Testimonials - fertility issues Dear Anna, I'm sitting here, 16 weeks pregnant, elated and still a little shocked that our 3rd child is on the way! Without your help, who knows where I'd be. I came to you in August of 2008 with a dx of PCOS which only manifested itself in the form of extremely irregular ovulation/periods and bothersome spotting. But it did interfere with my life quite a bit and I feared that should I ever want to get pregnant again, I would have a difficult time. Acupuncture and herbs proved to be the only truly effective and natural treatment option for me! You stressed the importance of consistency AND herbs for my particular situation, and I'm glad I stuck with it. The entire 7 months that I stayed consistent with my treatment I cycled every 35 days, which was unheard of for my body. Though life got busy and I stopped seeing you regularly, I continued on two (sometimes three) herbal formulas that yielded great results. Those herbs are powerful!!! I believe in them with every fiber of my being. Of course I would fret about the extra cost, but in the end I decided that I would rather treat my underlying hormonal imbalances that way than through some "Band-Aid" remedy thrown at me by a medical doctor (i.e. Clomid or synthetic hormones). Anyone out there considering acupuncture for fertility, PLEASE try it and commit to it before you head to a fertility specialist who will force your body into extreme processes it's not ready for. The beautiful thing about acupuncture is there are no side effects except increased energy, sounder sleep, improved libido AND on top of all that, you're bringing the body into homeostasis which is, in my opinion, essential for conceiving and growing a baby. Well.....I happened to have a completely normal cycle in July (30 days!) that ended after 5 days of healthy bleeding. Unfortunately, the bleeding resurfaced in the form of brown spotting that lasted 10 days. I finally decided to call you to see if you could clear it up. I had ONE treatment on a Saturday and not only did the spotting stop immediately, I ovulated and got CONCEIVED that Thursday!!! So here I am.....in a nutshell, acupuncture and herbs regulated my hormones, brought on more frequent and stronger ovulation and gave me fertile quality cervical fluid that I'd never produced before. I do have PCOS and have conceived all three of my children NATURALLY. I can't say enough positive things about your ability to heal and the wonderful effect your treatments have on fertility and pregnancy :) Thank you so much! (Practitioner’s notes: I treated this woman starting in August 2008. I requested that she give me 12-18 months to help her get pregnant due to the nature of her PCOS condition. She received acupuncture and was on 2-3 herbal formulas a month consistently. She informed me of her pregnancy in September 2009. Please refer to Tricia’s other testimonials to get more information regarding our treatments and many of the other benefits the acupuncture and herbs did for her. )
When my husband and I started down the road of fertility treatments, we tried to keep positive thoughts in our minds. But as time went on, it became easier to think of how it wasn't working. Even though we hadn't been trying as long as most other people, I wanted to figure out how I could improve the process. One day, I was waiting in the Doctor's office and I read an article about acupuncture and fertility treatments and the success that has been occurring. It sounded interesting and even though I've never had acupuncture, I thought that many women have done it before me and have been successful - so can I (the attitude that got me though all the fertility treatments and shots too). During this same time, I also purchased a CD about being positive during fertility treatments, but I wanted something more. I contacted you and you were very helpful, but I still remember my first visit - it was very relaxing and was all centered around being positive and "seeing" the success of a healthy baby in our lives, not just a pregnancy. This is what I needed, relaxing time to just "be" and to concentrate on the positive aspects of the process. I remember that some of my aches and pains went away after treatments and how my body felt better and even today - that I feel calmer. Now being 7 months pregnant with twin boys can cause some anxiety, but I look forward to the acupuncture and the relaxing and beneficial time for me. The positive visual process I experience during the treatment is also something that translates to my husband and I - we are always saying to each other, "Healthy, happy baby boys". Thank you again for all your help, the pregnancy is going great and not having to experience morning sickness was well worth the acupuncture experience and discovering the many benefits it provides. - Thank you, Jeri Smith
Movie (short 3 minutes) Dear Anna, I cannot thank you enough for all that you have done for myself and my family. When I came to you in March, I was desperate to have a baby. After three years of trying unsuccessfully, it was the most stressful time in my life that I can remember. As my husband and I began to research fertility treatment options, we had heard and read that acupuncture had been known to increase the chances of fertility treatments. I decided that it couldn't hurt to give it a try. I reached out to you and you replied with the warmest response and a genuine interest in helping us on our journey to be parents. To my surprise, your treatments were so relaxing! I was already getting so many shots that I was not thrilled about more needles, but I really never even felt them. The treatments allowed me the time to focus on the future and being a good parent instead of getting caught up in the day to day struggles of fertility treatments. I am thrilled to say that I am 16 weeks pregnant with twin girls! We are so thankful to have found you to help us through this crazy time in our lives. You are such a wonderful person and a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend your treatments to anyone dealing with fertility issues. I think it made all the difference. Take care and thanks again! - Kari Plush
I have benefited tremendously from my acupuncture
treatments. I tried acupuncture because I was having trouble with
infertility. I had awful and painful periods that lasted for more
than a week and that was preventing me from getting pregnant. When
I met Anna I knew that she would be able to help me. She is very
personable and professional. I felt like I was in good hands. After
my treatments, I was able to achieve a 3 day menstrual period and
what a relief. Anna provided me with literature, herbs and her experience
to help me relax. Acupuncture I believe helped me achieve my pregnancy.
I now have a beautiful boy as a result of my treatments. I would
recommend acupuncture to those needing a solution to infertility
or to those just seeking calm and peace that will help achieve a
pregnancy. |
