At GinSen, we meet every woman where she stands — whether at the start of her journey or after many setbacks. Charlotte came to us at 44, facing the emotional weight of a failed IVF in 2024, where her own eggs were deemed poor in quality and her uterine lining too thin to support implantation.
She had made the decision to proceed with donor eggs, but knew her body wasn’t ready. She was tired, cramping, bloated, waking in the night, with cold limbs and poor blood flow — her system needed balance, warmth, and restoration. That’s where GinSen stepped in.
Through 10 weeks of intensive Traditional Chinese Medicine treatment, Charlotte prepared her body, improved her womb health, and achieved a successful IVF implantation. She is now pregnant — a powerful reminder that age is only one part of the story.
Charlotte’s 4-Step Treatment Plan
1. Preparing the Uterus: Warmth, Blood, and Balance
Charlotte’s uterus had been described as thin and unprepared. In TCM, this reflects a deficiency in blood and yang energy — the womb must be warm, nourished, and soft to receive life.We used:
- Acupuncture to enhance blood flow and hormone function
- Moxibustion to warm the lower abdomen and improve endometrial health
- Dietary guidance to support blood and Qi from within, within a few weeks, her cramps eased, bloating reduced, and she felt warmth returning to her hands, feet, and womb.
2. Hands-On Therapies for Energy and Circulation
Charlotte received regular treatments, including:
- Reflexology, to stimulate hormone pathways
- Moxibustion and acupuncture, to target the kidneys, spleen, and reproductive system
- Circulatory support, addressing her cold extremities and digestive bloating
- These therapies not only improved her physical state, but calmed the stress and exhaustion she carried. Her body shifted from tension to receptivity.
3. Daily Care Through Diet and Lifestyle
Alongside hands-on therapies, Charlotte followed a TCM-aligned diet focused on:
- Cooked, warming foods to nourish blood and reduce dampness
- Avoiding cold, raw, or gassy foods
- Gentle routines to restore sleep and reduce night waking
- These small, daily decisions worked hand-in-hand with her clinical treatments to build a strong foundation for implantation.
3. Healing Through Food and Lifestyle
Alongside herbal treatment, Merry received a personalised diet and lifestyle plan to strengthen hormone balance and internal warmth. She avoided raw and cold foods, followed a blood-nourishing diet, and practiced daily calming routines.
In TCM, lifestyle is medicine. With discipline and care, she created the conditions for success.
4. Consistent Support and Trusted Guidance
From her first consultation to her seventh week of pregnancy, Charlotte received steady, compassionate care. Our team guided her week by week — adjusting her treatments, answering her questions, and supporting her emotionally through the IVF process.
Even with donor eggs, successful implantation requires a healthy, receptive womb. With expert support and consistent dedication, Charlotte gave her body the best chance possible — and it responded.
A Hope Fulfilled
Charlotte’s story is not just about age or IVF success — it is about empowerment through preparation. At 44, she proved that with the right support, the body can still respond, heal, and welcome life.
We are honoured to have walked this part of her journey with her. At GinSen, we remain committed to supporting every client — from their first step to the joyful news that life has taken root.
