About Restorative Reproductive Medicine: Fertility Treatment Northern Ireland

In recent decades, reproductive medicine has branched into two main approaches. Most people are familiar with artificial methods such as artificial insemination, IVF, and ICSI, which are often the primary treatments offered by the NHS. However, an alternative gaining traction is Restorative Reproductive Medicine (RRM).

What is Restorative Reproductive Medicine?

Restorative Reproductive Medicine (RRM) offers a natural approach to reproductive health, utilising scientific methods to restore the natural function of the reproductive system.

How Does Restorative Reproductive Medicine Work?

RRM focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of reproductive issues to restore balance. This process involves fertility tracking or charting to monitor reproductive functions. By examining mucus production and bleeding patterns, various reproductive phases and abnormalities can be detected.

Medical tests such as ultrasounds and blood tests confirm these findings, often screening for conditions like PCOS, thyroid dysfunction, and endometriosis. Based on these observations, a personalised treatment plan is created, which may include customised doses of ovulation medication or hormones and other supportive therapies. The ultimate goal is a normal fertility chart with optimal hormonal function.

Crucially, RRM collaborates with couples to identify underlying fertility issues and addresses them holistically and personally, tailored to their unique circumstances.

What Can Restorative Reproductive Medicine Help With?

RRM can address a variety of reproductive imbalances, including:

• Infertility

• Recurrent miscarriage

• Ovarian cysts

• Endometriosis

• Low ovarian reserve

• Failed IVF/IUI attempts

• Advanced maternal age (40+)

• Low AMH levels

• Irregular cycles and bleeding

• Premenstrual syndrome

• Postnatal depression

• 
  

Other Benefits of Using Restorative Reproductive Medicine

RRM presents an effective alternative to IVF, offering a higher success rate. It can work where IVF does not, is more affordable, and is an ethical option. RRM is holistic and scientifically grounded, identifying and resolving infertility causes while enhancing overall health and restoring fertility.

RRM empowers individuals to understand their cycles, providing personalised treatments for couples and fostering a deeper understanding and connection with their bodies. The fertility advisors at Calm Fertility Care teach couples how to observe and interpret their fertility throughout their cycle.

We typically refer couples dealing with infertility and miscarriage to RRM with FEMM for Fertility (FFF). FEMM for Fertility offers the best chance for such couples to build their families without resorting to IVF.

For those seeking fertility treatment in Northern Ireland, Restorative Reproductive Medicine offers a promising and natural solution.
