Single parents of a donor child at school

In these years we see that more and more donor children of singles and lesbians start school. In collaboration with the European Sperm Bank, TFP Stork Fertility has produced some brochures with good advice for you who are parents of a donor child as well as for your child’s educators and teachers.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture can optimize fertility treatment by:

  • Increasing blood flow in the uterus and improving the mucous membrane so that the egg can attach better
  • Reducing side effects from hormone intake (such as headaches, malaise, etc.)
  • Balancing the body and relaxing the uterus
  • Strengthening the immune system
  • De-stress the body

In Copenhagen, we work with acupuncturist Qunhui Mao, who has 30 years of experience in Chinese medicine and acupuncture.

Mao can be contacted for information and appointment by phone at +45 22 63 80 15.

Address: Amicisvej 25, 1 tv, 1852 Frederiksberg.
