12 Weeks Pregnant....always a delight to hear!

One of my patient's sent me this message yesterday and allowed me to post. I am always delighted to hear even after the fact, as some women do not always continue with the acupuncture during pregnancy. However, it is recommended to come in for the first 12 weeks to prevent miscarriage.
"Hi Carolyn
Thanks for sending me this news article(seewww.winknews.com, Acupuncture helping couples to conceive, listed below). I was actually thinking of you today because I'm 12 weeks pregnant!! I conceived during that second IUI cycle in combination with your acupuncture/herbal treatments. I was very excited when I found out I was pregnant but wanted to wait until at least 12 weeks to tell you. I can't thank you enough for your understanding, and your guidance in helping me to conceive and to make healthier food choices. I believe it all helped my mind and body to be in sync with one another, in a more relaxed manner, which made me more fertile!
Everything is good so far, we are so happy to be pregnant, and to put that long chapter of infertility behind us. Thank you!!" K.R.

I cannot wait to see her baby!

Twin Boys

"I started seeing Carolyn after a few months of trying to conceive with no luck, at the same time that my husband and I started testing for fertility issues. We ultimately determined that we had a severe male factor infertility issue, however, I kept seeing Carolyn once a week throughout the whole process. Working with Carolyn helped me stay calm and focused and, I believe, primed my mind and body to respond well to my first IVF cycle. My husband needed surgery to retrieve sperm, which we did in conjunction with the IVF cycle. Because of the specialized nature of the surgery, we did the cycle in New York. I worked with Carolyn up until I left for New York, was treated with acupuncture while in New York and continued with Carolyn upon my return, once a week through my first trimester. I am now 21 weeks along, expecting twin boys! We could not be happier and I thank Carolyn very much for our success."

IS IT TOO LATE TO BEGIN ACUPUNCTURE?

Many women when they call me about acupuncture for their fertility ask me "is it too late to begin acpuncture treatments?" My response to them is, "is it too late to brush your teeth? Is it too late to eat healthy? Is it to late to exercise? To pray?" Acupuncture is far more than just for fertility, it helps to keep us emotionally and spiritually balanced. When I went for the first time 20 years ago for my low back pain, it was the calmness of mind and emotions that thrilled me more. If you have a physical problem it usually is indicative you need to take more time for yourself to heal on all levels, body, mind, spirit. Take the time for you, the world will love you if you do.
