Bell (30)and her husband Andy (31)decided that they were ready to have their first child. When Bell had been off the birth control pill for 18 month, still had cycles of 60 days and still was not pregnant she and Andy really got worried about their fertility. They went to the obstetrician who advised them to try in vitro fertilization.
A friend advised her to go to an acupuncturist. She and Andy went to a well known acupuncture clinic. Fist Bell got a formula of 12 different Chinese herbs to normalize her cycle. She had to make tea of the herbs and drink it several times a day. It tasted disgusting but her cycle normalized very quickly. In addition she underwent several acupuncture treatments, first twice a week and later once a week. In 2 months Bell was pregnant!
During her pregnancy Bell kept going to the acupuncturist. She felt great during her whole pregnancy. She had no morning sickness or other negative pregnancy symptoms. Now Bell looks wonderful and radiant and happy with her big belly. She is due to give birth next week.She and Andy recommend that couples who have difficulty to conceive see an acupuncturist.
Chinese acupuncture or other alternative methods off course can not help every couple who suffer from infertility. But it certainly can help some. Hudson, the obstetrician in charge of the Victoria Fertility Centre performs acupuncture on all his in-vitro fertilization patients. He is convinced that it helps a lot of his patients.
Beverly Hanck, executive director of the Infertility Awareness Association of Canada says:” Complementary medicine will not unblock fallopian tubes but I have every reason (including some very sound studies) to believe that it can genuinely help some infertile couple
