infertility.

For Women:  Run an Ovary Uterus Scan.  Use the Search Criteria to scan the Hormone Filter (1X1).  Add energies for symptoms and also the above listed homeopathics.  Look for nutritional deficiencies and make sure they are addressed.  Infections and toxins are almost always a factor and must be addressed as well.  You can use the Search Criteria to add energies for the toxins noted in scanning and run a toxin screen (1X1) to add additional toxins specific to the Ovaries & Uterus.  You may want to consider a RECEPTOR SITE FLUSH (found in the advanced training).  Consider conditions such as PCOS, Endometriosis, PID, Fibroids etc. in addressing imbalances.

For Men:  Run a Prostate/Testes Scan.  Use the Search Criteria and scan the Hormone Filter (1X1) .  Add energies for symptoms and also add the above listed homeopathics.  Look for nutritional deficiencies and make sure they are addressed.  Infections and toxins are almost always a factor and must be addressed as well.  You can use the Search Criteria and add energies for toxins noted in scanning as well as running a toxin screen (1X1) to add additional toxins specific to the prostate and testes.  You may want to consider a RECEPTOR SITE FLUSH (found in the advanced training).

For Women and Men:  Interview the client, review the Intake form to see if medications, excessive alcohol consumption, tobacco use, steroids, marijuana (or other drugs) are a factor.  Also, consider that their may be emotional factors involved and you may need to add Bach flowers to their hold tank.

Imprint the hold tank into a correlating homeopathic or liquid herbal.  You can imprint the laser and target affected area.  Use laser 2-4 times daily with at least a 2 minute session each time.
