jing markers and fertility prognosis

Most women who show up for "infertility" share a few basic and distressingly overlooked commonalities. They may not have them all, but over the years working specifically in fertility, I have noticed there have been over one third of patients arriving with at least three of the four initial symptoms, and at least half of all experiencing significant numbers of the rest.

These common symptoms, aside from the obvious menstrual and basal temperature models, could lead us assisting in saving the couple and the country vast amounts of misspent fertility treatments –

- Hair falling (often prematurely greying) - sometimes in clumps

- Warm feet that need to be put out of the covers at night - and often have had for years

- Teeth grinding/talking in sleep (all that pent up stuck liver qi creating further heat)

- Fingernails soft/growing poorly.

- Little/diminished sexual lubrication and interest/feeling in sex

- Little/no ovulation mucous

- Poor circulation in hands and feet

On quiet inspection, it is usually easy to spot also reduced calcification in the teeth - a translucency /less opacity, possible reduction in the visual whiteness. What more obvious display do we need of the likely egg quality decline (jing in manifest in its densest form)?
