Don't Give Up Pregnant at 42

As emotionally devastating as infertility can be there is hope.  Our most recent patient came for acupunture after being on Clomid for 12 months and having had 4 failed IUI's.  The couple was desperate and exhausted.  They decided to try one more IUI but this time they added our expertise to their fertility treatments. 

The husband saw my husband, Tony A. Burris, L.Ac. , M.S.T.O.M. for advice about herbal supplements and vitamin therapy to increase his virility.  The wife sought my expertise for unexplained infertility.  She sufered from side-effects from her fertility drugs including PMS, bloating, exhaustion and freezing cold.  After only a few treatments the patient was markedly warmer and felt better overall with more energy. I prescribed a personalize herbal prescription with intensive vitamin therapy.  She came for acupuncture twice a week.   She felt the best she had going into this most recent IUI but was not hopeful due to her past 4 failures.  After the IUI I gave her treatments first to help with implantation and then followed up with securing pregnancy.

 When it came time to test for pregnancy she nearly threw out the pregnancy test without looking at the stick.

But something caught her eye.

It was the bright double stripe that jumped out at her.  Still in shock she had a blood test at her Reproductive Endocrinologists office with extremely high numbers.  Twins?  Only time will tell.

Don't give up for it is at that time the tide may turn in your favor and your dreams come true.
