My husband and I never... read moreMy husband and I never thought that we would struggle with infertility. My first pregnancy came without trying in 2016 but ended in miscarriage. At the time, I was heartbroken, but I had no reason to believe that another successful pregnancy wasn't on the horizon. Surprisingly, the years following that loss were filled with health-related setbacks, including surgeries and an auto-immune disease diagnosis. Finally, in 2020, I was able to get pregnant again, and we were overjoyed. Sadly, almost as quickly as it began, that pregnancy ended too. We were crushed.
By this point, I was in my late 30s and felt that time was running out to start our family. We made an appointment with a fertility clinic and, shortly after meeting with the team, began medicated IUI cycles. The entire ordeal was overwhelming and disappointing. We weren't getting the results we wanted from the treatments, and worse - we felt like the clinic cared more about the money than the outcome of the procedures.
In the middle of this process, I discovered Lisa. After taking the fertility reset courses, I made some much-needed lifestyle changes and set up acupuncture appointments. The results were astounding. Infertility is a really tough journey, and being a patient of Lisa's means not having to walk that path alone. Lisa cares deeply about her clients, and she listens.
After a few more failed IUI cycles, we decided to try a different clinic. Luckily, Lisa recommended a phenomenal doctor, and we enthusiastically met with our new RE. Lisa created a plan and was helping my body get ready for an IVF cycle when miraculously, I fell pregnant naturally! We were overjoyed! During the critical first few weeks of the pregnancy, I was diagnosed with a subchorionic hematoma. With my history of miscarriages, I panicked. Lisa suggested Chinese herbs and supplements to help the hematoma heal, and two weeks later, it was gone. Currently, I'm nearing the end of the first trimester, and I don't think I could have made it to this point without Lisa's expertise, support, and guidance.
If you are on the fence and thinking about acupuncture for infertility, I urge you to make an appointment with Lisa. She is knowledgeable, always accessible, and is a fierce ally in what can be a very long and challenging process to navigate. Without a doubt, I know that if not for Lisa, I wouldn't be pregnant today. My husband and I are endlessly grateful that we found her, and we hope that anyone reading this will too. read less
