5 years waiting

This is always worth the wait! Another miracle, all natural, infertility success. Welcome to the world baby girl!!!! We've been waiting for you and your parents waited nearly 5 YEARS to birth you.
It was a long hard road to find us so you could then become fertile in a couple of months. Even up until the month you conceived you had yet another doctor tell you that you would need IUI (or possibly IVF) due to a new factor found. We corrected that concern in a few days with two simple steps.


It was also a long, hard, road of labor but she is here! She was born yesterday December 10th at 4:20pm. She weighed 8 pounds, 21 ounces and 21 inches long. Mom, baby and Dad are home already, snuggling in bed.


Their story is not unlike many of our patients' painfully, long, stories. Above all, going through infertility feels like a monthly death. It feels like it will never happen. It feels as though you can't possibly take another piece of bad news, or yet another negative pregnancy test or a negative ovulation prediction. Male factor often gets ignored or the options are immediately IUI or IVF. Many of our patients can't afford IVF so they feel they are out of options, hope and try to go on, not being parents. But this is not the end and they are not out of hope.


But then, by some miracle, they find us. Someone mentions our fertility work. A friend encourages and sometimes begs them to see us. The TV does a segment on our miracle work. A doctor, a midwife or a nurse refers them to us. Then, things change. We are magnets for miracles. We are not doing this alone. Our medicine is so old, it never changes. We are rooted so deep in tradition that our medicine is safe, reliable, and predictable. These are gifts, they are our calling. This is not work.

Tony and Kristen Burris, L.Ac. at their natural fertility center, work together to treat both the woman and the man, cultivating a healthy, fertile environment. We help patients all throughout the United States get pregnant, and have a baby, all without drugs or surgery and at a fraction of the cost.



 
All Natural Fertility After Only Several Months of Treatment and An All Natural Birth

A second dream came true for this couple yesterday: they were able to birth naturally with a midwife, with no drugs and no surgery. Your final chapter of your infertility story is now over. You are fertile and your are a Mom and a Dad, finally, and we are so very happy for you. God Bless.

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.

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!
