Baby on the way! Congratulations to our couple who just found out they are expecting at our center!
Last week, when this wonderful patient came in to see us post transfer (the last stage in the IVF protocol), I felt her pulse. The ancient medical practice of pulse taking is complex and takes years to master. I felt her pulse and told her, with confidence, that she was pregnant. The blood test confirmed it later and they are indeed pregnant!
It's been a long, hard, road with many months of prepping prior to her IVF cycle with too many postponements and heartaches and losses along the way. You've waited years for good news. We know your fight isn't over yet and our treatment objective has changed from enhancing IVF to preventing miscarriage and supporting pregnancy.
Acupuncture combined with IVF has a 65% higher success rate than IVF alone. In addition, other studies show a 50% reduction in miscarriages in IVF patients who receive acupuncture before and after IVF. Yet another study has shown that acupuncture can reduce the occurrence of recurrent miscarriage in women who have experienced multiple miscarriages.
We can't wait to hear more good news to come over the next couple of weeks.
For now, rest in knowing you ARE pregnant! Congratulations!
