Uncovering the ‘Why’ Behind Unexplained Infertility
Beyond Band-Aid Solutions: Standard treatments often use synthetic birth control or force ovulation without finding out why your cycle is irregular or painful. We look hard enough to uncover the true cause.
Key Symptoms & Conditions We Treat:
- Recurrent Miscarriage & Implantation Issues: Monitoring and optimizing luteal phase progesterone levels to support ovulation and early pregnancy.
- PMOS / PCOS (Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome): Addressing the metabolic, insulin, and inflammatory drivers of ovulatory dysfunction.
- Endometriosis & Pelvic Pain: Combining targeted biomarker tracking with specialized diagnostic testing and surgical evaluation.
- Irregular Bleeding & Anovulatory Cycles: Restoring microbiome and balanced progesterone and estrogen production as a result of various conditions
How Our Process Works: Find, Fix, and Restore
Step 1: FIND the Problem (Months 1–2)
- What You Do: Learn the Creighton Model FertilityCare System (CrMS) to daily track natural cycle biomarkers like cervical mucus patterns and bleeding irregularities.
- What We Evaluate: Your standardized chart gives clinicians precise insight into your endocrine function without guesswork.
Step 2: FIX the Root Cause (Month 3)
- What You Do: Undergo targeted diagnostic evaluations such as blood work timed strictly to your cycle chart or specialized ultrasounds.
- What We Evaluate: NaProTechnology and restorative fertility hormonal treatment protocols are discussed for thyroid and insulin resistance, abnormal androgens, progesterone, and estrogen as well as low-dose naltrexone or lifestyle and dietary frameworks, all tailored to your biochemistry.
Step 3: COUNT Healthy Cycles & Optimize (Mon 4–12)
- What You Do: Continue tracking your chart while receiving active medical management.
- What We Evaluate: We count verified, hormone-optimized cycles to maximize your probability of natural conception and maintain a healthy pregnancy.
How Restorative Reproductive Medicine Differs from Standard Fertility Care
| Evaluation Parameter | Standard ART (IVF / IUI) | FertilityCare Canada (Restorative Medicine) |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Goal | Bypasses the issue to force pregnancy. | Diagnoses and treats underlying root causes for long-term health. |
| AMH Requirements | Often restricts care based on low AMH levels. | No AMH restrictions; low AMH is not a limit on natural healing. |
| Age Parameters | Strict upper operational age limits. | Open to all reproductive ages; successfully treating women up to age 46. |
| Hormone Approach | High-dose synthetic stimulation. | Bioidentical, cycle-timed progesterone and estrogen support. |
| Male Factor Issues | Frequently mandates ICSI/IVF bypass routes. | No restrictions; works to optimize natural reproductive parameters. |
Clinical Outcomes & Evidence-Based Foundations
- Research-Backed Success Rates: Clinical registries published by the Saint Paul VI Institute demonstrate that when cycle charting is combined with targeted NaProTechnology medical and surgical management, up to 60–80% of couples successfully achieve pregnancy depending on the underlying condition.*
- Our Canadian Practice Outcomes: In our virtual and Calgary-based clinical practice, following this structured diagnostic and restorative protocol yields a 60–70% success rate for couples struggling with subfertility and recurrent loss.
- Open Access Research: Visit our [Peer-Reviewed Research Library] to view published clinical studies on low-dose naltrexone, bioidentical progesterone support, and endometriosis surgical outcomes.*Success rates vary based on individual medical diagnosis, age, cycle compliance, and whether surgical intervention is required. Claims are supported by peer-reviewed studies published in international restorative reproductive medicine registries.

Frequently Asked Questions
Treatment Duration
How long does the entire restorative fertility process take?
The initial diagnostic phase takes 2 to 3 months of daily biomarker charting, paired with targeted lab work. A complete treatment plan is typically established by Month 3-4 with diagnostic assessment and testing, then followed by up to 12 months of counted, hormone-optimized cycles.
Location & Virtual Care
Do I have to live in Calgary to access treatment?
No. Our fertility charting education can be done 100% virtually through our practitioners from across Canada. If you choose to be referred to a restorative fertility consultant and clinicians for diagnosis and treatment, there are several options available.
Unexplained Infertility
Can restorative medicine help if I have been diagnosed with unexplained infertility?
Yes. “Unexplained infertility” simply means standard diagnostic tests have not identified the issue. By tracking detailed biomarkers, we frequently identify overlooked issues like subtle progesterone deficiencies, PMOS, or endometriosis.
Tubal Ligation & Eligibility
Is this program a fit if I have already had a tubal ligation?
natural restorative protocols require an intact, operating reproductive system to achieve natural conception. We cannot assist with natural conception if you have had a prior tubal ligation or have transitioned past menopause.
