Should I bring in old lab or imaging results?
If you have any results that you think would be beneficial to Dr. Amy reviewing please bring them. In addition, if you've had any lab or imaging (diagnostic) test results that were within the last year please bring them too.
Depending on what's going on, Dr. Amy may need to recommend you to get blood work. This can be discussed in more detail during your appointment. |

I have been experiencing infertility and am wondering if there's anything Dr. Amy can do to help me?
Both Naturopathic and Chinese Medicines have been beneficial in helping improve fertility. A hormone panel is typically recommended to see the hormone levels in your body. Research have shown that pregnancy rates increase when women who are undergoing IVF treatment also get acupuncture. Although society commonly sees infertility presented in women, it's important to know that there are also male factors that affect infertility. To discuss more about this, please contact us.
