In 2011, my husband I decided to start the process of IVF. Not because I had infertility, but because I am a carrier for a genetic disorder. The disorder can be tested for, and eliminated, through testing after IVF treatment. What happened next was that I struggled to get pregnant. We went through a full cycle of IVF and two embryo transfers, neither of which took. This was extremely tough on us emotionally and physically because we also had failed pregnancies prior to starting IVF. My doctor did not have a good explanation for why I wasn't getting pregnant. While the disorder is known to affect a woman's ovaries, it shouldn't have any affect on one's ability to get pregnant. As a result, I began going to Todd for fertility treatment through acupuncture. I found that Todd was not only able to treat me for fertility issues, but the acupuncture also helped my emotional well being and it helped to relieve the stress I was feeling over the IVF process. Acupuncture is extremely calming and it enabled me to center myself and bring the anxiety down. The ability to do this is half the battle when going through IVF. Stressing over the procedures doesn't help one's chances of becoming pregnant.
So for that second IVF cycle, I saw Todd regularly prior to beginning treatment, during treatment as as well as right before and after the embryo transfer. I managed to keep my stress level lower and with this embryo transfer, I did become pregnant! I fully credit Todd and his acupuncture treatments with me getting pregnant. Not only did it calm my nerves, but the treatments helped my body and uterus do what they needed to do to get me pregnant. I had a successful pregnancy and a beautiful baby daughter.
Todd would always ask how I was feeling, what was going on with my body, and what hormones I was currently taking. He always knew exactly what my body needed during my treatment sessions. He made me feel very comfortable in knowing I was in the best possible care. Todd has a way of finding the exact pressure points to address and help the body perform at its highest levels. What made me most comfortable is that these are completely natural methods. Another plus was that Todd gave me tips and suggestions on what foods and vitamins to take to further help my fertility along.
Two years later, we decided to do the process again. I again knew that my success in becoming pregnant depended on having acupuncture treatments with Todd. So I began seeing Todd right away. And this time, I got pregnant from our first IVF cycle and the first embryo transfer, giving us a second beautiful baby girl!
I can't say enough about what Todd does and how great he is with his patients. I highly recommend that anyone struggling with infertility go see Todd for treatment. There is no doubt in my mind that Todd is the reason I am now blessed with two wonderful children. He understands the treatments IVF patients go through and he will complement the process throughout while giving you a higher chance for success.
