Natural conception with 3 months of acupuncture

bess0007 — Thu, 17 May 2012 14:48:29 +0000

“A year ago I found Hongji when my husband and I were about to begin our first cycle of IVF. I had experienced 2 failed pregnancies in my 30′s and now being in our early 40′s, we weren’t sure if we still had a chance to conceive a child of our own. I met with Hongji and she felt we had a good chance using acupuncture. We had heard of other people having success using both IVF and acupuncture, so we decided to do both simultaneously. Hongji provided treatments for the time leading up to and during the IVF cycle. Unfortunately, the 3 perfect embryos we transferred did not result in a pregnancy. Our doctor then wanted us to take a month off before beginning another IVF cycle. During that time off I continued my treatments with Hongji. To our surprise we became pregnant naturally during that one month break on our own! We believe that it was Hongji’s treatments that helped us become pregnant naturally. I have continued my acupuncture with Hongji to help support my pregnancy and will soon deliver our baby girl. It has been a dream come true for us and we cannot be more thankful to Hongji for her excellent care and attention. I highly recommend Hongji to anyone who is open to exploring an alternative approach to infertility.” —Melissa

Pregnant after 3 months of acupuncture

“After being on the pill for 10+ years, a really early miscarriage and a laparoscopic surgery (which ultimately was unnecessary and exploratory) my body needed a nudge in the right direction in order to regulate my cycles and to get pregnant. I wasn’t prepared for Western medical intervention quite yet and wanted to try acupuncture first. My body responded to Hongji’s acupuncture and herbal treatement right away, bringing my cycles and ovulation well within normal range. My husband took herbs too. I got knocked-up during my third cycle of acupuncture and herbs and am now 20 weeks along with a healthy baby! I don’t hesitate in recommending Hongji. She’s professional, fun, she always wanted me to feel 100% comfortable with the treatment plan and she completely respected any concerns I had.” —Nicole

Oh baby!

“I came to Hongji after multiple attempts with Clomid, no period for 6 months, and a doctor telling me our only hope was IVF. After just a few months of treatment my periods became regular, and I was ovulating! I went into the process knowing that I wanted to conceive naturally and that it would take patience. It did take patience and many more months of treatment, but it worked and I am now pregnant! I know that we would not be where we are today without Hongji and her magic needles. Not only did acupuncture work for me, but Hongji was the best! I looked forward to seeing her every week!” —Paige

Surprise!

“I came in for lower back pain and decreased energy level, and the treatments with Hongji have made a significant improvement to both. I am also now pregnant. Which is remarkable, because I am male. But such is the power … Continue reading →

Another acupuncture success with chronic miscarriage

“I had my 36 week check-up today and figured it is time to give credit where credit is due. I don’t think this would have been possible without Hongji! In the midst of my third miscarriage in the span of a year, I walked out of my OB/GYN office with the painful words ‘you will have to have another miscarriage before we will look further into it’ ringing in my ears. I knew I needed to take action. I started seeing Hongji shortly after my miscarriage. At this point I wasn’t just searching for answers, I was seeking healing. Hongji provided a therapeutic environment where the healing could begin, as well as the confidence to try again. After 3 months of ‘therapy’, just as we had planned, I found out I was pregnant. With regular treatments throughout the pregnancy, I have been able to hold on to this one and will be meeting my little miracle soon. I am truly grateful to my friend who recommended Hongji to me, and will undoubtedly recommend her to many others.” —Krista

Acupuncture helps IVF patient increase egg count (…and now she’s 5 months pregnant!)

bess0007 — Thu, 29 Sep 2011 14:34:58 +0000

“My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant since 2007. I’ve undergone multiple types of infertility treatments including 3 cycles of IVF. I started treatments with Hongji before my last IVF cycle. Once she worked her magic powers, my egg count was higher than it had ever been and I actually had day 5 eggs which I’ve never had before. I’m currently 5 months pregnant! Yay!

I felt at ease right away with Hongji. She’s knowledgeable, professional, funny and personable. I would definitely recommend her for not only infertility treatment, but also for any other ailments. She’s great!” —Kristine

Another fertility success with acupuncture!

“Hongji at Point Clinic is an excellent practitioner of acupuncture and Chinese medicine. Her advice, reassurance and positive attitude helped my husband and I get through the struggles of infertility. We started fertility treatments with Hongji in 2009 after several years of trying to conceive and suffering a miscarriage. Once I started with her recommended regiment of Chinese herbs, weekly acupuncture and some dietary changes, my cycles became regular and predictable, after years of suffering from irregular periods. In addition, my mood significantly improved after falling into a depressive state after a miscarriage. I cannot recommend Hongji enough for her great work in treating our infertility issues.

We were able to conceive our daughter in approximately 6 months of treatments, and I continued acupuncture through the first trimester to prevent a miscarriage and returned again in the last few months of my pregnancy to prepare my body for delivery. Our daughter is now one year old and is a happy and healthy little girl! Many thanks to Hongji for all of her help!” —Sybil
