Sophie Had an AMH of 0.59, Then Became Pregnant at 34 With GinSen

At 34, Sophie had only recently started trying to conceive when she became concerned about her fertility following an AMH result of 0.59.

Her fertility assessment showed that her uterus and fallopian tubes were fine, and she had never used contraceptive pills. Her menstrual cycles ranged from 23 to 28 days, with periods lasting around five days. She described her flow as mild and bright red, with occasional tiny clots.

Sophie also experienced several symptoms that concerned her, including feeling tired and cold most of the time, as well as stress. She sometimes experienced bloating after eating, while her bowel movements and sleep were otherwise normal.

Looking for additional support as she began her fertility journey, Sophie contacted GinSen for a personalised Traditional Chinese Medicine approach.

What Sophie Was Dealing With From a TCM Perspective

From a Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective, fertility is considered in relation to the overall balance of the body, including Kidney energy, Qi and Blood.

Although Sophie had only recently begun trying to conceive and her uterus and tubes were reported as healthy, her low AMH and individual symptoms were considered as part of her TCM assessment.

Her tendency to feel cold and tired, together with her menstrual pattern, occasional bloating and stress, were considered alongside her pulse and tongue findings to build a picture of her individual constitution.

The focus of her treatment was therefore to:

• Support Kidney energy and reproductive wellbeing
• Nourish and support Blood
• Encourage the smooth movement of Qi and Blood
• Address signs of coldness and occasional tiredness
• Support a healthy menstrual cycle
• Promote overall balance as she prepared for conception
