Trying for a baby may sound fun in the beginning but after months of failed attempts couples excitement usually wanes and feels more like a chore than an exhilarating, intimate moment.
Surprisingly I advise patients to have intercourse at times when they aren't fertile and know they can't get pregnant. It takes the emotional pressure off for once enabling couples to enjoy each other for the sex of it. This way, when they are having sex during fertile times it feels OK that it's more mechanical then sensual.

Male and Female Infertility treated with International success
Read below my response to an out of town couple struggling with low sperm count and fibroids inhibiting their ability to conceive:
Thank you for sharing your fertility struggles. When a husband and wife both receive treatment from us they are the most successful in getting pregnant. We have already had two births this year where the husbands and wives were taking supplements and herbal medicine prescribed by me and my husband, Tony Burris, L.Ac., M.S.T.O.M. for infertility.
The best advice I can give you is for you to set up a phone consult with him to improve your sperm count. He has had tremendous results improving men's sperm count through diet, supplementation and herbal medicine. For your wife, she would consult with me.
Each person's reproductive pattern and assessment is individualized. A personalized diagnosis, evaluation and herbal prescription are essential for individual success. A cookie-cutter approach is not nearly as successful due to the wide variety of patterns that lead up to poor sperm count and fibroids.
Luckily our expertise includes nutritional supplementation, herbal medicine and acupuncture. For local patients they can receive acupuncture and for other patients they can use herbal medicine to improve their fertility. We have treated patients as far away as the United Kingdom. We are able to assess you from anywhere in the United States and drop ship to your home. If you are out of the U.S. we will have to do some research on shipping costs of the natural medicines that are mailed to you.
Please call us (208) 938-1277 to set up your personalized consultation. You may also visit our website listed above and for you click on "Tony's Intake" and for your wife "Kristen's In-take" and mail it to our address on our website. This way we will have all the medical information we need to assess your personal challenges with infertility before doing the phone consultation where we will gather more pertinent information. Be sure to add any relevant information that may not be asked on our questionnaire i.e.: sperm count numbers, treatments, surgeries, sizes of fibroids, etc.
I hope this information helps you. We look forward to meeting you and your wife and helping your baby dreams come true.

Fertility and Hidden Household Chemicals
Many people trying to get pregnant aren't aware of the endless chemicals that bombard their bodies even in their own sanctuaries, their homes. From toilet bowl cleaners, to dish washing soap to air fresheners it's a no wonder our bodies are chemically over loaded. Here are some simple tips to cleaning out the chemicals in your house especially your kitchen.
A green kitchen is so simple and affordable. All you need is baking soda, vinegar and hot water and you can clean anything healthily and affordably in your kitchen. I buy both the vinegar and the baking soda in bulk at Costo and for about $10.00 and I can clean for 12 months.
For kitchen floors- use one part vinegar four parts hot water
For grout- use 3 parts vinegar, 1 part baking soda, 1 part hot water
For counters- 1/2 water, 1/2 vinegar and put it in a spray bottle.
A green home makes for a happy womb. Even making a couple of changes could reduce your exposure by up to 50%. Good luck going green!

First Two Idaho Miracle Babies Born This Week
Our first two miracle babies in Idaho were born last week. Both couples were struggling heart wrenching sadness due to their infertility. They knew the negative repercussions that come with western medical interventions not to mention the astronomical cost. These two couples sought out our expertise due to our international success with infertility.
It only took a couple of months and both women were pregnant. They both have healed that deep, dark, wound of infertility as they hold their sweet baby boys. Their struggle and strife is over after only a couple of months of treatment: the wives saw me and the husbands saw my husband for treatment including acupuncture and herbal medicine.
Ironically they both gave birth to boys and weighed 7 pounds 15 oz. just this past week.
When told I should get a hysterectomy by 7 different doctors in my early twenties I knew there had to be a better way. I was dead set against a hysterectomy and was determined to save my reproductive organs so I could be a Mother some day. Once my health was restored in a mere three months it was the miraculous catalyst that propelled me to educate the world about viable, safe, and effective women's health options. Since then my husband and I have prevented countless hysterectomies and aided in the conception of hundreds of babies that never could have been without our expertise and passion to heal reproductive wounds.

Unexplained Frustrations of Infertility
Even though unexplained infertility may be one of the most frustrating diagnosis of infertility, it is the easiest aspect of infertility for an acupuncturist and herbalist to treat. The reason being is we have no physical obstructions to contend with during treatment. The disharmony that is happening in either you or your husband, or perhaps both, should be simple to re-adjust with some acupuncture and herbal medicine.
To increase your success and speed in which you become pregnant both you and your husband should seek out treatment from an acupuncturist and herbalist whose expertise is infertility. My husband and I practice together and he sees all of the husbands and I treat the wives. This way each sex feels more comfortable talking about personal health history like: "what color is your menstrual blood" and so on and so forth. When a couple is experiencing unexplained infertility the focus tends to inexplicably on the woman. This can inhibit your conception because it could in fact be a deficiency in your husband that isn't being picked up on laboratory tests. Our medicine picks up on imbalance that are more subtle. Western medical tests pick up on obvious imbalances within the body.
Some basic tests including: hsg to see if your tubes are blocked or checking your thyroid to see if you have hypo-thyroidism should be done as soon as possible if you have been trying for longer than a year. However, it is not necessary to have these tests done prior to seeing an acupuncturist and herbalist but the more information you have offer the better.
Good luck!
