I am 35 years old and have been married for 9 years to a wonderful man. We had been trying to conceive for approximately 4 years. I was diagnosed with “unexplained infertility” and then found out my left fallopian tube was partially blocked. We used clomid 4 times and we also did 3 IUI’s without any positive results. In 2011 we conceived naturally but I miscarried at 5 weeks. We were devastated and I grieved for a year before I felt like I could walk out of the “fog” of grief. We decided to go to the next level and go to another fertility doctor and try IVF. We met with the Dr. Frattarelli and were lined up to do IVF 2 months later. At this time I had heard about the benefits of acupuncture and did some research online. I found Ms. Edie Uchida and remember going to her office for the first visit and was leaning against the wall because I was so exhausted. My energy levels had been low for quite some time, even after a healthy diet change and losing weight from working out for 5 months prior to our IVF journey. I literally didn’t feel in “balance” with my body even after all the positive lifestyle changes I had made to boost my fertility. So I was ready to start acupuncture and I saw Ms. Edie 2 times a week because I was going to start IVF in a few months so it benefited me to see her that often. The staff were always welcoming and addressed me by my first name which was comforting. Edie has a warm way of making me feel comfortable and at ease, which helped me through my journey. I know that the acupuncture made me feel better, my energy levels were back, and I felt more in balance with my body. In just a month I could feel the changes. Our first IVF Cycle was a success and I’m so proud to say we will be having a little girl November 2013!
