Our natural pregnancy rate (39%) rivals IVF at a fraction of the price, with no need to repeat for more children and without endangering embryos. Many women turn to us to increase IVF success after one or more failed IVF procedures. This page presents our success rates for an IVF done after Clear Passage therapy, and the reasons we help IVF succeed.
“A good example of our results is shown here. Without a single pregnancy after 15 IUIs and 7 IVF, this woman had two successful IVF and births after a five-day course of Clear Passage®. While we told her a second round of therapy was not required, she requested CP before each of her successful IVF. We are always glad to blend your intuition with our professional care.“
No More Failed IVF
IVF fails more often than it succeeds. With reproductive journals charting pregnancy rates after six and nine attempts, some women are told “You failed IVF” as if the fault is theirs, not the clinics. The cumulative costs and psychological burden are cited as reasons why people stop trying or search for answers elsewhere. Clearly, anything that can improve your chance for IVF success provides a way to never again endure another failed IVF.
Clear Passage® (CP) physical therapy has stopped the cycle of failed IVF in many women. Independent researchers reported that CP therapy before embryo transfer increased pregnancy rates in every age group. Published data show that a single cycle of CP therapy before embryo transfer increased IVF pregnancy rates by over 50%. Increases were three to five times the U.S. rate for women over age 40. Some women reported natural full-term pregnancies after their IVF baby was born.
Clear Passage® and IVF – a Perfect Pairing!
Doctors who perform IVF are reproductive endocrinologists (REs), largely focused on hormonal aspects of your fertility. Clear Passage® (CP) focuses on biomechanics – the physical condition of your organs and their ability to function optimally. We treat areas your RE can’t – and may not have considered. By decreasing tiny, often microscopic internal scars (adhesions) that start forming from the first time any object enters your vagina, we work to eliminate these powerful bonds we commonly find in the female reproductive tract. Often feeling like a deep massage, CP has been shown to improve reproductive function in several ways.
Why Clear Passage® Helps IVF So Significantly?
We treat a woman’s entire reproductive system. Below are organs, structures, and glands we treat in ways that doctors cannot, and do not. We are glad to discuss the therapy with you or your physician after we review your completed Medical History Form.
Decreasing Adhesions
Whether through intercourse, tampons, or other means, when a non-sterile object enters a woman’s vagina, it can introduce bacteria into the area. Set free in a place designed to promote life, the bacteria can proliferate and spread. They can easily pass through the cervix, then into the uterus and fallopian tubes, and onto the ovaries. The body’s first response to bacteria is to lay down tiny but powerful strands of collagen, the building blocks of adhesions. Wherever bacteria land in their journey through the reproductive tract, glue-like adhesions form curtain or rope-like structures to isolate the invading bacteria so the immune system can fight them off.
Treatment Through the Body: Vagina and Tailbone
Two conditions we treat in the vagina are adhesions and the coccyx (tailbone).
Adhesions are the first step in healing from the bacteria that can enter the vagina each time a woman has sex. Generally invisible to human sight, strong microscopic bonds can create sheets of adhesion that attach to vaginal walls. When this occurs, intercourse can bring a nightmare of pain. Repeated intrusions make things worse, causing inflammation or spasm that can interfere with conception. With a focus on decreasing adhesions, our therapy has been shown to decrease these adhesions and their pain in well over 90% of cases.
Pain with deep penetration occurs when your partner’s penis hits a cervix that has become tightened by adhesions, or a coccyx (tailbone) that has been pulled forward – generally from a fall onto your bottom. The anteverted coccyx can also pull on the dura, the strong sock that covers your spinal cord and pituitary, deep in your brain. If your coccyx is pulled forward (anteverted) even a centimeter (1/2 inch), it can pull the dura tight at the pituitary, the master gland of female reproduction. In all women, treating this area is especially important in reproductive-aged women. By treating this area, our IVF rates for women over 40 are three to five times the national average.
Treating the Cervix
Adhesions can cause a narrowing at the cervix, the entrance to the uterus (cervical stenosis). This makes the passage of sperm difficult and can cause pain with deep penetration. If your physician has difficulty inserting a catheter into your uterus, this is something we should treat for you. The area is accessible and very familiar to us. Returning your cervix to a normal anatomy can create huge benefits to your fertility and significantly decrease or eliminate any deep intercourse pain.
Treating the Uterus
The walls of the uterus should be rich and supple to accept a fertilized egg or embryo. Adhesions on the wall of the uterus can create areas that are less hospitable to implantation, creating an increased chance for miscarriage or failure to implant. They can also cause spasm or adenomyosis, a narrowing of the uterine sidewalls – again confounding implantation or leading to miscarriage. Our work appears to reverse these adverse effects, as shown in radiographic tests performed before and after therapy.
Treating Fallopian Tubes
Clear Passage got our name from our ability to open totally blocked fallopian tubes. We have done this in hundreds of women, many of whom have had several successive babies after a single course of therapy. If your doctor suggests s/he will remove your tube(s) before proceeding to IVF, you may want to call us. If we can save that tube (which we do in roughly two-thirds of patients), we find it increases your chance to conceive.
Treating the Ovaries
Adhesions appear to sometimes cover the ovaries, preventing follicles from escaping (e.g., in PCOS). Surgery to treat this (ovarian wedging or drilling) will generally create more scar tissue. Our therapy can help you avoid surgery to cut away ovarian scar tissue, which will create more adhesions.
Hormones: Treating the Pituitary-Hypothalamus
This area was addressed in the Tailbone section above, and further addressed on our page addressing age and hormonal problems.
Where’s the Proof?
There are two ways to evaluate our success at increasing IVF success rates.
Subjective reports: Remarkable stories like this video are helpful, but the scientific value of subjective reports is limited.
Objective reports: The Gold Standard. True success rates shown below.
Data from this study meet all these criteria:
- Over 100 patients are examined (this study has 146)
- Results are calculated by an independent biostatistician
- A biostatistician generated statistical p-values for the highest quality
- Statistical scientific ‘p-values’ for each group are smaller than .05
- Data is published in an independent peer-reviewed medical journal
- Results with CP are compared to a ‘norm’ (National IVF success rates without CP)
Validity of our pre-IVF results: Statisticians state the chance of a result being True or False via p-values. P-values in this study are excellent, showing that all results can be assumed True.
P-values explained: Any ‘p-value’ under 0.05 indicates valid (truthful) results. Statistically, p-values indicate the chance of achieving this result by chance is 5 out of 100. Any p-value that is below .05 is considered ‘true’. The lower the p-value, the more credible the result.
CP’s p-value rating of ‘p<0.0001’ (chance for an IVF pregnancy in women over 42) is remarkable. It means that the chance of achieving this result by chance is less than 1 out of 10,000; the chance of this result being valid is above 9,999 out of 10,000.
The p-value ‘p=0.039’ (IVF pregnancy for women age 41-42) is excellent. The chance of achieving this result by chance is 39 of 1,000, so the chance of it being valid (true) is excellent: 961 out of 1,000.
IVF Success Rates in Women Over 40
Three to Five Times the National Average
Timing Clear Passage® with Your IVF Cycle
We want to complete your 5-day therapy session at least two weeks before you begin ovarian-stimulating medications. Clear Passage® Therapy was shown to be effective when completed within 15 months before initiating an IVF cycle. Since our positive effects appear to last for over a year, you do not need to receive IVF transfer immediately after therapy.
