Recurrent implantation failure (RIF), recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) and unexplained infertility affect around 30% of those experiencing fertility challenges, and represent a significant portion of presentations in clinical practice. This complex patient group require expert management to genuinely optimise their chance of succesful pregnancy and a healthy baby.
Scientific consensus and medical practice are far from settled; significant debate continues. With few agreed conventional strategies, many patients seek functional medicine support at this challenging time. Competence and confidence in understanding an individual's unique circumstances are essential when working in this field.
In this 2.5 hour webinar, Rhiannon will take practitioners through clear clinical strategies to recognise, assess and manage factors affecting RIF & RPL, including:
💥 Endometrial receptivity & embryo implantation.
💥 Hormone imbalance.
💥 Immune dysregulation.
💥 Natural killer (NK) cells.
💥 DQ alpha genotyping.
💥 The endometrial & vaginal microbiome.
💥 Thin endometrial lining & Asherman's syndrome.
💥 Endometritis.
💥 Thyroid function & autoimmunity.
💥 Genetic & epigenetic factors.
💥 Methylation, homocysteine & histamine.
💥 Thrombophilias.
💥 Anatomical uterine factors.
💥 IVF, ICSI, including fresh and frozen embryo transfers.
Practitioners will come away with expertise in:
💥 Relevant pathology ordering and interpretation.
💥 Functional clinical management, including nutritional & herbal medicine.
💥 The current expert opinions of researchers in this field.
💥 Referrals and comms with patient’s specialists and other HCP’s.
💥 Understanding medical management strategies and controversies, including NK cell & DQ alpha match testing, corticosteroids, intralipids, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), antibiotics, hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil), lymphocyte immunisation therapy (LMIT), clexane, aspirin and low dose naltrexone (LDN).
💥 Supporting patients undergoing IVF/ICSI to optimise outcomes and reduce risks.
