Hi Linda
I hope you're well. I'm slowly starting to believe that this round of ivf has worked - but still have to pinch myself!
Following my first, unsuccessful, round of IVF I found that the fertility drugs I had been prescribed made me feel ill and increasingly run down throughout the whole procedure. I only managed to produce one egg which - although fertilised - did not result in pregnancy.
In embarking on my second round of treatment, I decided to investigate acupuncture as a complimentary therapy having read a range of positive articles in the press. I hoped that it would both increase the chances of success as well as make me feel better throughout the procedure. Alongside this I also did the recommended things such as gentle exercise, healthy eating, no alcohol and plenty of rest. I also cut out caffeine.
Throughout the entire round of treatment I saw Linda weekly, as well as the recommended day before and after the egg transfer. Throughout the entire process I felt in better health and am convinced using acupuncture assisted us getting a positive result - something I thought I would never see!
I will be continuing to see Linda throughout my pregnancy and would recommend anyone undertaking IVF to up their chances as much as possible by adopting a holistic approach to the treatment. I feel it was a very a positive influence on my mind and body at a stressful, physically demanding time.

Hi Linda,
Can't believe it's just over two weeks since we spoke. Well I done a home pregnancy test yesterday and it was positive..... Both of us were in complete shock. I also had a blood test yesterday to double confirm. That came back as 102.8, the nurse said anything over 100 was good.
