Pregnant at 38 with IVF and History of Endometriosis
"I began seeing Carolyn in January 2006. After riding the roller coaster ride of traditional infertility treatments and surgeries for 5 years-I was desperately searching for a better way. Soon after my miracle daughter conceived through IVF turned 1..I began dreaming of another baby, but not looking forward to the rigorous, painful treatments and the emotional turmoil. Now 3 years older, I was told by my doctors that my odds of becoming pregnant on my own were 1 % !!! After the heartbreak of 2 more IVF attempts, my husband and I were at our emotional and financial limit and decided on one last try for a baby. I was determined to give myself every possible advantage. Reaching for answers and hope I called Carolyn whose expertise guided me through a change in diet, added supplements and weekly sometimes biweekly acupuncture treatments and occasional massage. The changes I felt were almost immediate-with better health came a sense of regained power and confidence. With the treatments I received my best results ever with 4 perfect embryos! Three embryos were placed in late May 2006 and Carolyn performed acupuncture treatments before and after the surgical treatments to ensure implantation. Two weeks later we received the incredible news-I was pregnant!!!! Thank you Carolyn for helping to make the inconceivable believable - I now have a wonderful baby girl!"
