Acupuncture-Fertility

My name is Eva and in January 1998 my husband and I became proud parents of a baby boy, Noah. 

When Noah was three years old, we decided it was time for a sibling for our son.  At first, we just tried on our own with no luck.  After months and months of disappointment, I made an appointment with my OBGYN to discuss any possible problems.   It was at that point that I was diagnosed with PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome).  My doctor told me it was a hormonal imbalance and because I was not having a regular cycle, I was also not ovulating.  My OBGYN put me on medication and prescribed fertility pills, known as Clomid.  We were very excited and hopeful that this would work for us, but again after months and months of trying, counting days and praying and hoping we were still unsuccessful.  It was getting more and more difficult to continue, but we desperately wanted to have another child and were willing to try anything. 

A friend recommended a doctor in Medford, which was three hours away from home.  I soon made an appointment and made the long drive to see her.  She put me on Fertility medication, a low carb diet and a progesterone cream that I would apply on my skin.  Again, after months of making long trips back and forth we still were not pregnant.

In hopes of a new treatment, I switched to another OBGYN who specialized in infertility.  After my initial examination and going through test after test, my doctor recommended that I have a procedure known as a Laparoscopy.  He informed that many women have conceived after having this procedure and he was very hopeful that this would be our answer.  In March of 2004, I had a Laparoscopy and once again hoped for the best.  We tried month after month, we were unsuccessful.  We were devastated and heart broken.

At this point we had been trying for over 4 years and the emotional rollercoaster was evident.  It became extremely difficult to see or be around friends and family who were getting pregnant and having babies.  I wondered every day, why not me? Why am I being punished?  I loved being a mother to my son and all I wanted was another baby.  I avoided the baby isles in the stores and watching shows on television that had anything to do with pregnancy or babies.  It even started affecting my relationship with my husband.  Although he supported me through it all, he suggested we should start accepting the idea that we may only have one child of our own and maybe look into adoption. But I refused to give up hope.

My mom suggested I try acupuncture, she had heard that it was very successful with infertility and I should be open to other methods.  I soon made an appointment with Travis Buckmaster from Northwood Heath Center.  I started going once a week for treatment and taking herbal dietary supplements which Travis recommended for me.  I noticed a difference immediately.  I had more energy and felt better overall.  I started having regular cycles on my own without any other medication.  After only three months of treatment, on December 21, 2005 I found out that I was Pregnant! 

On August 4^th 2006, Our little miracle was born.  A healthy baby girl, we named Keira.  It was an incredible day to finally hold my baby girl in my arms.  This was something I thought I would never be able to do.  But thanks to Travis he made it all possible and there are no words that I could say to thank him for everything he did for us.  He gave us a precious gift. 

Since I conceived with the help of Travis, I have referred three friends who were also struggling with getting pregnant.  They now all have new babies, thanks to Travis.

Travis, THANK YOU so much for everything you did.  You are truly my miracle worker. Because of you,   I now have my beautiful little girl.

My husband and I tried to get pregnant for 2.5 years.  After many tests, fertility medications with nasty side effects, tons of money spent, and no answers we decided to try acupuncture.  The first month of treatments we were shocked to find out I was pregnant!   Our daughter was one-year old when we decided to try for number two, knowing it could take some time.  After six months of trying, I thought to ask Dr. Buckmaster about acupuncture.  Well to our surprise, again after only ONE treatment, my husband and I were thrilled to find out I was pregnant with baby number two!   Acupuncture had no side effects as the fertility medications did.  It was a relaxing, in-expensive, all natural cure for our infertility.  I highly reccommend acupuncture to all those struggling with fertility!
