Q: What will help my PMS?
A: While awareness of PMS (Premenstrual Syndrome) is widespread, most do not fully understand the condition. The undesirable physical and psychological symptoms that women of reproductive age may experience during their luteal phase, around ten to fourteen days before their period, are attributed to PMS.

Q: What can help my period cramps?
A: Incorporate mindfulness practices into your daily routine, such as meditation, yoga, and breathing exercises. Sleep is necessary for the body to repair, recover, and renew and depriving the body of sleep is thought to affect hormone balance. Exercise has been shown to improve mood, stabilize blood sugar, and reduce PMS in women. Modern day environmental factors are also a leading cause of estrogen dominance. Environmental factors that interact with the endocrine system are called hormone or endocrine disruptors. Our skin is the largest organ of our bodies. Take a moment to think about everything you put on your skin on a daily basis and what you come in contact with regularly.

Q: How can I tell when I’m ovulating?
A: For couples trying to conceive naturally, the absolute most basic key factor is timing intercourse or sperm exposure with ovulation. Getting the timing right on this can quite obviously increase or decrease odds of conceiving each month and for busy couples with demanding schedules and/or with children already, it can be tricky to find the time to ensure plenty of sperm exposure.

Q: What improves implantation?
A: While it is helpful to care for your body and mind during this time, the most effective way to influence your implantation window is with early preparation, ideally in the months leading up to your transfer, IUI, or timed intercourse. This can include acupuncture and herbs, as well as diet and lifestyle adjustments to support a healthy uterine lining, hormone balance, and uterine circulation.


Testimonials

“Mary Sabo is my miracle worker! It’s really incredible to think that I get to see my eastern doctor every week and have her really listen and do things that help. She is so warm and I feel like because of her, I can achieve my goals. I am not sure if this is the case for others, but my cycles have since gone from 60+ days to 35 days the first month, 30 the second and we’re on track for a 28 day cycle!!”

I adore Mary. I have been seeing her for 4 years through a tough miscarriage, a roller coaster pregnancy, and every issue and ailment (fertility and other) along the way. She is so knowledgeable in both eastern and western medicine. I always leave her office feeling amazing, both physically and emotionally. She is kind, caring, patient, and seems to know everything about everything. Her skill in acupuncture is unparalleled - this is evident not only through my own experience, but also the doctors who work with her, the panels she's so often asked to speak on, and the incredibly successful business she so quickly grew. My visits with Mary are the highlight of my week. I cannot recommend her enough.
