Fertility, Infertility & IVF

<< Women's Health Testimonials

My husband and I had been trying for a baby for a while and ended up going for IVF. My close friend recommended trying acupuncture as it had helped her get pregnant the first cycle of IVF. Being a Medical Doctor, I myself, was a little skeptical about acupuncture and how it would help, but I was willing to give it a try as I had nothing to lose. If I was going to spend 15000 on an IVF cycle I was willing to pay a few hundred extra dollars. I did my research and set up a meeting with Lisa. She was very professional and thought that it would help me. I did a total of 10 sessions with her, 8 before and 2 after the transfer. I was told that my quality of eggs wasn't the greatest and I wasn't really hopeful but about 2 weeks after the transfer I was told that I was pregnant!!! IVF in itself is a very emotionally and physically difficult process. I am recommending acupuncture to all my friends going through IVF.

Lisa is absolutely amazing, very professional and knows her work. She came in on a weekend for a session as my transfer was on a Saturday. I highly recommend her to anyone who is doing IVF.

I came to Lisa for help with infertility. I had never used acupuncture before. My husband and I wanted a family, but were having difficulty getting pregnant. After almost a year of trying I went to my doctor. I was diagnosed with PCOS and was told that I would have take medication. I am not from the United States and was not comfortable taking medication. I decided to try acupuncture. With Lisa's guidance I was able to see that our move to the United States was a very big one for me. My husband was working all the time, I had left behind my family and friends, and my lifestyle and diet changed. I was having a hard time finding work, new ways to occupy myself, and new friends. I missed my family back home. Now I believe that all these things contributed to my PCOS. When we moved here, I suddenly gained weight, my skin broke out constantly, my mood became very low, and I felt depressed. I had never felt this way before. After 10 visits with Lisa, my husband and I were surprised to learn that we had become pregnant! We were not actively trying and never expected it to happen so soon. We are so grateful for your help. Thank you!

I suffered from a low libido resulting in erectile dysfunction due to an imbalance of my hormone levels. I had seen an urologist who prescribed Clomiphene Citrate and then some testosterone replacement cream as well as injections. I had been taking these for about 6 months with little results.

After 6 months of treatment with prescription medication I began to see Lisa for acupuncture treatment. I noticed a difference right away. With the acupuncture treatment, my libido started to return to normal and a few months later my hormone levels were tested and they had returned to normal. The results were significant. I had seen little change with the injections and the medications. With the acupuncture I not only saw results in my hormone levels, I physically felt better within a couple of months of treatment.

I am now healthy and back on track and do periodic follow-ups with Lisa. I would highly recommend this course of treatment for anyone suffering from libido issues. My life is back on track and I am now the proud father of a new born son! I strongly feel this was all the result of my acupuncture treatment with Lisa.
