When my husband and I first started trying to have a baby, we thought I would get pregnant immediately. Everything else in my life had worked on a schedule and I believed that pregnancy would be no different. After three months of “trying”, I started to get a bit concerned and began charting my cycles…
After two years of struggling with infertility, recording my temperature daily, taking vitamins… and basically doing what every book I read told me to do, I attended the local Fertility clinic. They sent me for tests to check my tubes for blockage. My husband’s sperm count was fine and my tubes were clear, which was…
I’ve wanted to be a parent for as long as I can remember and I’m finally in the right place and in the right relationship. I know a whole lot about fertility because I provided sexual health counseling for years. I taught women how to check their cervical mucous, chart their cycles, and take their…
I had never been pregnant and my husband and I had been trying to conceive for years. After trying on our own (using a fertility thermometer to check for ovulation), we had no luck. At age 36, I began to worry. After blood work on day 3 and day 21 of my cycle, it was…
For one and a half years, I have lived on a rollercoaster ride of emotions! Excitement, anticipation, depression, and disappointment. This is how long it took my husband and me to get pregnant. We were charting, timing, measuring, researching, and talking about getting pregnant to the point where we were no longer making love –…
At the age of 43, I was told that both my tubes were blocked. After much discussion, my partner, a doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and I opted to try in vitro fertilization. We also decided to see Lorne Brown in order to maximize my chances of a successful outcome. At the ultrasound when they…
For more than three years, my husband and I struggled with unexplained infertility. We underwent every available medical test and turned to a series of increasingly drastic fertility treatments. When IVF and two subsequent cryogenic cycles failed, we began to wonder if we would ever be blessed with children of our own. Then I heard…
In September 2002, I had a miscarriage. Following the D&C, my periods were very irregular – although I had struggled with irregular periods for years. I could go as much as four or five months without a period. I wanted to get pregnant again but was having difficulty with my fertility – and was also…
Three years ago, I underwent IVF/ICSI to conceive our first baby. I had heard that trying acupuncture and herbs while undergoing fertility treatment could be really beneficial. Happily, our first try was successful and we had a beautiful baby girl! When we moved to Vancouver, we decided to try for Baby Number 2. This time,…
Dear Lorne, It’s been a couple of months since I last came to see you for acupuncture treatment so I thought you might like to know that there’s been good-news development for me: about two weeks after my last treatment in mid-July, I found out I was pregnant naturally at 41! I’m now at about…
