Wow, I’m not sure where to begin. I think the title alone says a lot. I just wish I had learned about Acubalance a lot sooner. I first learned of Acubalance from a flyer in the waiting room of the IVF office in the fall of 2008. At the time, I was only days away from retrieval….
After having tried to conceive on our own for a year and a half, my husband and I were referred to a doctor at the UBC Fertility Clinic. After many tests, I learned I was not a candidate for IVF because of my low ovarian reserve. — I had a low antral follicle count, and…
After a year of trying to conceive, I was diagnosed with “premature ovarian failure” at the age of 26. Devastated, my husband and I thought our chances to have a child were over. After much soul-searching and research, we decided in vitro fertilization (IVF) was the path we wanted to take. IVF is an expensive…
After several years of trying to conceive unsuccessfully, I was diagnosed with stage four endometriosis in March 2007. The doctor said that I only had a 20% chance of getting pregnant naturally but would have a better chance using assisted reproductive technology. This was very devastating news. Based on our chances, we contemplated trying IVF….
It is with great joy that I thank Dr. Lorne Brown and the entire Acubalance team for their extraordinary care. I’m happy and healthfully 24 weeks pregnant with my first child at age 36. I first approached Acubalance, and Dr. Brown specifically, upon the recommendation of a close friend. She knew that my husband and…
Canada Day weekend 2007 found me in bed crying for three days as I miscarried at 10 weeks. My husband lay next to me, holding me the whole time. I felt so crushed, so broken like my body and my life was betraying me. I had to undergo a D&C at the hospital. We had…
After my first attempt at IVF failed due to poor egg quality and quantity, I asked my OBGYN what I could do before I started my second round to prepare my body and increase my fertility. He suggested that I try acupuncture and referred me to Dr. Brown’s clinic Acubalance. I had tried acupuncture previously…
After losing our first son at 22 weeks, I was scared to get pregnant again. I didn’t know how we would be able to get pregnant again and deal with the anxiety and fear of carrying another child. After hearing about Acubalance from a friend, I started going on a weekly basis to get a…
I first started seeing Ryan at Acubalance in January 2010. Since a teenager, I have always had irregular/infrequent cycles which my doctor attributed to hormonal imbalances and diagnosed as oligomenorrhoea. At the time, my husband and I were not trying to get pregnant. However, we knew that we would want to start trying to conceive…
We are so excited to share our story of how we got pregnant naturally after a negative IVF and miscarriage! My entire life, I have always known that I wanted to have a family of my own. I have always loved being around children. When I got married, I was still really young. Even though…
