Gift of Egg and Sperm Donation

I have been treating infertile couples for over a decade and served on the board of RESOLVE (the non-profit organization that supports couples struggling to get or stay pregnant) and have improved pregnancy rates at many of the top fertility centers in the nation. I have given pre and post embryo transfer acupuncture treatments to enhance pregnancy rates by over 65% as proven by Fertility and Sterility medical journal study.




My heart has experience both the elation and joy upon receiving news of successful fertility treatments (both naturally and through IVF) for my patients both. I have been witness to many devastated couples who are told by their Reproductive Endocrinologist that they have less than a 1% chance of conceiving with their own eggs or sperm. This medical opinion crushes the spiritual and emotional life within a person. For these couples it is almost unbearable to make it through each day let alone each pregnancy of their friends, families, and co-workers. In extreme cases even witnessing pregnant strangers can be so inhumanely devastating that people feel suicidal.



I have had numerous patients opt for the egg donor and or sperm donor route and not one of them has ever regretted the decision. It is such a precious gift that is given to these women and men who are struggling with their fertility. I have seen women reborn within themselves once they are pregnant. I have watched grown men weep with joy at the news that their wife is pregnant for the very first time. The gift of sperm and egg donation is just as miraculous as organ donation both saving a life of a dieing person in very different ways.
